    Salty Dog Museum - Shandon, OH

    Had a nice group of 11 riders, for a trip to the Salty Dog Museum. A small private museum containing “old” cars and fire engines. A very interesting couple of hours, seeing and learning about early 1900’s cars (with some “high wheelers” - see pics - thrown in). Sears sold these. The guy in the...

    V100 oil leak (minor)

    I’ve had to tighten about 5 engine casing bolts, after seeing fluid seeping (that was at about 2-3k miles). Could be something like that. Especially if it just started.🧐.

    Coolant Leak

    @grider … I personally haven’t had a coolant leak issue (I’m at about 6400 miles), but, there has been mention elsewhere in the V100 thread of leaks in multiple locations. A lot of guys have done their own clamp replacements.

    Fuel tank label removal?

    Perhaps a regulatory thing? I didn’t have the stickers either (US). What Scott suggested - and, maybe peel real slowly. Good luck!

    Regrets selling V7 Special for V100 Mandello?

    Good luck with your decision… you wouldn’t go wrong with any of the comments👍😁. My $.02 … I had a ‘15 Norge and traded it in (along with a Pristine ‘06 Ducati ST3S) for a Mandello V100S. No regrets. I am where you are headed - retired, and taking longer trips than the working man day rides. in...

    Nice Coupla Days on the V100S

    I had fun leading a two day ride with 3 buddies… 450 miles, out of Cincinnati, across the Augusta (KY) ferry, south on 19, hitting 62 (and, a detour - there were a total of 3 detours to wreak havoc on the REVER route!). But, the fun part was 1274 to Morehead, KY, and 32 out of Morehead, to...

    Early Impressions V100

    FWIW… hehe, screen shot below, but to edit the MGCS parameters, here’s what I did… -Go into Launcher Menu (press and hold right arrow button on left handlebar). -Scroll down until selecting MGCS. -Press right arrow again, to access MGCS menu. It contains A1,A2,M1,M2. -Scroll down/…up to the one...

    Early Impressions V100

    I posted that last summer, and wan’t clear. I slightly edited my orig post… but, what I did was tweak the Touring mode to contain the MGCS settings that I wanted. It currently opens the wing’s at 50mph now, and uses suspension settings I set in MGCS using the M1 option (there are 2 Automatic and...

    V100 Mandello Tip - Quick wind screen adjustment mode

    Haha… I’ll try that one too! A “press and hold” while riding was my accidental discovery. Who knows what other secrets we might find.😉

    Battery life new V100?

    @scottmastrocinque - I’m bummed to hear that! I was thinking things were going ok with your bike, from other recent posts. Go enjoy the trip, and try to not let “V100” creep into your subconscious. Good luck, and have a safe trip!

    V100 Mandello Tip - Quick wind screen adjustment mode

    Not sure how many may be aware of this, but, I stumbled upon a quick access to windscreen adjustment. Here’s how it works… OK, everyone knows where the Ride Mode selector button is, …the thumb button below the ignition rocker on the right side of the handlebar, next to the throttle grip (for...

    Ugh, well, I’m sorry to hear that, Todd. Yeah, probably best to let it lie. I wish you well moving forward👍😁.

    First ride of the season...

    Thanks Scott😁🙌… I’m usually riding KY, eastern OH or IN roads. But, if I ever head up your way, I’ll msg you, and maybe meet up for a ride/lunch. Imagine, …two Verdes😁. Oh, full disclosure, I did have the one problem on day one upon delivery - faulty rpm sensor. A $25 part, but getting it took...

    First ride of the season...

    @scottmastrocinque - No, I haven’t had the clutch seal done, but will inquire when I’m in the shop next. Almost 6k miles though, with no issues. I don’t know if that’s an “across the board” recall, or only applies to certain serial numbers? I’ve had good dealings with Cadre, as a customer, for...

    Two Silly Questions - Brand new Mandello

    I am a guitar player, and have played with many drummers, but haven’t heard a cowbell sound out of my V100S yet😂… But, it might be exhaust note related. Mine does pop on deceleration - but, in a good way😉. My TPM does take a few miles sometimes. Seems to take longer when I’ve been riding, and...
