One Year Ownership Report - '08 1200 Sport
willowstreetguzziguy:
Yes I have the helmet cable & post under the seat but many times I'm carrying a seat bag bungied to the seat for carrying stuff and it's inconvenient to get under the seat. Instead, I have my own small lock and cable that I use.
As far as the Fiamm horns, I've had them on my K75's since 1986 and they never fail to get drivers attention. I plan on getting a pair by spring.
The exhaust popping... I need to schedule a spring servicing and I will have that looked into.
Had I not been able achieve the additional 2.5" of leg room, I doubt I would have kept the Guzzi. It was that painful! In fact, in order to ride it home from Oklahoma, a three day ride, I had to sit on top of my duct taped rain suit to get the added leg room.

It's not going away...
Triple Jim:
Just curious... is this a distinct popping like a small backfire, or a bla-bla-poof-bla like my old Mille does?
dlapierre:
You should be able to set up the gear indicator by going through the various screen setting that are available. I can do it on mine. I've just never bothered. Check the manual.
Mile High Guzzi:
Re 1200 Sport, I really like mine, good all around bike. Re Decel Popping. I have the full GuzziTech air/fuel/exhaust treatment on mine (which includes the Dynojet PCV w autotune), and I still get closed throttle popping. Even if there is a way to tune it out of the map, I'm not literate enough to know what parameters need changed ::). But, interestingly, I do notice that the colder the ambient temperature, the less popping, and in cold winter riding, no popping at all. So that would seem to suggest that the popping is caused by too much fuel vs air, but in the winter, there is more thicker air to burn the excess fuel and it doesn't pop......is that the way it works?
