    V7 820cc 2V Big Bore Kit '09-16

    I'll try my best to keep the rpms low and not do any crazy revs or accelerations for some time yeah. I went for a short first ride yesterday and it was perfect. As many have said here earlier : it change the bike to another one, it reacts and sounds so different. Also it is not that easy to...

    V7 820cc 2V Big Bore Kit '09-16

    She is alive. I did the first start this evening. I didnt go for a ride yet. Im very happy and also very proud i managed to change them "myself". I would say that the job was quite the adventure. After the first cylinder / piston the second one was already much easier. Lets see what happens at...

    V7 820cc 2V Big Bore Kit '09-16

    I am almost done with the right side. And suddenly I have cold shivers of fear. I didn't check the piston orientation. Please GTM tell me the piston is perfectly symmetric and there is no side for it ?:sweating: Bonus : if there is a side : is there a way from the top (with the upper cylinder...

    My 3d printed tool works like a charm. It won't last hundreds of clips but will do the job for a dozen of them at least. I'll share the .obj file soon. I don't think GTM sells that tool on his store so I suppose it is ok I share it here ?

    V7 820cc 2V Big Bore Kit '09-16

    thanks Bisbonian :) Yesterday evening I remembered that we had a 3d printer at work. So I'm doing prototypes for a very very simple clip insertion tool. I'm ok to share the .obj in case GTM wants to do small prints to give with the Kit. The tool is very basic and probably won't last for 232441...

    V7 820cc 2V Big Bore Kit '09-16

    "Shipping: Does not ship to Finland" :c The only store in Finland that sell a somewhat similar tool it is 130euros hahahha. The link of the tool on Ebay says size 18mm. I suppose that is the right size for the MG piston ?

    V7 820cc 2V Big Bore Kit '09-16

    Related but slightly off topic : those C clips to "hold" the piston pin... If I knew how difficult those are to put on I think I wouldn't have started this project myself but gladly asked a garage to do that for me. Just because of those damn clips. I tried a whole sunday to put one in but no...

    v7 ii 2016 oil leak at the bottom of the cylinder and oil leak on the cylinder head tube

    Ok I'll do that. Yes exactly. Probability makes me believe it is the alternator cover (as many many ppl seem to have that issue). But the leak aspect make me think it could be the cylinders. I cleaned it the best I could. There is no leak when the motor doesn't run at least. I need to go for a...

    v7 ii 2016 oil leak at the bottom of the cylinder and oil leak on the cylinder head tube

    Could it be some oil pressure release valve that is stuffy and the oil try to find another way to release the pressure ?

    I start to think the leak A is actually coming from the alternator cover like in the linked thread...

    v7 ii 2016 oil leak at the bottom of the cylinder and oil leak on the cylinder head tube

    Yeah I know it won't be an easy fix but that's ok. It is true that I'm kind of hesitant between doing it myself and sending the bike to a garage. I don't have experience with motorcycle motors but I'm used to repair all sort of things. I have good set of tools (dynamometric ones and so on), the...

    v7 ii 2016 oil leak at the bottom of the cylinder and oil leak on the cylinder head tube

    And bonus question : what is the best way to clean that mess ? Can I use some dishwashing soap there (as that is pretty good for oily stuff)

    v7 ii 2016 oil leak at the bottom of the cylinder and oil leak on the cylinder head tube

    Hello. I have two oil leaks. Leak A is on the bottom of the cylinder. And leak B is somewhere on the tube that goes into the left cylinder head. Leak A : I'm not sure about the origin of the leak. Could it be the cylinder gasket that is leaking ? If that is the case I need to change the...

    disable only rear abs on v7ii

    Hello. Have someone tried to disable the rear ABS sensor with a switch ? (or some other method to disable the rear abs). With the fuse out both front and rear ABS are disabled (obviously) but I would like to occasionally disable the rear abs (mostly for some off road stuff) but keep the front...

    Replacing the Throttle control by aftermarket one

    Thank you for your answers. My bad I didn't specify the model (I thought it was specified somewhere under the profile pic). So it is for a V7 II 2016. It is indeed a two cable throttle control. What I'm looking for is exactly what Dale Descrescenzo posted (thank you). You are right when you...

    Replacing the Throttle control by aftermarket one

    Hello. I'm planning to replace all the commands by aftermarket ones. (mostly for esthetic reasons). I'm looking for the thinnest throttle control possible. In black. I just want the throttle not the blinker / starter switches and so on. Domino do have some but I was wondering if somebody here...

    So what touches down first?

    Relatively short lean. I know it's not a sport bike but still. It even feel quite dangerous as if I come too hot in a corner I won't be able to lean more to save my ass. My question about what could I do about it was not much about the tires but if that kickstand can be moved out of the way...

    So what touches down first?

    Upping this thread. My kickstand scrap the ground even at low angles (GPS with angle indication says I touched at 22° !). Is there anything I could do about it ?
