Indicators.

Temp sensor.

General Comments:

As soon as I got this, I removed the tank, side panels, and seat to access the electrical loom. All connections (every one) were cleaned and filled with Vaseline. All Italian electrical problems arise from rubbish switch gear and connectors that are not sealed from the elements; once done I can honestly say the bike has never let me down.

Superb handling for a custom bike and an excellent tourer; this is dream world for a Harley!

I re-painted the cycle parts, but they started to rust again soon; stainless mudguards are the answer.

Other than mentioned, it’s a damn fine machine, albeit a bit agricultural.

Would you buy another motorcycle from this manufacturer? Yes

2002 Moto Guzzi California Sport Special

Summary:

Reliable, comfortable, and eye catching

Faults:

Diff seal.

General Comments:

Excellent bike. I never saw myself as the cruiser type, but won't look back now. I bought this bike from a bloke for peanuts, and my intention was to sell it on, but I changed my mind after 20 miles.

A lot rarer than Harleys, and stops when you want due to the massive brakes.
