    Do V7iii’s have clutch delay valves?

    Pretty much as stated. I notice when shifting aggressively, there is a noticeable delay when the clutch is fully let out and when I feel the engine RPM decrease from being hooked back up to the transmission. It’s a small, but noticeable delay, enough that I’m a little confused because I figured...

    Hi everyone, first time posting in this forum. I’ve got a V7ii Stornello that I bought used last year and is my first motorcycle. Was out riding a couple weeks ago, and on the way home the clutch cable snapped (it was rubbing and fraying from the adjuster at the lever). I installed a new cable...

    Norge clutch engages at very end of lever travel

    Back at it again with another issue(maybe). My clutch lever will only engage within the last 1/2 inch or so of travel. the grab point seems to happen sooner(from full lever pull to fully out) after the engine and transmission warm up a bit. I know its a hydraulic clutch and there is no...

    2013 V7 Clutch Adjustment (again, sorry)

    Hi Chaps. The signs of poor clutch adjustment are present - absent neutrals, tricky box at stationary and an inclination to creep forwards. I'm hoping clutch adjustment (although the Nut is solid!) will improve these issues. But just a couple of questions - shouldn't the cable end fit into the...

    Length of Clutch cable/hose

    I put some taller bars on my Audace. I made it all work but would like to put a longer clutch hose on. It is the only thing that was slightly short. Another two inches would be perfect. Does anyone know if the hose on the on the Touring, Eldorado or MGX models are longer and if so by how...

    V7 Classic - Loud squeal following 9k mile service

    After my 2009 V7 Classic was serviced at a reputable Moto Guzzi dealership, I experienced a loud squeal on the ride home (approximately 20 minutes into the drive, and on surface streets) and immediately pulled over. The squeal went away when I pulled the clutch lever in, but it did continue...
