    Cal1400 REGISTRY & Pics thread - ADD YOUR BIKE

    Yeah, I think that particular color combination went a long way in convincing me to purchase. I tried to get attached to some of the others but this seemed to suit the lines best. By the way, I added the factory top box. Mixed feelings about what it does to the lines but very well made and we do...

    California 1400 hanging throttle

    I'm only going by what I see on mine but it doesn't sound like the same problem. Mine would only latch onto the 3,000 on the way down from higher RPM. It never climbed up there from a lower number. What happens if you don't fuel? Just get it good and hot, shut it off for a minute then restart...

    California 1400 hanging throttle

    I wonder just how many folks fell in love with this machine and then found this problem, gave up and sold? In my research i found four or five problem reports just on this website. Moto Guzzi doesn't appear to have a very good communication network between dealers or between dealers and...

    California 1400 hanging throttle

    By "they" you mean whom? This was under warranty and Moto Guzzi was calling the shots. So, no they don't do that when it is cheaper (for them) to just send another head. In your case however, I think that is a great idea. So now you know you are dealing with a good part structurally and then go...

    California 1400 hanging throttle

    Loosy gussi, opening the valve lash might help cover up the problem for a while but you start to introduce some pounding in the valve train and you will start changing the valve timing events which will take you down a whole other slippery slope. Then what are you going to do with the right hand...

    California 1400 hanging throttle

    Thanks guys. The dealer did all the work, not me. But I did the reporting. Just a heads up (no pun intended); we did a compression test and leak down on mine and everything was within parameters. It did NOT indicate a problem. One of the predominate problems with this issue that you see in the...

    California 1400 hanging throttle

    I bought an extremely low mileage 2015 Tour (270 miles) and discovered it had an idle problem. Everything was normal when it was cold and as it started to warm up. After that I would get the notorious hanging throttle @ 3,000rpm. We can all rest assured that Moto Guzzi didn’t design a motorcycle...
