    Piaggio Group aka Moto Guzzi USA

    I really appreciate the candor. I will say that at times I get frustrated with lack of service, astronomical part prices, lack of business sense, the downright refusal to share information when needed by "service" department types, with my "drive through window, I want it NOW" Yankee mentality...

    Piaggio Group aka Moto Guzzi USA

    I wrote a letter to Piaggio Group and this is the response... My letter follows the response. The last sentence of this response throws me a bit..."Support for those of us Americans that ride the best motorcycle in the world." in light of my request. I was not having a good week, and maybe...

    Guzzi in Montana

    I want to thank apex 1397 for the Ducati alternator, Euro motoelectric for the rectifier, and everyone that had input on my effort to put my 98 Cali on Montana asphalt. I just got it all together and it runs, it charges the battery, and it hauls my shortfatbaldbikerbutt very very well and...

    1990 mille sparks on one side

    Are all the connections free of corrosion? How far back have you traced the lack of spark, ie. spark plug, spark plug wire, coil, distributor? Are you running points in the distributor or is it electronic ignition? If points, check condensers and point gap, if electronic check the connector...

    Aftermarket Electronic Turn Signal Module

    Mon Aug 01, 2011 10:45 am While chasing down electrical problems on my 98 Cali, I found a small plastic box tied onto the frame in the battery box. I noticed that the wires coming from the box went to the wiring harness but were clipped into the harness with aftermarket crush clips. The decal...

    1998 California altenator needed (Ducati)

    GEODOC, I went to the Euro Motoelectric site and checked out the 450 unit. According to the data the retrofit to a Guzzi is 1975 to 1993. Not so sure about the 98 I am trying to resurrect, But I will contact Euro and find out about later applications.. GuzziLVR

    1998 California altenator needed (Ducati)

    Thanks everyone, truely a family here. John, I did check out the yellow leads and there was NO charge coming off the leads, and before I fired the engine up I did the ohms resistance check and it came out @ 0.000 which indicated a short in the stator. I pulled the altenator off the engine and...

    1998 California altenator needed (Ducati)

    First I want to thank all those who developed this site. Since I am in the middle of Montana, Guzzi bikes as well as parts are few and fewer. I have a 1998 California and I have had a charging problem. First thing I noticed was the wires were burnt from the regulator. I ordered and received a...

    Crash bar removal / windscreen needed

    I am without the special tool to remove the lower bolts from the crash bar on my 98 California. It appears to be some type of Allen head, and if so what size? Could I find this at an automotive store or a bike site? I am also looking for a site that would have a fairing and windscreen with...

    98 cali 1100 FI regulator replacement

    The regulator on my 98 California 1100 fuel injected burnt up (melted wiring from a case of lost insulation on the charging wires coming in contact with the frame. I ordered a replacement regulator and while waiting for the part, downloaded a color coded wiring diagram. Since this is a Ducati...
