    V7 Registry & Picture thread -- ADD YOUR BIKE

    The bagel button only does the one side. The toaster should do two. Personally, I want both sides done. If you have a english muffin setting I think it does the best overall job on everything.

    comfort on V7 special

    To answer your question, I had a 2015 v7 special and now a 2017 v7III special and a v85. I'm 74 and if I could grow a 1/2" (anywhere, please) I'd be 5'8". I find them very comfortable and simple to navigate around the garage and on the road. Now the v85 is way too tall, but I love it too even...

    V7 Clutch Cable R & R--HELP!

    I haven't done a v7 yet. On other Guzzis I just hook it up on top and use a bar to lever in the clutch arm enough to put the cable in.

    V7 850 special, seat covering deteriorating?

    There is a guy from I think Australia that has had a V85 brown seat basically dissolve. Not sure what forum I saw it on but will get you info if I find it again.

    I think it's just the V85 with the shut off feature?

    rear wheel failure

    But was it the same owner? If there are now two broken wheels we need to know. I know I saw this same issue posted several weeks back on one of the forums but don't remember which one. Cal, are you that same guy?

    2013 V7 Stone - Need help with the Engine and Gear oil info.

    All the latest use 10/60. Do a search here for more oil info than you ever needed to know. Yours is a plain V7. Every year can be different for the amount and type used in the 5-6 speed trans and the rear end.

    v85TT leaking from final drive

    No, the new ones are either 16,500-18,000 miles. JOKE! FYI, my 2022 was slightly underfilled on the 6 speed and slightly over on the rear end.

    V85TT Suspension Thread

    Pridanc, yes ,that answers the question. I'd call that 5 rings down and I run 4. I'm guessing that your spring and the lower shock are pretty close to the same distance. Now my only concern is will I lose enough ground clearance to make me upset. Thanks.

    v85TT leaking from final drive

    Refills are 160cc. Original 180cc. I think I'd drain it overnight and see how much comes out. I bet they just overfilled it. The factory considers close enough to be their standard. If it continues leaking haul it back to the dealer.
