    New owner exhaust question

    In my opinion a small relatively slow bike with a loud exhaust is silly. Like a Harley; lots of noise with little progress. Don't let others know you're having fun; they will try to stop you

    Marvel Mystery Oil

    I've used MMO successfully for decades. The most dramatic benefit was realized when we added a few ounces to a friend's gold wing because it had noisy lifter. It quieted the lifter and it stayed quite It's also good as a gun oil as it doesn't gum up

    V7 Charging issues / Dead battery -- PLEASE READ

    I spoke to an electrical engineer about charging a 12v battery and the v7 situation. He is very familiar with12v batteries used in computer UPS battery banks. A charging voltage of15v+ calls for an immediate replacement of the system VR. He could not suggest a reason for Guzzi's 15+v spec I...

    V7 Charging issues / Dead battery -- PLEASE READ

    The Mosfet VR cannot be mounted much lower than the stock unit as the wires will foul the front engine cover It's better to mount it a bit higher

    V7 Charging issues / Dead battery -- PLEASE READ

    An adapter plate is not needed to mount the Mosfet VR. The stock mounting holes can be easily elongated with a file or rotary cutter, 1/4". Small spacers should be used on the mounting bolts to keep the Mosfet VR wires away from the front engine cover

    V7 Charging issues / Dead battery -- PLEASE READ

    I would say no. There is not enough room to trim the wires stagger the joints solder crimp and shrink wrap it. It's fiddly work but not difficult. It took me 4 hours because I kept changing my mind on how to mount it and what size wire to use on the output side: I used10 ga. I have an unused...
