    V100 Error Messages

    Hello...I have just taken delivery of a V100S, trading in my V7iii in the process but keeping my V85. It is a complex machine and I expected teething problems and I have them so I thought I would start a thread for error messages and what caused them. SO I have the 'Alarm Service', no other...

    Pinking/Pinging/Detonation

    Well thank you all. I now know much more than I did and it is clear how I should proceed. May I add two things? Firstly I now find out there was a valve recall on the V85, was this very limited as I can find out almost nothing about it. Secondly I have read the errors on the ECU and I have two...

    Pinking/Pinging/Detonation

    Thanks for the replies. As to oil, I have just completed a three week trip to Albania and monitored the oil level all the time so the answer is 300ml in 5,500 km. I can only get 5% ethanol, 95 or 98 RON. When travelling sometimes 100 RON. The detonation was before and after new plugs. The...

    Pinking/Pinging/Detonation

    Hello. I have a 2020 E4 V85 now with 18000 km and it has started pinging. The 'nuts rattling in a can' noise happens at 3200 to 4500 rpm when opening the throttle under load. I know that the bike runs better at 4000 rpm but I never had this problem before and I wonder if it is indicative of a...

    Hello. V7iii owner here who has just bought a V85TT, 2019 with only 3000 km on it. Driving back through the hills in Spain I noticed a very audible 'click' on deceleration. I thought 'Backlash' anybody else hear something like this? I will be checking fluid levels later today but I would be...

    Moto Guzzi Customer Service

    Help! Does anybody have a working telephone number into MG or indeed Piaggio customer service in Italy? My bike, a V7iii, 7 months old has now been off the road with a charging fault for 8 weeks. It really is not the dealer's fault they have to follow MG/P warranty procedure and the guy...

    V85 Oil Consumption

    T Thanks. I understand that....though mystified why such a simple thing as oil level and how to read the dip stick is such a drama for Moto Guzzi! I will look at the air box but the guy who owns it is very experienced so I doubt this is the issue.

    V85 Oil Consumption

    I am looking to buy a second hand V85, a euro 4 I think since I test rode a euro 5 and found the bike very jerky in the closed loop part of its map. I am in Spain so not too much choice around. I have found one candidate but the owner complained on social media (obviously not to me a...

    V7/9 Wet stator failure

    Hello! Thanks very much for this! I will do some research. May I ask: Is this a common failure?
  17. O

    Well, it was going so well.

    Yes. It is good that I found a dealer in Pamplona who helped me on my way. It got me home and it got me to the dealer who diagnosed it correctly. Apart from me being cross with MG for 'months for part' how do I stop it just happening again?

    V7/9 Wet stator failure

    Secondly my issue diagnosed as burnt out stator coils. Now the only accessory I have is a USB phone charger so I am left thinking that this is either (1) Crap component or (2) Crap design or (3) Crap luck. What I do have to add is that MG in Huelva is saying many weeks and maybe MONTHS until the...

    V7/9 Wet stator failure

    Very good! The indicator that is, very bad that the capacity of the charging system is almost nothing!

    V85 Questions

    There is advice on here to change the geometry of the V7 by dropping the forks a little to make the bike turn easier. I found the TT quicker in turns than the V7 hence my comment
