Headlight day/night modes Cali 1400
« on: July 30, 2015, 06:12:25 PM »
I'll bet there a few Cali 1400 owners out there who don't know about the running light option they have. On the front of the right grip is a switch that allows you to turn off the headlight for daytime operation. When you do this, the eight LEDs that flank the headlight go from ornamental to super bright, operating as your daytime running lights. They're pretty good -- give 'em a try.

Thanks!  Yes, I noticed that on my Eldorado- my friend says it is way more visible than the normal light during the day.  Guzzi is really doing some cool stuff nowadays.

I have had two people tell me they were to bright and annoying in the rear view.  I find it hard to believe though.

Funny, I only found that switch recently after owning the bike for nearly two years. Note that turning it on disables the fog lamps, if you have them.

If it's annoying to others, that means you're visible. And in motorcycling, that's the best thing you can hear.
