    Do ya go camping and riding in the WET?

I'm back down in Texas now...

    New 2022 V7 Stone Alignment Issues

    So! Finally got to the bottom of everything. Tech at the shop had it running on the dyno to weed out any potential frame/wheel misalignment. After checking everything over and taking measurements from fixed points on the frame & suspension found that the OEM rubber mounted bar risers were the...

    New 2022 V7 Stone Alignment Issues

    I very well may be.. I do have a tendency to over analyze things.. I'm just to the point where I am thoroughly confused, seeing as my buddies V7 does not have this lean sensation. My old V7 never did this. I digress, I'll let you know what happens

    Thanks John! Nothing serious to worry about? Made me kinda nervous thinking about the lubrication system getting gummed up or something : /

    New 2022 V7 Stone Alignment Issues

    Update on these shenanigans- Had one of the techs ride along with me last week and recorded our trip on a go pro. I could feel and see the lean while riding along but he could not. We sat down and watched the footage afterward to see if it was noticeable from his perspective and we both agreed...

    Water/Moisture In Engine Oil

    Hey gents! Checking over my bike after a rather wet ride this morning and noticed while looking at my oil level I have some white residue inside the sight glass... I ride in all types of weather, rain or shine and never noticed anything like this before. Is this normal or possible...

    New 2022 V7 Stone Alignment Issues

    Hey DeadEye, I dig your idea as well. Going to chat with the tech about trying this as well if they have the time while I'm there. Probably get them to pop on a gopro so we can get some footage for comparison

    New 2022 V7 Stone Alignment Issues

    John, I am not tooled up to check this at my house. I will be returning to the shop in a few weeks to get different tires mounted and will have them check while its there. I have mentioned the alignment to them twice now and they have yet to put it on the stand to actually check it..

    New 2022 V7 Stone Alignment Issues

    Update on this- Returned to AF1 and spoke with the tech and service manager who were both great to work with, explained everything to them and had the tech ride the bike. He was unable to reproduce the lean that occurs when I'm operating the bike, but we did discuss the fact the my tires are...
