    GTM V7R-820 QuattroValvole Info & Dyno Runs

    Just studying the dyno chart some more. Looks like the 820cc bike made 58 RWHP. So it should go over 60hp after break in, no problem. Pretty cool that 60hp was the goal all along. I also noticed the torque curve on the 820cc bike peaks just perfectly from 4800 to 5000 rpm. That is the sweet...

    GTM V7R-820 QuattroValvole Info & Dyno Runs

    Man, that is an impressive achievement. A one of a kind V7. Congratulations on getting her up and running....60 rwhp is exactly what the V7 needs! That bike is a beast! Whew.... I did run mine as hard as I could, doing burnouts, going to the rev limiter in every gear, just really trying to...

    GTM ECU V7 & V9 Flash Tool

    Just thought I'd put in my .02 cents here. If you install the Mistrals and a K&N filter, your bike will run too lean. The stock Guzzi fuel map just will not be capable of adjusting for the increased airflow. It probably will not ruin your engine, but it will run poorly enough that you will...

    V7 II front brake conversion

    One thing I like about the later model V7 is the anti lock braking. It really does help me control the bike and be aggressive with the front brake. In fact, on the dirt road I live on, when I come up to my driveway to turn in, I just grab the front brake until the antilock pulses. It slows me...

    GTM ECU V7 & V9 Flash Tool

    I got my ECU flash tool the other day. Followed the instructions and downloaded the current map from my bike. Emailed it to Todd and had the replacement map back from him in about 15 minutes. Put the map on the ECU tool, plugged it into the bike, and downloaded it. The whole process was...

    Newbie...Gas Tank and Seat Change

    Corsa Italiana has the brown Racer seat in stock. They are in England. 223 Pounds. Not sure how much that is in Amurican....lol TLM has a new chrome tank on eBay for $1003. $40 shipping.

    Newbie...Gas Tank and Seat Change

    The tank is easy to swap. A vent line, a fuel line, and an electrical plug are the only connections that I can recall. You might check tank pricing from TLM in the Netherlands. Seems like they were a LOT less money than AF1. You can probably source the brown seat from them too. You might...

    V7 II front brake conversion

    Here are a couple of the new rotor and caliper. The rotor is almost twice as thick as the stock one. And the caliper is quite a bit bigger too. You can see where I had to peel back the rubber lining from the brake line to screw the new end on.

    V7 II front brake conversion

    When I got my V7II I was pretty much underwhelmed with the front brake performance. It seemed like I was always on the front brake as hard as I could squeeze it. I don't ride very aggressively really, it's just that the stock front brake sucks. Anyway, Todd has made available a matched set of...

    How hard is it to remove the rims on a V7 II?

    The front rim comes off pretty easily. The back one is more work. The chain around, or through the fork would be a better bet, in my opinion.

    V7 C-S Suspension Thread

    I installed my hybrid fork kit in the 2016 Racer today. Thought I would give a quick review. The kit is so much better than the stock forks, it is a night and day difference. The biggest thing I've noticed is that I am able to control the bike much better on rough roads, or while crossing...

    Opinions please. V7 or V7II

    Hi, welcome to the forum! I have a V7 Classic, and a V7II Racer. The Racer is a much better bike in my opinion. It has the steel tank, nicer wheels, better transmission. Not to mention the ABS and traction control. I would get the V7 II Special. Cheers!

    V7II Safety (?) Feature

    That is pretty cool. I did not know the traction control would do that. Good to know!

    V9 Opinions

    A Good review. Can't wait to get those hemi heads off of there and get some real performance out of the new mill. A 4V conversion will make that bike represent! Of course some V7II bodywork won't hurt either... And a good suspension....

    V7 820cc 2V Big Bore Kit '09-16

    Glad you finally have the bike you wanted! Nothing like a few extra cc's and a good fuel map to really wake up the V7's! Nice looking bike, enjoy it! Cheers.

    2012 V7 with 4V Heads

    Awesome news Todd! Looking forward to ride reports on both bikes!

    V7 C-S Suspension Thread

    Basically you need to decide what components you want, then let Todd know. He will ask you what your weight is, and have the suspension components matched to your weight. When you get your shocks/ fork kit/ or both, you can dial it in. I set my for the smoothest ride, and the sag worked out...

    V9 Opinions

    I personally don't care for the styling of either bike. I really tried, thought they would grow on me. I think the only way I can explain it, is that both versions of the V9 have strange proportions. At least that is what I see. I would at first glance think they are ok, but then it occurs...

    V9 Opinions

    Speaking of modifications, turning a V9 into a V7II look alike, It is kind of traditional with some of Guzzi's bikes. I like how this Lario turned out back in the day...

    Throttle Lag...

    Man, I hope they can get to the bottom of it soon! I hate that you took it in for the first service, and wound up with this problem. Hopefully it is a simple fix. A spark plug wire or loose connector. Appreciate your continued posts, best of luck on a successful resolution.
