Thank you to those who have replied. So far, there are four of us whose Mandellos pull to the left and four whose don't. There are about 200 other views of the thread. I'm going to assume that most of those are from people who don't have a Mandello, but there are probably some from people whose...
I agree with you and Scott that it was a surprising thing for the dealer to say about the SSS. Just interested to hear if any other V100 owners have experienced the same thing. I don't disagree about matching tyres, but didn't want to turn this into a tyre thread. I chose the Michelin, as I find...
Thanks for the reply, Todd. I wonder how I got it in my head that the Strada had 17 inch wheels. Must be getting old. I'm happy to withdraw the word plonk. I was using it for emphasis to contrast the simple action of just fitting a different size front wheel, with whatever other actions might be...
Last week, following a puncture, I had a new rear tyre fitted (Michelin Pilot Road 4). Riding home from the Guzzi dealer on a fast road, I felt the handlebars were vibrating more than before and wondered if the mechanic had not balanced the wheel properly. Then, I put the cruise control on and...
I'm interested in the new Strada version with 17 inch wheels. This V85 was presumably designed originally for a 19 inch front wheel, so can they just plonk a 17 in the front or are any other changes to geometry required?
My Pirelli Angel GT2 rear tyre has the A marked on it, denoting the version for heavy bikes. Did everyone's V100 come with this version or do some of you have the standard tyre? I'm wondering if the stiffer sidewall on the A version adds to the harsh feel of the rear suspension and am...
Tinted screens are standard on the Mandello here in Europe. I suppose it's all about regulations in different countries. The Aussies get the clear ones as standard as well.
Ready for winter. I've just fitted my old Barkbuster Blizzard semi-rigid bar muffs, as the factory heated grips don't get warm enough. I've had heated BMW grips and Oxford ones, both of which gave out more heat. The Barkbusters fit, but there's not much clearance between them and the windscreen...
Thank you to everyone for the information on this. Being a cheapskate, I decided to follow Jan's suggestion of relocating the USB connector from under the seat, rather than buy an additional unit.
That was complicated by the fact that I had to remove my Hepco & Becker luggage rack and panier...
It's good to know this, as I thought I read the USB port on the V100 supplied 1.5A, but that the Zumo XT needed to draw a higher amount. At the moment, I'm just using my Zumo on battery, but maybe I'll buy the USB connector for the cockpit. The one under the seat isn't very convenient for...
Hello Katie. I'll be interested to hear how you get on with the taller screen. I'm thinking of getting one for winter, more for the extra width, rather than height.
I've only had my Mandello for a couple of weeks and am still getting used to it. There is a lot of information on the TFT screen. Yesterday, I noticed there are TWO green Ns to indicate neutral. Anyone know why one isn't sufficient?
I haven't seen this discussed here before, but apologies if it...
Do good things come to those who wait? Well, I've just received my new V100 that I ordered in March, although I've been wanting one since the end of 2021, which is when I thought they were due to be launched. I've got the heated grips, the quickshifter, centre stand and engine bars on it...
I had a test ride on the base v100 this week and the suspension was the only disappointment, although I'm sure with time the settings can be adjusted to suit. The preload adjuster knob on the rear is handy, but I couldn't see how to adjust the damping on it.
