Recently there was a post about a Guzzi 1400 model "dropping the valves" and damaging the engine.
I wasn't too impressed with the low speed running , both my carbureted bikes run smoother down low . Any personal experiences would be much appreciated .Thanks again for all inputs and hopefully more to come . Peter
Personally I'm not into the 1400 bikes so much, but of them all, the Eldorado is the one that works for me; very classic lines, and the wheels make it the best handling of the bunch, if it was well tuned and set up, I'm sure it would be a very nice motorcycle. I'm glad it's your decision and not mine, I've seen 2 major deals on beautiful Eldorados go by that I shed a tear every time I think of them,lol. Good luck with it Kelly
So the road test went well . I wasn't too impressed with the low speed running , both my carbureted bikes run smoother down low .I've read that the "Booster plug" improves this . Any personal experiences would be much appreciated . Highway performance is ratheramazingly smooth and plenty of power . Thanks again for all inputs and hopefully more to come . Peter
Make sure it is in VELOCE mode! No problems then. I LOVE my 1400 Eldo.
This is in fact the first fuel injected Moto-Guzzi I've ridden , but as an m/c mechanic for quite some time I've riddencountless other fuel injected bikes , none exhibited this rough a low rpm running . The bike is brand new from a dealership and I'd hope it is setup as well as it should be (wanting to sell it and all :) ) PeterThanks again for all your remarks .
I believe the roughness at idle is intentional.
