Did you re-gap your new spark plugs? The new plugs will have a gap of about .035 inch, while the spec is about .023 inches. If the ignition is trying to fire across a gap that is too large a problem will first appear at high load in the cylinders, as I said before. Sorry I didn't think to suggest the gap before. Probably you reset it.

Sometimes "after all rebates" means an up-front payment with a refund. Many of you have bought new Guzzis ( I have not), is their rebate off the sticker price or not?

I just got back to y’all with the OUT THE DOOR price…!

20 years ago, there was no Stelvio.  The Griso, Breva, and Norge were all essentially the same bike, I believe the Griso had a somewhat different frame, but I'm not sure.  The small blocks at the time, Nevada and Breva were essentially identical under their clothes, so I don't think it's quite what you remember, but for the Cali was still around.

I’m anxious to see what the next iteration of the California will be. After the 1400 going back to an 850, IMHO, would be a failure.

General Discussion / Re: Source for rebuilt PHF30 carbs? (Mille GT)

What can go wrong with them where they need "rebuilt"? ...unless someone was in there hacking things up. or water in the bowls, or you need external work like syncing/idle adjustment like Antietam Cycle said.

I guess the diametral difference between slide and carb-slide-bore can become sloppy; the accelerator pump ramp on the slide can become worn?

Can someone turn them into 32mm carbies by fitting new slides in bored-out bores, and opening up the air-flow passage to 32mm?

That's what happens when there's only four models to choose from and three are adventure bikes, and the only true road designed bike is only 850cc. Piaggio doesn't promote in the US, such a shame. Come to think of it, what motorcycle company does anymore.

Th V100 is true road bike.

If Haus of trikes N Bikes in Fort Myers, Florida quit selling  MG and Aprilia,  it wouldn't bother me one bit.   Its like the owners employe's dudes who couldn't get a job any where else in the motorcycle industry.   I go in to get oil and filter for my V85TT and all I see is 10/50 oil.   Parts manger is like thats what we use down here in florida.   I said owners manual calls for 10/60, but he dont care.
