Just got it firing!
Hi all. Just to say if you are the owner of a V7 Stone (Mark II) you may have been plagued by the bikes EU regulations which after 40-80 seconds after start up changes the mixture to a leaner variety and causes it to stall. This is fine if you can run the bike for a couple of minutes before you get on it but doesn't work for me as I am running a fairly loud non standard exhaust.
This issue is a pain and downright dangerous. My dealer said "yes we are all aware of the issue but there is no fix apart from an updated map, could it be worsened by your aftermarket pipes". We installed an updated map, but no improvements. Power commander don't do a unit and a ring around to all the other Guzzi dealers couldn't identify a dyno or alternative mapping fix.
After a bit of research I found a company called Finebau
finebauforge.com
they do a bespoke unit and I spoke with Dave who sent me a 2-in-1 750 8 Jet Universal module, which was £150 plus postage

Fitted the unit which took 20 minutes and pleased to day bike is transformed, not just on start up but also stuttering around town has disappeared and bike generally just feels much more responsive. I have also upgraded the rear shock absorber to a twin adjustable bitubo which has also made a huge difference to the riding experience. I no longer feel that the bike wants to spit me out of the saddle on speed bumps.
Come on guzzi raise your game a bit. You have created the coolest bike with an two achiles heels which can be easily sorted. Pictures attached of my finished bike.
