The smell is not as strong as say a semi after a hard brake, but you wouldn't want to gather around the bike after it was parked. Both the brakes and the clutch seem fine. Brakes do not seem to be grabby. No problems stopping. Don't seem week, or anything unusual. Shifting seems fine, a little clunky, but my understanding is that all Guzzis are a |
