    Throttle Position Sensor reset w/GTM Flash Tool

    If you're confused about how to go about resetting your throttle position sensor: Set up your Flash Tool. Click on Diagnostics, then click on My Bike, then Throttle Position. The Flash Tool will prompt you to turn on the key at the proper time and shut it off at the proper time. It all happens...

    Final Drive Oil Swap - Breather Hole (V7 I Classic)

    Hold your bike level, or get someone to hold it level, once you get the level plug out, and let the excess gear oil dribble out of the hole. I have found that 170cc is a little too much oil, despite what the manual says, and many V7s want to leak gear oil onto the tire and rim. If you clean the...

    V7 ii basic maintenance?

    DirtieGirlie, you have a V7, and so do I. Your gearbox, the thing right behind your engine, holds a quart of gear oil, Use 85w-90 or as close to that as you can find. The final drive, the pineapple in the middle of the rear wheel, which Guzzi calls a "transmission," uses 85w-140, and the...

    Throttle Position Sensor reset w/GTM Flash Tool

    I'm gonna say, every so often. Maybe every couple of months. It's so easy that there's no reason not to do it. Seat off, right side battery cover off, cap off the input block clipped to the back of the airbox. I put Flash Tool on the tool tray, clip the appropriate plug to the input block (I...

    Throttle Position Sensor reset w/GTM Flash Tool

    I've just reset the throttle position sensor on my single throttle body V7 with the GTM Flash Tool. I've done it three or four times now. It's easy; Takes me ten minutes. If I didn't have the GTM Tool, my bike wouldn't run nearly as well as it does - and I'd have had to pay my local dealer, and...

    Final drive leak thread

    Skyshark, just to clarify what Vagrant said; if you drain the final drive, the dealer won't have proof that it was overfilled or wasn't overfilled. The dealer can deny that there's a problem. If you take the bike to the dealer and ask them to drain the final drive into a measuring cup and it is...

    Final drive leak thread

    Skyshark, Vagrant may be correct. Do what you think is right. If your dealer is close, visit your dealer and show him the gear oil on the side of your tire. See what the mechanic says. I trust Vagrant in these matters...

    Final drive leak thread

    Yes, Skyshark, that's the leak. First, have you just changed the final drive oil? And did you add the 170cc that the manual calls for? The first thing to do is to clean the side of the tire with diluted Simple Green. Then remove the breather cap from the top of the final drive and make sure you...

    Final drive leak thread

    They don't drain fully, do they? So you put 170cc of gear oil in there and now there's 190! The leaked oil is not coming from the breather and not from the level plug. I don't THINK it's coming from the drain plug. I used a new "o-ring washer." I had the wheel off just a couple of weeks ago and...

    Final drive leak thread

    I have a V7 Special, first version. The final drive has been leaking for a few months, not terrible, just a few drops on the right side of the rim and on the sidewall of the tire. It has stopped leaking, or almost completely stopped, after leaking out a few cc five or six times. It has been...
