Welcome Doc
hey,...these bikes are easy to work on, don't freak,...they are basic, all the
hi tec stuff developed for the new sport bike don't apply...if you can fix a lawnmower you can fix your bike, now...the local guzzi dealer (duc and aprilia
also) is terrible, they're running a boutique not a bike shop...so after my fallout
i talked to my buddies who race gixxer's at cmra, also a 998 (which got wrecked so bad it's still not back at a 100%)
...well, Keith the mechanic have never seen a Guzzi before, the dude could figure everything out within an afternoon, (can't say that for his friends Montauk beemer), so screw the dealer i service my guzzi at Team Anvil's garage...
don't need to make an appointment, i don't need to freak out about mark ups,...they set up my suspension, we go to do trackdays also...(weekends bef. the races) and so on,
it helps that i knew the guys before, of course...so, to make a long story short,
if something goes wrong it can be figured out and fixed, just like that...any mechanic can figure your bike out,...
so far nothing has gone wrong with mine, nothing.. and i give it hell (in a nice way of course)
just relax and enjoy (remember, if you pamper this bikes, they break down)
