Owner reports filed with NHTSA, as written (personal details removed). Complaints are not verified by NHTSA.

Engine · reported Oct 10, 2023

The motorcycle was started and was idling in neutral, on the side stand. The rpm suddenly increased to red line with no rider input. Not on the motorcycle at the time. This motorcycle has semi ride by wire throttle system. Two cables go from the accelerator grip to an electronics box. This would obviously be a serious safety condition if it occurs while being operated.

Wheels · at 4,500 miles · reported Oct 20, 2018

My 2016 moto guzzi eldorado has bare aluminum spoked wheels, these are tubeless tire wheels, the spoke nipples are sealed with o rings at each spoke hole, the bare aluminum rims corrode quickly and I have waxed and polished the wheels more than a few times to try to keep the finish but its not working. At anyrate the spokes on both of my wheels are leaking at the spokes and at the valve stem body where it meets the rim, and the leaks are getting worse. The other 1400 model bikes moto guzzi makes are cast wheels with a painted finish on them and these dont have spokes like the eldorado wheels…
