    2017 V7 III Check Engine Light

    If it’s the O2 sensor, speaking from experience, the light would go off after about 6-10 restart, and stay off until 3 months later. I had this issue before I did the ECU mapping with GT map tool.

    Bike won’t start

    Update: Suspecting that it is a battery issue, I read on some forums that Lithium batteries are not as great as lead acid in the cold. I run the Antigravity ATX-12HD. I noticed that the weaker starts occurred in colder temperature, around 40-45F (early morning / late evening). When I start the...

    Bike won’t start

    No - but will spray WD40/CRC around the switches to see if the problem occurs in the future.

    Bike won’t start

    Also I live by the ocean and my bike occassionally gets drenched in the rain (10-20 times a year during California rainy season). Maybe that accelerates the rust if there's any.

    Bike won’t start

    Hi, did you end up replacing the starter button and kill switch assembly? Maybe corrosion on the inside? I checked the voltage and ran the load test on the battery this morning, which showed a good reading of13.5V, and the battery works fine with the bike running or shut off. Terminals are...

    Bike won’t start

    Hi, I might have another starting issue. I went to grab dinner after work and was in there for about 10 minutes. When I came out, the bike would not start at first try: Key was in the ignition, all the dash lights came on as per normal, kickstand all the way up, clutch lever all the way in...

    Feedback on exhaust/muffler options for V7iii..?

    Feedback on exhaust/muffler options for V7iii..?

    Todd's GP Megs has been one of the best mods ever installed on the bike. It might be a bit loud for some people, personal preference aside, but I really like it. Traffic notices me and it puts a smile each time I open full throttle on the freeway. And when I had the centerstand installed last...

    H&B center stand vs original for V7iii

    I had the mechanic installed an original MG center stand on the 2017 V7III, equipped with the U.S. side stand and GP Megs mufflers. It fit with minor modification. According to the mechanic, the left rear centerstand bracket, which drops down in parallel to the exhaust bracket), originally had...

    2020 V7 III New Model Announcement

    Personal preference, I prefer this bike's color scheme a lot better and it is most likely the last one with the Ohlins. Can always change the headlight at a later date once it becomes available as OEM accessories. Here's the complete list:

    V7 loose fasteners

    Nope, you were right. All is good. The bolt came from the front end. What got me thinking was the inner thread was so clean and shiny. To sum this thread, keep an eye on: ALL exhaust nuts and bolts, from header to heat shield, etc Shift linkages Engine cover and starter motor, oil sump, etc...

    V7 loose fasteners

    Not wanting to start a new thread, but am I missing two bolts? It’s right in front of the evap can, behind the gear box / transmission drain bolt. Bike is a 2017 V7III. Thanks.

    V7III First Service

    So I am almost up for second maintenance interval. The manual calls for it at 6,200 miles, but it is easier for me to remember every 5,000-mile interval. So far, Engine oil - Motorex 10W60 - 2L Gearbox oil - Royal Purple 75W-90 - 0.5 L Final Drive oil - Royal Purple 85W-140 - 0.17 L Brake...

    Is this rust or something else on the pipe?

    Since I got the GP Megs, I just be extra careful before putting the kickstand down. When I use the heel of my boots to kick it down, I make sure its only at the edge of the ball-like thingy of the kickstand and away from the exhaust. Actually after the installation, Dave, the guy who works on...

    How to connect a phone charger ???

    Awesome! From my personal experience, just don't forget to unplug the charger SAE cable from the battery SAE cable and cap them when not in use. I had my first dead battery from that even though the USB charger was not drawing much power. I have used Quadlock for cellphone mount for the past...

    How to connect a phone charger ???

    I have a cellphone mount on the handlebar (Quadlock). My battery has a SAE cable connected (in case I want to plug it to battery tender). I bought a $10 motorcycle USB charger with SAE connector and SAE extension cable, that gets connected to the battery SAE if needed. Any other time, they get...

    GTM ECU V7 & V9 Flash Tool

    Yes... my only regret is having waited six months because the whole ECU reflash is pretty new to me and I’m afraid of screwing up my only daily driver. During that one hour test ride, I was smiling all the way as I squeezed the throttle. Wasn’t going very fast, but most fun!

    Evap removal from V7III

    I brought it to the mechanic today and had this completed. On the breather line from the gas tank to the Evap canister: the valve is removed / by-passed, so the line is straight and open. On the vacuum line from the Evap canister to the intake manifold: cut in the middle, jam a slug on the...

    GTM ECU V7 & V9 Flash Tool

    Done and done! GP Megs mufflers + ECU flash + Evap removal + SAS block Compared to stock, the Guzzi has a deep, throaty sound (GP Megs), more consistent pull across the entire rpm range until gear shift light comes on (ECU Flash), and once you complete SAS/Evap, it feels like the motor...

    2017 V7 III Check Engine Light

    My first two CEL came before I had Todd’s FT. I disconnected the battery for 10 minutes, started it and the CEL was still there. I continued to start/stop and rode around, and by the fourth time, the CEL went away for a couple of months before coming back. I believe its condensation in the O2...
