    1400's everywhere

    Maybe I'm going crazy and imagining things, but I swear I'm seeing1400's everywhere around Vancouver right now. Last Tuesday I clocked two customs (one black, one grey), Wednesday - two tourers (one black and one white) then yesterday near 0th avenue out towards Aldergrove, just as I turned a...

    Is there a funnier motorcycle guy out there than this one

    Spent the last hour LMAO at this guy, his videos on behalf of Fortnine (MC parts supplier) are freaking hysterical (there's dozens of them too). Here's one, check out the "Johnny Walker dismount" at 5:29. This is something we should all aspire too for that cool look as we pull up outside the...

    Iridium tip spark plugs

    I know some of you guys have fitted Iridium tip spark plugs to your 1400. Does anyone have a part number to buy on-line.

    C14 - Secondary Air Supply Pump - SAS

    As many of you know Guzzi has been fitting recent 1400s (like my 2016 Audace) with a secondary air supply pump to help it meet Euro 4 emissions. My understanding is that this injects oxygen into the exhaust to help burn unburnt fuel when you back off the throttle making it run ultra lean...

    How to screw up an Oil change - 101

    Lost count of how many oil changes I've done over the years, but this was my 3rd on the audace. Drained oil, dropped filter into drain pan, gave it a few minutes, put plug back and torqued new filter into place. Filled with about 3 liters and fired it up - result, oil everywhere - all over the...

    Not your usual Valve Clearance Question

    Coming from a past diet of Japanese inline fours, I find the rattle, clatter and general valve train noise of the 1400 both characterful and slightly irritating in equal measure. I have mentioned previously a rattle that occurs on my Audace at around 2400 rpm, which is quite noticeable, even...

    Strange Rattle from the Beast

    Ok - I know Guzzi's are known for rattles and making other "charismatic noises", but my 1400 Audace (with the euro 4 emissions stuff - if that's in any way relevant) has a strange rattle and I'm not sure if its a "feature" (as in - they all do that sir) or something that needs adjustment/looking...

    MG Rack and Givi Top Box on Audace

    So given that my bike has to serve as both fun bike and occasional tourer/commuter, I thought about attaching the MG rack to the Audace and fitting a Givi V46 Top box. First thing to note is the Audace has all the mounting holes that the Cali has. The rack also fits around the Audace rear seat...

    Audace Handlebar thread

    Being only 5'8" I found the stretch to the straight "drag" bars of the Audace a bit of a "handful" and struggled a little with back/hip ache as a result. It also made tight corners and roundabouts a bit awkward. Working in a University Engineering dept, I got one of our machinists to knock up...
