    Clicking noise and no start

    How is this done and what am I looking for? What does this tell you and how is this corrected? I'm a horrible mechanic, I can do light things like an oil change or adding a farkle, but this sounds complicated.

    Clicking noise and no start

    When I replaced the battery I did notice corrosion on the battery end,I cleaned the terminals really well when I placed the new battery back in, but never checked the wires on the other end. (and frankly, where do those wires end or lead to?) I checked the starter yesterday and that nut was nice...

    Clicking noise and no start

    I've had a couple of starting issues with my 14 Touring. It's only happened when the bike is cold, with the last incident this morning. I mount the bike, lift the side stand, hit the starter button and all I get is a faint click. I thought this might be a weak battery so I replaced it 2-3 weeks...

    What did Todd do exactly with the mapping and tuning? What about the clutch switch? Part number? Ease of replacement?

    Clayton Is there detailed instructions on how to remove the check valve? What stays and goes and gets capped off?

    I have heard those whale sounds and i vaguely remember a fix for it, I just wasn't aware it meant removing the canister. This is good to know, thanks guys.

    Safe to assume the charcoal canister on the 1400 is like on my Beemer? Just introduced a lot of black junk into the gas? Why are 1400 owners better off without it?

    Jimmy Thanks for letting me know a stock bike with no pipes STILL has this issue!!! Finally, I got someone to confirm I wasn't nuts. I didn't install my pipes until late October. I had an episode prior to the pipes and one or two after. So me switching back to stock wouldn't fix a damn...

    Who's your dealer Lou? And what made you get your ECU flashed? Just curious.

    California 1400 hanging throttle

    I wouldn't bother with them whatsoever. They had a "managers" special 2014 white Cal Touring(new?) for 14,999. In the pre owned section they had a black (2014) touring with listed miles of 995 for 14499. What would you do? I would go new as long as it still has a warranty because the black one...

    California 1400 hanging throttle

    I could do that, but I don't think I want to trust them with my bike, not after what they did to my friend. Just to show you how sneaky they are listen to this. I went into the shop one day last week because they had advertised a low miles Ducati Diavel Strada on Cycle Trader. I believe they...

    Motorcycle Mall is a horror show. They ripped my friend off trying to fix her older Guzzi, she had to sue them to get some of her money back. It's a shame also because they moved into a brand new, state of the art facility. It's gigantic and you would think they hire only the best to work on the...

    My thoughts exactly! This is one of the reasons I was leery of this brand, who do I trust for AFTER SALES service, warranty and accessories work.

    California 1400 hanging throttle

    I went to a dealer a few weeks ago and they couldn't replicate the issue. But I do have a question. I have had one update to the ecu done while the bike was under warranty. It was for an idling issue and MG had authorized it. Anyway my dealer now tells me he wouldn't be able to download any...

    California 1400 hanging throttle

    Told my wife what I want and NEED for Christmas this is what I'm getting in the near future! Plus speaking with Todd and maybe you can chime in, will this help in making the bike run a little cooler? I'm just not crazy about all of the heat this bike puts out. My 2001 air cooled Beemer comes no...

    Todd You're talking to a total novice when it comes to Moto Guzzi's and or fuel management. Not to mention installing said fuel managers. I know we briefly spoke about my heat issue this past spring/summer but what what do you reccomend again?

    California 1400 hanging throttle

    I'm confused what happens when you let go of the throttle? It shuts off on you? I've spoken to Todd ever so briefly about this but honestly I'm only good for light weight stuff on my bikes. Todd's equipment requires going to a dealer to reflash or download to the ecu, I don't know or trust a...
