    California ECU Differences?

    just wondering if anyone knows what the difference, other than the label on the outside, is between the WM 15M C3 and the WM 15RC ECUs? I'm going to fit a 15M ( for California S ) to my California Classic then re flash.

    Cal Vintage ECU Problems

    My ECU completely failed on my 07 build California Classic. Not long after I bought the bike it began pinging, backfiring and popping on overrun followed by running on one cylinder under acceleration. One afternoon I was returning from a four hour ride and the bike began running extremely rich...

    Strange Thing Hapened while riding

    Hi Mike, don't want to sound like the minister of gloom and doom but I'm beginning to think there's some crap quality control going on at planet Guzzi. Your wiring issue and the seat issue, if its due to poor assembly procedures, is inexcusable. Ive got a 2007 build California Classic that has...

    09 Cal Vintage pulsating brakes!

    If you're successful in getting Guzzi to warranty your discs they'll only supply what's on your bike now which is at the root of the problem. The 4mm thick discs and the alloy centres are too light for the bikes they're fitting them to. They feel ok when they're cold but as soon as they warm up...

    09 Cal Vintage pulsating brakes!

    Dave, interesting comment re your GSX 1400. I visited my mechanic who is in the process of fitting my Cali with Brembo 5.5mm front discs. It was revealed to me that quite a few makes fitted with discs as thin as 3.5mm!!!! are having the warping problems which results in pulsing/shuddering...

    07 Build California Classic: Loud metallic vibration from inside fuel tank

    Thanks for the suggestion. I'm wondering if the new 1400 Cali is any more reliable than these earlier models. I've had this bike in and out of the workshop so much over the last two years I'm considering shooting it. The first fuel pump simply blew up! The pressure regulator was faulty and...

    07 Build California Classic: Loud metallic vibration from inside fuel tank

    Hi everyone, for about three weeks now my Cali has developed a loud metallic vibration inside the fuel tank on the pump side. I've lifted the tank to check the mounts and the pump access plate where I've found all seems ok. The noise only developes after the engine has fully warmed and is most...

    09 Cal Vintage pulsating brakes!

    Todd, when you say the in tank pumps will always be a problem do you mean for all bikes or just Guzzis? I have mates with big Jap bikes that have never had these dramas. Very odd. The ECU you offer, is it OEM?

    09 Cal Vintage pulsating brakes!

    G'day, Todd, thanks for the reply. I'll check the pads and the rotor buttons in due course but I'd be surprised if the buttons are siezed or the discs have pad build up. My bike is a weekend rider and everything is kept whisper clean. I'd be more inclined to change the rotors again for the ones...

    09 Cal Vintage pulsating brakes!

    Tony, my 07 build Cali Classic exhibited the pulsing brake problem after only 10,000ks. It was worse at low speed and using the rear/front pedal but the front right did it as well if less pronounced. My first job was to get the brake pads checked. Wearing ok. Next I ditched all 3 horrible gold...
