    08 CalVin tank pressure?

    Great, thanks. It's too nice outside right now to work on anything, though. Going for a ride, will probably get to it when (if) our rain ever comes back. ;)

    Fuel/spark adjust questions

    My '08 CalVin was popping badly on deceleration, so loud that it sounded like a shotgun blast and was getting embarrassing. (I have LaFranconi open mufflers). Took it to my local tech who mostly got rid or the loud blasts. I also had a problem of a flat spot/hesitation upon roll-on, usually...

    08 CalVin tank pressure?

    Thanks. Now for a newbie question, as I haven't looked beyond anything past the exposed parts of the bike, yet. I assume I need to remove the neck covers to find the hose, but will the tank have to be lifted or moved at all?

    Passenger backrest for CalVin?

    Thank you, Todd. Any idea if the luggage rack or the bar around the seat would have to remain off?

    Passenger backrest for CalVin?

    Does anyone have or know if there exists a passenger backrest for the Cal Vintage model? I'm not looking for a top box, just a regular backrest like an EV might have. TIA.

    Thank you, will do!

    08 CalVin tank pressure?

    Greetings, all: I have a new to me '08 CalVin. I notice that whenever I open the tank to fill her up, or just to check the level I get a sucking sound. Especially on hot days or when I've been riding for a while and gas may be low. Sometimes it's just a slight sound, other times a noticeable...

    1999 Bassa Fuel Level sensor fail

    I had both a '99 and a '00 Bassa. Both senders went out in short order. I never relied on them anyway. I just used the trip meter.

    Pre-1400 Cali discussions?

    Which section might one read or post about Calis other than the new 14? In particular the CalVin. I recently acquired one and have some on-going questions and requests for advice. Thanks. Never mind! I just saw the Tonti and Loop section hiding under another heading.

    Emissions stickers?

    Thanks, Todd. I'll take a look.

    Emissions stickers?

    Can someone tell me where the EPA and 50 State (Ca.) emissions stickers would be on a 2009 Norge? Thanks.

    Cal-Vin 50 state bike?

    Cool beans, Todd! Thanks, Re: DMV, my contact told me not to chance trying to reg it without the 7500 as they will flag the VIN and I'll never be able to reg it in Ca. It's a toss up if you get a stickler at the DMV who goes by the book, but I don't want to chance it. I once bought a bike in...

    Cal-Vin 50 state bike?

    Thanks, Todd. I was just told by a friend at the DMV that it will need to have 7500 miles on it whether it has a sticker or not. I downloaded the certificate from CARB which lists the bike as a 50 state vehicle, as well. I may just take you up on your loaner offer. ;) Before I saw this post, I...

    Cal-Vin 50 state bike?

    Does anyone know definitively whether the Cal-Vin is a 50 state bike? I just closed a deal on a 2008 with 2500 miles on the clock. It's in Tennessee and on its way to California, where the law is if a vehicle has under 7500 miles on it, it MUST be a 50 state vehicle with appropriate stickers...

    FYI Re: 09 Norge rotors

    "Speed sensors" is what I was told, Brian. That's all I know.

    FYI Re: 09 Norge rotors

    Thanks, Todd. This is being done under extended warranty, so I'll wait and see what happens next. If there are any further lengthy hold ups, I'll give you a shout and see what we can work out. Joe

    California 1400 mods

    I'm becoming more and more interested in this bike. Heard nothing but good reviews on it. I'm currently on a Norge which I love, but I'm a cruiser guy from way back. Had a couple of bassas and loved them, I hear this 1400 is even better handling, which is really saying something for a cruiser in...

    FYI Re: 09 Norge rotors

    Follow-up on rotors. New ones just came in, no longer made with gold centers, they are black now. Also, with the order were the ABS speed sensors. They sent two different ones and of course one doesn't fit, so back it goes. My mechanic was told that it has to come from Guzzi and that they will...

    Made In China

    I don't doubt there are a handful of products that meet international standards. It's just that, IMO, the majority of everyday consumable itmes I see from there are more foten than not cheaply made crap. Personally I wouldn't trust any safety related products from them. I refuse to even buy...
