    V7 Racer Horn Puzzle

    Robert, I'm curious, were yours plug-and-play, or did you have to add a relay and extra wiring?

    V7 III - Has arrived

    I'm likin' those valve covers with the bolt-on plug covers (I assume). Are they retro-fittable to a V7S with the cheesy plastic plug covers?

    Moto Guzzi Proud Owners Group

    My favourite part of that sign-up page is the "are you an owner" question, with reply choices of No and Si. The whole rest of the page is in English. Haven't quite figured out if it's an attempt to look cool, by using one small Italian word. (And no, I haven't signed up).

    Goodbye to Guzzi

    I've often wondered why it is that Guzzi owners on online forums often imply or speculate that problems owners experience with new Guzzis is somehow their fault, or exaggerated. It's pretty obvious to me that Moto Guzzi has a QC problem, both at the factory and in its dealerships. I've owned...

    V7 Charging issues / Dead battery -- PLEASE READ

    My view, as someone pretty much ignorant of the ins and outs of battery charging and RR tech, is that replacing the RR with one whose specs 'seem' more in line with most other motorcycles and batteries is cheap insurance. I think of it this way: if I make $50/hr and I waste two hours of my time...

    Speedo Inaccuracy Fix

    Have a look at 12oclocklabs speedoDRD. They don't list a plug'n play solution for that specific bike, but they do have a 'universal' model. I have a plug'n play from them on my enduro that works well. Mostly to correct a gearing change (larger rear sprocket), but also a small speedo error. The...

    Posting Policy and Banning

    Todd, I've had nothing but good interactions with you. I've only ordered a couple of things, but both arrived in the amount of time I'd expect in such transactions. I wonder if it would help you a bit if you posted in your "welcome' message for your store the bit above about being a one-person...

    New V7 II Stone POS

    I'm 66 years old and have owned motorcycles since I was 14, more than I can count or remember. I have 4 in the garage right now, representing 3 different countries of origin. Aside from 2 lovely Brit bikes in the 70's with electrics by the Prince of Darkness and oil seals made of cottage cheese...

    New V7 II Stone POS

    One in 'several' is not a particularly great ratio when it comes to reliability. I've had a V7S for 2 years. The top bolt on one rear shock fell out on the 120 km ride home from the dealer the day I bought it. This is from one of the 'good' dealers. About 5,000 km and a couple of months in, a...

    How to make people aware of our online Store?

    If they're like me (which I suspect lots of people are) readers often start on a bookmark to "New Posts", I think I've seen the Main Page once at best. Perhaps adding that products info, including sales items, to the bottom of the New Posts page would help.

    V7 Charging issues / Dead battery -- PLEASE READ

    Something as simple as the replacement fuse not fully inserted the first time?

    V7 Charging issues / Dead battery -- PLEASE READ

    I should add that with the battery fully charged and the bike off, a meter reads 13.05V, which is probably acceptable. All of my measurements were take at fairly cold ambient temps (around 3-4C), which probably also has an effect. I'll retry this in spring when temps are closer to 20C.

    V7 Charging issues / Dead battery -- PLEASE READ

    I just checked my 2014 V7S (with a Centurian), and it shows 12.1V when the bike isn't running (as one would expect), and 15.3V at idle and also at 3,000 rpm. Which would seem to put it into the bad category. I've emailed my dealer and I'll post anything I find out from him here. Last few times...

    Tom Tom Gps, maximum speed recording.

    I'm unfamiliar with Tom-Tom units, but I suspect that if you're logging your track (or whatever terminology it's called for your GPS) then it's pretty trivial to show exactly what speed you're travelling at any location within at least a hundred meters or so. The track log consists of data...

    V7 Conversion to Long Distance Scrambler. Advice needed please.

    At 66, I'm a mere child by comparison, but I had my seat custom rebuilt right after I bought it a couple of years ago. Original cover, new waterproof 'undercover' between the cover and the foam, a layer of better foam, a divot for my aging, umm, prostate, some flattening where I sit, and some...

    Ontario or Canadian resources for Parts and Accessories

    Just to avoid confusion, Twisted Throttle (formerly A Vicious Cycle) is in New Dundee, which is almost due south of where I live in Kitchener-Waterloo, not west.
