- I bought a 2006 California Vintage back in 2018. To get her in a "as good as new or even better" state it took a lot of effort. This video shows almost everything I did for this.

Hi , ein ,,Meisterwerk" was du da vollbracht hast , könntest direkt bei ner Guzzi Werkstatt anfangen, die nehmen dich mit Kusshand - ich stehe kurz davor ,mir eine zu kaufen ( bj. 2008 ) aber ich habe weder solche Kenntnisse noch eine Garage 😢 hoffentlich wird es gutgehen- liebe Grüße aus Köln
😁 Lieber nicht, ich wäre zu pingelig/langsam und würe mich den ganzen Tag über Piaggio aufregen.
Ich bereue nicht, sie verkauft zu haben.
Cruiser/Chopper sind doch nicht mein Ding und sie ist wirklich schwer.
Danke für die Komplimente.
Hi Janguzzi. Congratulations on a great restoration. I purchased my 2006 Vintage new in September 2008. My first Guzzi. Lost the diff oil on the way home from the dealership thanks to a missing O ring and the steering dampener lasted a couple of weeks before loosing its oil. There were various other little nigglers over the years which tested my patience. I've just clocked 40000km so checked the valve clearances and greased the bevel gears. My Tacho has given up, apparently a common fault, and so far the only NOS one l can find is in the UK and will set me back AU$500. I also have damage to the left silencer from the centre stand but have ignored it. I purchased a 'piggy back' set up for my ECU from Tom at Guzzi Tech together with a K&N air filter, holes drilled in the top of the air box, derestricted mufflers and a dyno session. Much better ride. I hope you have many years of great touring on the Vintage :)
She is up for sale ;-) ... otherwise, yes she is now fit for the future.
@@janguzzi If it was in the USA I could not resist. You made a beautiful bike into a piece of art. Incredible attention to detail. Well done.
Wow - Thanks Michael
Gorgeous! I just picked up an 07 in need of this kind of love

Gratulation!
Wirklich besser als neu. Aus dieser Ölwanne würde ich sogar meine Suppe löffeln. Hab mir zumindest schon mal ein paar Lappen zurechtgelegt, damit meine Cali 2 dagegen nicht gar so abfällt.
Hallo Janguzzi, eine wunderbare Arbeit und ein tolles Ergebnis. Ich hatte auch mal eine Vintage, auch ziemlich guter Zustand aber nicht so wie deine. Hatte des öfteren Probleme mit den Schlauchanschlüssen, Steckverbindern und Schlauchschellen. Hat drei Versuche benötigt bis es behoben war. Nochmals klasse Vintage. Schön anzuschauen.
Danke Helmut! Einige Schlauchschellen habe ich durch bessere ersetzt. Ich überprüfe grundsätzlich alle Steckverbindungen und dort wo der Konakt zu lasch ist bessere ich nach. Außerdem benutzte ich seit Ewigkeiten "Electrolube - 2GX Contact Treatment Grease" zum Schutz vor Feuchtigkeit.
Great work! I just wonder how someone (the previous owner?) would keep his/her Guzzi so badly and let it get to this condition?
I guess he was just driving ... and the built quality of the California Vintage is not top notch (e.g. the chrome).
Great job. Well done 👍🙂
I've been looking at a 2001 Jackal that's sat so long it no longer starts and runs. I think the fuel system is completely knackered. I'm in Alabama USA so just getting parts is an adventure in frustration. Before purchase I looked for the possiblity of obtaining the basic parts like a fuel pump, filter, and gasket to reinstall it all in the gas tank. Where available all are extremely expensive and take months to arrive. I considered switching to carburetor's but I'm afraid the computer is not going to allow that due to it's electronic ignition tied into the same computer running the fuel injection system. I suspect the cost, time, and effort has exceeded the value of the bike, sadly.
Maybe ask here for support? wildguzzi.com/forum/
I just took a long ride on my 2016 Eldorado. Recent purchase. The bike ran well until I got home. It would not start in gear only in neutral. Then when I put it in gear it dies. I hear a fan or pump sound as it is cooling. Any ideas what is wrong? Thanks
Sounds like the bike thinks the kickstand is down.
