    Rough Running After Service

    Yea, I've already determined that one of the plug boots is loosely fitted. I get a real light snap with it while the others take a bit of effort to release. I have limited garage space, time, and still haven't figured out a safe lift solution. I don't think I'm built for this. Going to ruminate...

    Rough Running After Service

    On scale of 1-5 how hard are the intake valve gaps to check and adjust? I called Cadre. Enzo thinks it may be one of the wires like previously suggested but isn't sure. He wants me to bring the bike back to his shop. That's another $300.00 and 9 hour round trip because he doesn't recommend I...

    Rough Running After Service

    I'm not very technical but let me give it a shot. Prior to service the engine felt very smooth under torgue down to 2000 RPM. You couldn't really feel the individual cylinders firing. Now I can. The first thing that comes to mind is this is what it feels like when people say engine timing is...

    Rough Running After Service

    I took my 2018 Eldorado in for the 6000 mile service. After getting the bike back it runs a lot "rougher" below 4500 RPM. Before anything above 2000 RPM was smooth as butter. At first I thought it was just mental on my part but my wife asked about it the first time I rode her after the service...

    No, it's metal.

    Tire Pressure Monitoring

    Can anyone with an Eldorado let me know which sensors they went with? I ordered the Fobo2's and the found the sensors too big to clear the front brake caliper.

    Tire Pressure Monitoring

    Anyone had any luck with a TPMS for the Eldorado/California? I'm never going to be mature enough to check my pressures before every ride. Wondering if any of the aftermarket systems have any worth?

    Eldorado Jump Start

    Episode 36 of Tony's newb adventures: Checked the air filter. It looks brand new. Fitted the new BSLi-09 battery lithium battery. I just bent the connectors into "L" shapes instead of "U" and screwed them down. Indicator on battery was reading full charge. Checked with voltmeter between...

    Eldorado Jump Start

    For some strange reason I like you folks and since I don't know Enzo yet I went and got the BSLi-09 battery. Before I do something I can't back out of though I'm reading the installation guide and looking at the battery and am a little perplexed on how to connect the bike's connector's to the...

    Eldorado Jump Start

    I would think but I'm no expert. Everyone talks about Cadre in high regard so I'm rolling with what they are saying. He said he would do a diagnostic but believes it sounds like a straight battery swap to solve from what I described over the phone.

    Eldorado Jump Start

    Just as an FYI, since the bike is close to its service interval I scheduled to take it into Cadre Cycle and have them review the starting issue. According to them these bikes don't work well with Lithium Ion batteries and they don't recommend them. Didn't go into why. I'll ask them when I drop...

    Eldorado Jump Start

    OK. I'll slap a battery in and see where that gets me.

    Eldorado Jump Start

    At rest the battery read 12.7. Upon starting in read 12.4 and didn't rise even when I got the rpm's up to just over 3000 so that means something in charging system is toast correct? I don't have a reliable way to jack up the bike so I have to get it to a shop...which is three hours away. <sigh>...

    Eldorado Jump Start

    Thank you all for all of the info. After 56 years of blissful ignorance I am determined to educate myself on how my bike works and how to work on it so please excuse the clueless questions. I have a new battery on the way. How do I check the charging system to make sure it wasn't the original...

    Eldorado Jump Start

    Has anyone switched over to a Lithium Ion battery? Now I'm being told that some of them don't like the cold at all. In the Midwest U.S. that's not going to work.

    Eldorado Jump Start

    Is there a correct way to jump start an 2018 Eldorado? The terminals are covered with a plastic shield that has to be disassembled if you're out on the road. While out riding my gauge cluster went psychotic throwing all kinds of trouble lights and telling me I was traveling at 253 mph. Stupid me...

    Lifting the Eldo

    I’ve procratinated long enough on learning how to wrench on my Eldorado. If this marriage is going to last I've got to go to school. First thing I have to figure out is how to lift this girl off the ground. I don't have space for a full size bike lift and my jacks don't get the rear end off the...

    Old rider, new member - needs advice on first Guzzi

    I was in same situation three years ago. I was waffling between the two but in the end the styling of the Eldorado won me out. Buy what you love and you'll never regret it over small stuff. The Eldorado handles a little bit mor nimbly due to the smaller diameter tires. The styling is a show...

    Cal1400 REGISTRY & Pics thread - ADD YOUR BIKE

    Hi Peter, Just over 5,000 I'm a bit ashamed to say. I just don't have time to ride with job and family. I had my longest ride this past week of 482 miles round trip. Rode like a dream. I gotta get out more.
