    Flat spot on V7 Racer?

    These small blocks like high revving. With my V7C I usually do not shift into 2nd until the revs are 3000+. And then try to keep the revs in all gears above 2nd in the 4000-5000 RPM range. 8000 is about tops. Bill

    V7C Evap Canister

    My 09 V7C is bone stock except for the smaller crossover pipe. I had mine de-canned at about 1200 miles and the throttle response was an immediate improvement as well as it became easier to start. I now have 20,000 miles of smiles on my bike and it runs great without any add power boosters...

    Kuryakyn Saddlebags

    I have been using a sheep skin pad and it is not bad. but need to get the seat re-done, even the cafe seat can be a pain in the butt after 100 miles. People don't know what great pack mules we have in our V7's. This is my share of my son's load after he broke down on a trip we were on :lol:

    Sorry late for the responce. The brackets that I got were bend modifies by my son :lol: There are threaded holes in the brackets so the bags mount very solid. They have been on about a year and no problems.

    Calliper holding plate to swingarm retainer

    At around 17000 miles I heard a scraping noise from the rear( am very hard of hearing), and found the break pads totally gone and it cost me $350.00 for a new rotor(made out of gold) :shock: Also there is a V7C at Moto-Nexus in Hendersonville NC with a broken swing arm (broke on the right side).

    V7C Electrical Question

    If anyone else has to replace the ignition switch on their V7C, for an additional cost of 15 dollars over the cost of the switch, MG sends a new gas cap and seat lock to work with the new key :D :woohoo: no taking the gas cap apart to put in new lock. :D

    V7C Electrical Question

    I think you are on the right track. Moved wheel left and wiggled the wire going into ignition switch, and nothing happened. Moved the wheel to the right again and nothing no lights this time and can't get them to come on. So I believe that it is in the ignition switch as I guess you surmised...

    V7C Electrical Question

    Question short and simple. When the front wheel is turned to the right of center the bike cycles through and starts. When wheel is turned to the left the bike shuts off. Where would the short, be found.? No fun counter steering a tight right hand sweeper and the bike shuts off :shock: :o Bill

    V7 Classic 2009-2012 question

    The main purpose of changing the crossover pipe is it makes it easier to get to the transmission drain plug when it comes time to change oil. Second it removes another muffler from the system improving exhaust note and improving throttle response. I went with the stucchi luigi crossover. As for...
