Advisory: '03 Cam Failures

[al_roethlisberger]

It's too early to tell the extent of this problem, or which bikes it may specifically affect as it sounds like only a few people(on the Wildguzzi list) have actually made a warantee claim, or are experiencing symptoms... but here is a head's up :!:

 

Posted on the Wildguzzi list:

 

Cam Failures on '03 EV/California's

 

 

It's also too early to tell if this is specifically a cam failure issue, or is somehow related to the new hydraulic lifters in the '03 cruiser lineup.... So far the only bikes reporting this problem are EV/Cali's.

 

But just an FYI... since AFAIK, all the V11 Naked/LeMans do not have they hydraulic lifters, this may not be an issue. However if it is actually a cam QA issue, it may indeed be an issue for all '03 owners to keep a tab on, regardless of model

Boy the internet and its fast way of communicating really gets out all the problems!

 

From what I see, it looks like a few (very few) EV's have a couple of bad cams.

 

Has anyone in any other country reported the same problem?

 

Does Guzzi make the cams in house or farmed out?

 

Hey, that's why warranties were invented.

The production of engine with PI have been stopped during several month.

This can affect PI engine since first of them.

 

This trouble of cam have been solved since few , they were several problems.

i have somewhere all the reasons of cam trouble, i could search for it , if you want.

 

First troubles have been known in France at least since start of last winter on the Calif PI.
