    V100 gearbox 'Too much loctite'

    Thanks for all the replies. This is my third Guzzi so I knew about calculated gear indication but as has been pointed out the V100 has a real switch. My 'Too Much Loctite' comment was because the fault I am experiencing was mentioned in another forum and apparently Piaggio themselves had...

    V100 gearbox 'Too much loctite'

    My V100S now has 3,500 km on it and has developed a strange gearbox behaviour. When cold it will engage neutral but not the neutral light. As the bike warms up this behaviour recedes to be replaced by the gear indicators becoming confused. I have been told that some gearboxes had been assembled...

    TPMS Issues

    Well ever since my V7 dumped me in France with a dead battery at 6 months I have used a blue tooth battery monitor. My V85 cranks at no less than 11.5 but my V100 drops to 9. I changed the battery at 6 weeks under warranty and now better...still drops to 10.5 but no more error signals. Search on...

    TPMS Issues

    Aye, of course I do two actually one in the pump I carry and one normal pop up type. What I was writing about is that now I have to ride with a sodding big red warning on my dash because the MG TPMS seems to think pressure goes down as temperature goes up

    TPMS Issues

    Hi...I took have issues with the TPMS but not the same as yours. Mine takes about 5 minutes to link always reads a little low but then the indication of pressure decreases as the tyres warm up, eventually triggering the low pressure alarm. In fact, of course, the pressure is going up as checked...

    V100 Error Messages

    Hello...I have just taken delivery of a V100S, trading in my V7iii in the process but keeping my V85. It is a complex machine and I expected teething problems and I have them so I thought I would start a thread for error messages and what caused them. SO I have the 'Alarm Service', no other...

    Pinking/Pinging/Detonation

    Well thank you all. I now know much more than I did and it is clear how I should proceed. May I add two things? Firstly I now find out there was a valve recall on the V85, was this very limited as I can find out almost nothing about it. Secondly I have read the errors on the ECU and I have two...

    Thanks! By starting fluid you mean the ketone stuff that is often used to help old diesel engines start?

    Pinking/Pinging/Detonation

    Thanks for the replies. As to oil, I have just completed a three week trip to Albania and monitored the oil level all the time so the answer is 300ml in 5,500 km. I can only get 5% ethanol, 95 or 98 RON. When travelling sometimes 100 RON. The detonation was before and after new plugs. The...

    Pinking/Pinging/Detonation

    Hello. I have a 2020 E4 V85 now with 18000 km and it has started pinging. The 'nuts rattling in a can' noise happens at 3200 to 4500 rpm when opening the throttle under load. I know that the bike runs better at 4000 rpm but I never had this problem before and I wonder if it is indicative of a...

    Moto Guzzi Customer Service

    Help! Does anybody have a working telephone number into MG or indeed Piaggio customer service in Italy? My bike, a V7iii, 7 months old has now been off the road with a charging fault for 8 weeks. It really is not the dealer's fault they have to follow MG/P warranty procedure and the guy...

    V85 Oil Consumption

    T Thanks. I understand that....though mystified why such a simple thing as oil level and how to read the dip stick is such a drama for Moto Guzzi! I will look at the air box but the guy who owns it is very experienced so I doubt this is the issue.

    V85 Oil Consumption

    I am looking to buy a second hand V85, a euro 4 I think since I test rode a euro 5 and found the bike very jerky in the closed loop part of its map. I am in Spain so not too much choice around. I have found one candidate but the owner complained on social media (obviously not to me a...
