When I saw the topic title Arctic Fox (she's a 22-year-old from Finland) with good intentions created I knew there would be trouble. Never read any posts and wisely the moderators have deleted the thread. It's truly sad this occurs. There's too few MG riders and we have better uses of our...
Oldman -- your point about 98 octane fuel is excellent. Ethanol is used to raise octane rating. A 95 octane fuel may very well be more V7-friendly than 98 octane.
Do you have yearly vehicle emission inspections?
oldman -- I have the same problem with my V7 III on the San Diego's streets. There are two causes. Primary is Traction Control System. Refer to your Owner Manual on how to adjust/disable it (you have to do it every time you turn the ignition on). Secondary is throttle cable slack. This is...
Todd -- I believe ring gap alignment is critical for most modern engines. Is this true for the MG V7. Do you have any guidance on gap alignment and positioning eg vis a vis crankshaft or exhaust port?

The print service I used no longer seems to be offering them.
I have all three printed manuals...
These are my current wiring plans. I will order the Deutsch connectors and ferrite chokes in a day or two.
MG BlueDash Connector 51 (Gray, 8-terminals, 5 populated)
1 -- Ignition-On via 15A Fuse B [Org]
2 -- Ground [Blu]
3 -- X4 CAN High Line [Pur]
4 -- X3 CAN Low Line [Gry]

I still don't have the finished design for everyone's consideration because I'm tired from modifying my V7 and of course it's taking longer than expected (just finished heated vest today along with non-wiring-taps harness for the smart brake module). Maybe I can finish tail section and put the...
I'm trying to trade my 2019 V7 III Stone in Rosso Rovente 3K miles towards a Can-Am Spyder F3, 2015 or later. Apparently the Can-Am Spyder market is active in SouthWest so no luck so far. I have an H&H handlebar fairing (used for EV) arriving shortly and if I can mount it maybe that's my San...
Apologies for delay responding. I just finished up installing the smart turn system which cancels turn signal operation based on motorcycle motion: https://www.amazon.com/Smart-Turn-System-automatic-cancelling/dp/B06XD71KSW. And tomorrow I'm finishing the smart brake module installation which...
Last year it was claimed an add-on tachometer required the ignition signal. I said the CANbus signal could also be used with Speedhut tachometers; speedhut.com/gauges/Tachometers/Freedom-CAN-Bus-(OBDII)-Gauges/?catid=f232|f9|f215
People disagreed so I offered to specify a tachometer...
LaGrasta -- I concur with JZ's recommendation -- individual connector for each wire, soldered and adhesive shrink-wrapped. I also recommend Honda's 08798-9001 grease for oxide protection and moisture blockage but this is controversial.
Connectors: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FCFH84Q...
"new turn signals" means bulbs only or complete assemblies? If complete assemblies, mounted in stock locations or new locations? If new locations, how will the stock locations be blocked off?
Anyway, I'm pretty sure if you remove the lens and then the reflector from the stock assembly, you...
The 2015 II tail and turn housings look identical to my 2019 III so spade connectors of various widths are used. A better approach is to replace the under-fender cable as I am doing (to add a brake flasher light). Check to see if the under-seat connector is a white 6-pin connector (5...
dd -- good analogy just like ABS only kicks in during braking. But to confirm find a icy road and report back. Just kidding. Same thing happens to me on San Diego's buckled asphalt. I just drive through it.
dd -- most fuel injected vehicles without drive-by-wire throttle (eg V7 III) control engine operation via various fuel limitation protocols. Older and simpler ECUs turn off all injectors at once which can upset the suspension. Newer and more capable ECUs turn off individual injectors as needed...
Sam -- thanks for posting your side cases from various perspectives. I purchased a used set of H&B 38L Xceed side cases with the intent to C-Bow mount them and was worried about how they would fit on my V7 III Stone. Your pictures really helped. While i have the C-Bow plastic mounts installed...
Mayakovski -- the Milwaukee Leather heated gloves can be powered by the lithium battery in the gauntlet or from your motorcycle via a Y-cable. I've only used the gauntlet batteries.
