    V7 III No Start - No Anything

    Mine always powered up but wouldn’t start. Part of my trouble shooting was to run jumper cables from a known good regular lead acid battery (from our boat).

    V7 III No Start - No Anything

    Yes, I think so. It’s a pretty heavy gauge ground cable.

    V7 III No Start - No Anything

    Yes I solved it. The ground lug/cable on the back of the engine was loose. I removed the nut, wire brushed all mating surfaces and tightened the nut with Loctite. All that time I wasted and money spent replacing parts. It was a 5-minute fix.

    V7 Starter switch fail - No Power - Power Loss

    Check that the ground lug on the rear of the engine is tight. That was my problem on my 2017. Took me months to figure out and 5 minutes to fix.

    Modern "No Start" issue solution

    *solved* Found the loose ground lug on the gearcase. Really wish I found this last year before I bought a new starter, battery (returned), and relay.

    Modern "No Start" issue solution

    Bike has been starting fine since my last post. Today it rained while at work and the bike is back to click-no-start behavior. Will hose it down with Deoxit when my rescue arrives with the can. The dash is live, the N light is on. While holding the start button I can hear the relay clicking over...

    Moto Guzzi V7 850 E5 the dry clutch sounds funny in neutral

    ☝️Agree with preloading the shifter. Discovered this on my own. Shifts are noticeably much smoother and faster. I didn't know it had to do with European clutches, thought it was just removing backlash from the system.

    Former Japanese pop star rides a V7 III Racer.... and she does gymkhana too

    How long must she own this before she has a long grey beard and red suspenders? :D

    Modern "No Start" issue solution

    Got it started last night! Not sure if I'd claim victory yet though...because I'm not sure what was wrong or if/when it will reoccur. I did a bunch of starter tests: bench test, test on bike with jumper cables and external battery, etc. I noticed the wonky N light behavior stopped when I left...

    Modern "No Start" issue solution

    My 2017 V7III Racer is down for the count. Seems like "startus interrputus". Pushing the start button the first time I get a quick "chug" from the starter then, after that, only the relay under the tank clicks. I replaced the starter relay, tried different batteries, took apart and cleaned and...

    GTM V7 III Exhaust options & Dyno runs

    I bought a set of Stinger Megs for my Racer based mainly on this video. First ride today was amazing. I have 10,000 miles on the stock setup so I know it's characteristics well. I added the tune and SAS block-off too. It's like getting a new bike.

    You can add a cheap digital tach and hide it somewhere for about $25.
