Cal Vin's on the block

[Groover]

There were a couple small improvements on the '09-'10 models.  Stronger saddlebag hinges, stronger tail light bracket, and chromed valve covers and a couple other bits.

My passenger was quite happy with a GIVI topcase with backrest pad.  NO factory back rest available.

I used Mobil 20/50 synthetic (V Twin) oil since new with no issues, even in hot weather.

Unfortunately, TUBED tires on all years.

Thank you.

Hi, Janusz.

Glad to hear you are excited about getting into your Guzzis personally.  Once you get the hang of it, you'll find this very liberating!

Just FYI, I have used Guzzidiag fairly extensively.  If you want someone to go through it with you the first time, i'd be happy to assist.

Cheers,
Shaun

I definitely do, much appreciated. Wonder if there is a way to backup existing mapping before putting a new one in.

Question: will this bulb https://goo.gl/sE7k7M fit 2009 CalVin fog lights?

Thanks you!

Yes, you definitely can (and should!) back up the original map. 

Sorry, not sure on he bulbs as I have not done this before.

Cheers,

Is there a map for a stock '02 EV?

Thank you all for posting great tips. I will pick up my new (to me) 2009 CalVin tomorrow evening and first thing I will do is to downgrade fog light to 35W and remap the ECU (thanks Antmanbee for instructions). Already place order on eBay for both connectors.

It was great to meet you today Janusz (and Shaun, Luca, Phil et.al.).  Thank you very much for trusting me with your delicious bike for a short ride. It really is excellent.

Safe and Happy Riding.

It was my pleasure to shake you hand Nick. I admire your bike very much, couldn't resist the thought 'if this bike could talk Nick would have a serious competition when writing his trip reports' I'm looking forward to the ride you are going to lead next spring.

Cheers,
Janusz
