    2023 Moto Guzzi V7 Stone Special Edition

    I already bought black titanium bolts for mirrors so time to change :D Those clear bolts bother me very much...for some reason 🤷‍♂️

    2023 Moto Guzzi V7 Stone Special Edition

    Forgot to say that I had ~6000km/3700miles on the clock when this happened. Yup, there is a vibration (especially between 3000-3900rpm) and the design of the mirrors ain`t best against the vibration. Did you check had they put loctite on the bolts in the factory ? Not a big deal but good to...

    2023 Moto Guzzi V7 Stone Special Edition

    Has anyone had problems with the stock mirrors ? I was doing two days touring trip (900km/559miles) and at one point when I started the bike, the left mirror just dropped below handlebar :D The bolt at the end of the handlebar had come to loose without warning. Either because of the vibrations...

    DB-Killer removal from '23 V7 Special Edition

    Nice work ! That is "stealth version" and probably not so loud as mine. Now that I have ridden more I have to revise my thoughts about UpMap. It clearly makes bike run better but it`s far from perfect. My problem is the vibration between 3000-3900rpm. With Upmap it`s better but I would say...

    Not yet. I will wait until driving season is over. Or if it keeps raining maybe I`ll do it some night.

    Hepco&Becker engine protection bar installation for V7 850

    I have used them in exhaust manifolds. But in that time they were always replaced if unscrewed. I was told they only work once and after you unscrew these the locking ability is gone.

    Hepco&Becker engine protection bar installation for V7 850

    Sorry but I don`t know the right words for these, but I think they are nuts that are "lock nuts" and don`t be affected by heat like nyloc nuts are. Anyway it`s strange that H&B doesn`t mention this. But after 1500km they are fine so tighten them by the feel and don`t use torque wrench. BTW. I...

    V7-850 Mods Thread

    V7 in typical finnish country side. Funny thing how the bike looks so shiny in the photo although it`s covered in dust after 400km ( ~250miles). So far; - Tank pads - Removed dB-killers/baffles from Arrows - UpMap - Hepco&Becker C-bow system and their "Orbit" side cases - Hepco&Becker rear rack...

    Hepco&Becker engine protection bar installation for V7 850

    Bolts where pretty "china quality" and and the same quality was in the rear rack and C-bow bracket set. Like you said We found the exactly same and now that I think this probably explains why the torque wrench clicked way too soon. Not sure but original nuts might be stainless steel and the...

    Front brake fluid level check

    Found this topic with google. I have V7 850 `23 and I don`t have a center stand. The explanation in the manual is very stange and I really didn`t figure out to which way I should turn the handlebar, but did I understand right; I can just sit on the bike to keep it upright, keep the handlebar...

    Hepco&Becker engine protection bar installation for V7 850

    These things seem to be pretty popular so I bought a set. Installation seemed pretty easy on the instructions and youtube videos but actually was really hard. I had a friend with me but still we had a hard time. First of all has the H&B quality gone down. In my set the part that comes between...

    DB-Killer removal from '23 V7 Special Edition

    I wouldn`t do it without correcting the fueling. Many people say that even stock bike runs much better with Upmap. After the Upmap (aftermarket exhaust without db-killers) it clearly runs better between 3000-4000rpm. Especially at ~3700rpm there was a huge gap where the bike vibrates a lot and...

    DB-Killer removal from '23 V7 Special Edition

    Sound is nice. I drove 120km (~75miles) without stopping and didn`t cause dizziness, feeling tired or anything so I would say it`s pretty good for touring also. I use Alpine Motosafe (touring) earplugs. Of course these are invidual things. I don` t believe it matters are the outlets as big as...

    DB-Killer removal from '23 V7 Special Edition

    Sorry @Antares80 but I can`t take better pictures than this. My endoscope picture quality would just tell you if there is a bird in silencer :D I don`t have good tools to measure the inner tube size, but Bahco hole saw with guide disc made pretty precise 37mm hole. After measuring it seems...

    DB-Killer removal from '23 V7 Special Edition

    Of course ! I will take pictures later but it`s pretty hard with phone and my endoscope has very low quality resolution, but I will try my best. The edge was very sharp after drilling but after smoothening it with dremel I can roll my finger around the edge without any cuts. I still don`t...

    DB-Killer removal from '23 V7 Special Edition

    ...is what it looks after the smoothing; Conclusion and about the sound; I would rather have wrote this after the test ride but it looks like the ******* rain is going to last until sunday (earlier they said it stops on friday). So all my opinions are based on running the bike in the garage...

    Turn signal swap on V7-850

    I found pretty good instructions and looks like pretty easy job after all. I was thinking that if those connectors are standard type I could find them in local parts shop, but I don`t have a clue are those standard and if they are, what`s the name of the connector ? I always try to keep wiring...

    Turn signal swap on V7-850

    I want to change the turn signals (both front & rear) but I don`t want to cut the original wires. What type connectors do I need to buy for turn signals ? In front the wires go under the dash ? How much I have disassemble to get there and is there connectors under ? Bike is V7 850 2023 Stone...
