    Another Nit

    Wouldn't say anything but It's happened once on each side. Takes three tools and five fasteners to correct if the plastic catch is not damaged. Horn is awful as well.

    Oil Check

    I got the bright idea to take the dip stick cap off while on the side stand. About a quart of oil fell on the floor and with all the mess I almost screwed up the plastic threads. I ran it a few miles to warm and put in a chock and the oil was barely 1/4 quart low. Check your oil from the...

    Low speed low side

    I was hit by another rider while turning right and my rear kicked out and down I went. He was going about 45 and did not see my signal, I was going about 30 since I was familiar with the turn. Scraped up the right side of my Touring, ruined my (new!) Arai helmet and had sore ribs for a while...

    24K maintenance

    No issues, valves were in spec. again. Fuel filter was fairly easy to change as well. Plugs were a little dirty but no visible wear, changed them as per schedule. It is easy to work on the Guzzi compared to my Aprilia's! (except for the rear wheel removal).

    No Electrical power, no start

    Just went out to ride the 1400, turned the key on and got the normal instrument checks then pushed the starter and lost all power. Right now it's dead, I ran a few searches and can't find anything similar. Headed for the garage for the usual checks but was hoping someone has an idea. Haven't...

    18K Service Report

    Valves were in spec. I adjusted them more for practice than anything else, replace the gaskets but I couldn't see the difference between old and new. Spark plugs looked good. No problems with the plugs or wires. Gear Box fluid drain plug was loose. It's worth removing two screws on the...

    Exhaust header color

    I've got about 15000 miles on my Cali Touring, I've ridden it pretty hard in hot weather but have done all the maintenance including valve adjustments. I've got a significant color difference between the cylinders, nothing is noticable regarding performance. Marks on the "normal" header are an...

    Florida Guzzi dealer

    I was at Adventure Motorsports a couple days ago getting my new (used) BMW serviced. I got the strong impression they are dropping Moto Guzzi and will be adding a couple Japanese Brands. I've been to a few dealers over the last year and, like Adventure, they still have the V9's on the floor at...
