I have the same issue with a 2014 Griso I purchased last summer with 5,000 miles on it. I couldn't even get a laser cutter to cut the key correctly. My solution is to make sure I don't lose the one key I do have... :|
I always had sportbikes before I bought my first California and had the same worry. The California, once moving, does handle very well for a big bike. I have no problems. Don't drop it and you won't need to pick it up. :)
My Ducati Monster 1200S does the same thing. Keeps you from wondering when the light turned on. Of course, if it told you how far you can go, you wouldn’t need to know when the light turned on. Then again, you know you will push it beyond the recommended distance to empty, you know you will.
Very nice! I am going to get one of those lift tables for my 1962 Ducati 250 Monza project bike. My father has rebuilt over 20 bikes on his lift table. Thanks for the wheel clamp upgrade idea!
I felt the same when I bought my first MG back in 2017. The California Custom fit my need for a straight up touring bike, versus the Ducatis I have owned since 1992. I liked the Custom so much, I bought another one. Thought I would get a spare, only because they have stopped making this type...
The bike is a 2014 California. It’s a Dunlap D251F. I assume it’s OEM because the bike has only 3200 miles on it. I bought it from my father, and runs them to the cords....
This is my first touring bike (both of them), and I love it! If I wish to go straight up sport, I take the Ducati M1200S. If a full sport ride is needed, I take the 1999 Ducati 996. The new sportbikes are way too much for me. The Ducati 851 usually stays in the garage. I just like to look...
thanks jbhotchkiss! Yes. I was able to get all the fasteners....even that bugger by the driveshaft under the pannier bracket. Had to modify a 5mm allen wrench, but i got it. I thought that was the hard part, until trying to get the muffler separated. I will try the mallet.
I am attempting to put Agostini mufflers (don't ask...already have that problem posted on an earlier thread..) on my 2014 Cali Touring. Will I need to remap?
Hello all. I recently purchased my father's 2014 California Touring, to match up with my Cali Custom. (I know, a little redundant, but a hellufa deal). I am attempting to put Agostini silencers on it, but can not get the stock mufflers off the headers. There are only 1800 miles on the bike...
