    2012 V7 racer questions

    Hi Chris, Sorry I didn't see your post before - I've been busy tinkering w/ an old BMW K100 I bought last winter and haven't really been monitoring this Forum. Anyway, that's cool that you have #218. As for the issues I was having last year, once they did the 2nd reflash I've had no more...

    V7 fuel filter WARNING!

    would this be the correct size for screw style hose clamps for the v7 fuel filter...I'm leaning towards yes but wondering if anyone knows for sure. amazon.com/AAS-Fuel-Injectio ... B0040CWZR0 Pretty sure that's too big. The 1/4" refers to the inside hose diameter, but that's thick SAE style...

    V7 racer tool kit (2012)

    Thanks for the suggestions. I wasn't really too concerned about the quality of the tools, as I have other tools that are much better. I was just interested to know what tools should have been included, as I like to keep everything that came or should have come with the bike (or any vehicle that...

    A Tire Thread

    Sorry I haven't gotten around to providing an update. I finally had enough free time last weekend and was able to take care of this. The tube had a hole on the rim side, but not on a seam. Didn't find any sharp edges or obvious reasons for the failure. I guess it was either a defective tube or...

    OK I'll take a closer look at the Nomar now that I have a more enlightened idea of what to look for. Thanks guys.

    A Tire Thread

    John, Can you describe what makes that balancer better? It looks pretty much like all the others out there. Some cost $50, some $100, but to me they all look like the same basic design w/ just different paint and brand name. Peter, PM sent (I think i did it right this time!) Perazzimx14, I'm...

    A Tire Thread

    John, Thanks again for the suggestions. As for balancing, it's really more of a convenience and learning experience for me than a money issue. I don't mind buying a $100 tire balancer. In the long run, it will pay off, but again, I'm not really doing it to save money. Peter, thanks for the...

    A Tire Thread

    Thanks for the suggestions and advice. As John correctly noted, the leak is not through the valve stem, but around the base of it. So unfortunately the tube will have to come out. I just hope I don't need a new tire, as I only have about 1k miles on the bike. I'm pretty sure this is something I...

    A Tire Thread

    Does anybody know if you need a bead breaker to change a tire on the V7R? I know that the Sport Demon tires are "tubeless" which normally would be beaded but since in this instance are mounted on spoked rims with a tube, I wasn't sure if that means they aren't beaded. Also, the cause of the...

    V7 racer tool kit (2012)

    Just curious what tools came in your tool kits. According to the owner's manual, we were supposed to get 8 tools. Mine only had 4. But on the Moto-international website, they sell a factory tool kit for Nevadas and V7s that is identical to the kit I got. So I'm wondering, was the owner's manual...

    2012 V7 racer questions

    Well it's been quite a while but but I did get the bike back after they remapped the ECU again. So far it does seem better, the check engine light hasn't come on anyway, although I've only had one ride of any significant distance since, and it wasn't real hot that day, so still not 100% sure...

    2012 V7 racer questions

    A quick update: I managed to make it to the dealer over the weekend; the light only came on once and just a couple miles from the dealer. After letting it sit a few minutes it went out and I continued on my way. They were apolegetic and said they would make it right. I sure hope they can. I did...

    2012 V7 racer questions

    I actually am my own mechanic for the most part. I've had a variety of antique cars and my other cycle is a BMW airhead that I've never had to take to a dealer or mechainc in the 17 years I've owned it. The reason I did go to a dealer this time is because I wanted the break-in service to be...

    2012 V7 racer questions

    Thanks for the suggestions. John, I'm not sure whether the remap was just to stock specs, but they told me it was supposed to make it run richer and therefore cooler so it doesn't seem like that would be a stock remap. (obviously, it hasn't helped, and if anything has made it worse) I'll try...

    2012 V7 racer questions

    Hi, I'm a new member w/ 2012 racer #217. I've had the bike a little over a year but only have about 800 miles on it. I've been reading other posts and seems like a lot of people have had hot/lean running issues. My bike has had some of these issues, including generally running hot, blue pipes, a...
