Guzzis aren't very waterproof, and you live close enough to the ocean, covered or not, that it will take some constant attention in time as things start to age. Dave at SCP will take care of you as needed I'm sure.

Everytime I went to Dave to check on things like clutch lever, front brake feels squishy, or too much throttle play, he said "it's pretty normal..." I guess I just keep on riding.
12.4 volts is actually pretty low for a standard 12 volt battery, especially for a 12 volt AGM battery. You should be upwards of 12.8 volts, it is a small difference, but details like that matter.My VIII wont start either. Different symptoms but maybe same diagnosis, battery?
Battery voltage = 12.4x Volts
Turn key on, everything powers up.
Neutral light on.
Engine cranks just 1/2 second. No other clicking.
Neutral light goes out.
Kickstand up.
Faint click (relay?) but no crank.
Fussing with gear lever to get neutral light back on, mixed results. Neutral light has mind of it's own. But can confirm neutral by rolling bike.
Sometimes leaning the bike back onto side stand will get the light to come on but still no luck starting.
Engine doesn't even try the 1/2 second crank thing again unless I turn the key off and back on.
Attach jump starter battery pack to battery- same results. I can't even jump start it?
Other than what Mike posted on above, check the battery leads for tightness and grounds for corrosion. That said 12.4 is on the low side. You can certainly try a trickle charger, but that tends to mask a failing battery... then you’ll get stranded when you least expect it. Stock battery life is pretty short these days.Attach jump starter battery pack to battery- same results. I can't even jump start it?
