    Wheel interchange?

    Thanks for the reply. Appreciate it.

    Wheel interchange?

    Anyone know if the front and back wheels for the V7 3 will fit the V7 first gen?

    What is this dial for on the right grip?

    On my CalVin, I use an O ring--cost might have been a buck. On my V7 Racer I use one of my wife's hair elastics. Cost nothing Both do the same job. (Ok, the friction is not adjustable--not worth $200.) But, come to think of it, my '68 Bonneville has a screw adjustable throttle-grip...

    No start? Check the battery! No, CHECK the battery!

    I'm sure you have, but many members continue to post "my bike won't start and my battery is good." I'll bet real money most of them are mistaken about their batteries (as I have been--till now) and that the so-called "startus interruptus" phenomenon is an probably an un-diagnosed battery...

    No start? Check the battery! No, CHECK the battery!

    Time and time again I read here about starting issues. I've had them myself, and every single time, it's been the battery. Example, I replaced the factory battery in my 2013 V7 Racer with the exact same Yuasa battery--the sealed AGM type. Less than 9 months later, the bike would not start...

    And I just bought one!:)

    V7 Charging issues / Dead battery -- PLEASE READ

    OK, this is how it went for me. YMMV. I acquired my 2013 V7 Racer, used, in 2014 with about 2,000 miles on the clock. As far as I know, the battery and R/R were the same ones that the bike left the factory with. I read this thread when Todd first started it in 2016. I tested my regulator then...

    V7 Charging issues / Dead battery -- PLEASE READ

    OK. So my 2013 Racer is over-charging and I'll buy the MOSFET replacement. But nowhere--including the service manual--can I find any info on how to disconnect and remove the R/R. It looks like the connection is under the tank and the tank has to come off to reach it. Is that correct? Is...

    V7 Rear Wheel R & R tips

    Removing and refitting the rear wheel on my V7 turned out to be fairly simple--and I did not find it necessary to remove the hub from the drive shaft, or to secure the drive rubbers with grease, RTV, or--even as someone suggested (hopefully in jest)--with crazy glue. I didn't even have to...

    CalVin Oil leak and ??

    Thanks, but I'm still not clear on the routing here. It looks like, from the drawing, that 27 goes from the front of the crankcase to some unspecified and un-located fitting on a tubular part of the frame, (marked "A") then vents THROUGH (?!) the frame tube, to exit it somewhere else (but...

    CalVin Oil leak and ??

    Where do I find this vent hose? I can't see anything resembling a vent--but then it's pretty hard for me to find stuff--all jammed in as it is. Any tips as to where to look would be appreciated!

    CalVin Oil leak and ??

    No question that it's engine oil. I've just come back from a 4000 mile trip around the Canadian Atlantic maritimes, and I'd been adding engine oil, while the tranny is as full as it was when I checked it before leaving. I've got it up on the stand and the mufflers off pending a tire change...

    CalVin Oil leak and ??

    I'm relatively new to Guzzi's and am not well-versed in their engine anatomy. Therefore, I don't know where the pictured oil leak (rear of pan? some joint above the pan?) is coming from or how to address its repair. Also it looks like something broke off the lower back right corner of the...

    V7 Charging issues / Dead battery -- PLEASE READ

    This one... electrosport.com/street-bikes/moto-guzzi/v7-racer/honda-heavy-duty-regulatorrectifier.html ...is supposedly a replacement for 883878--the regulator part number for the 2013 racer, and maybe others. I wrote to the distributor,and he wrote back that the output is set for 14.6 volts...

    V7 Charging issues / Dead battery -- PLEASE READ

    Just came across this thread. Read every damn post. Then read all the V7-overcharging posts on the the other forum. What a mess of inconclusiveness. Checked output on my 2013 V7 Racer: 12.49 volts DC at rest, and 15.47 volts everywhere in the rev range—from idle to 4k. Bike starts...

    V7 Racer Horn Puzzle

    I don't think it was intentional. I think someone at the factory just messed up on this particular bike--and maybe a few others...who know?.

    V7 Racer Horn Puzzle

    My 2013 V7 Racer has two horns, left and right, which--according to the parts book--is correct. However, today I noticed (rather belatedly, and much to my chagrin, since I've owned the bike for about 3 years) that the right-hand horn is not sounding. Going to investigate, I was astounded to...

    Sachs twin rear shock rebound adjusmtent

    My concern isn't in feeling any difference in ride comfort or handling response. Rather it is a matter of tire wear. We ride our CalVin two- up with lots of luggage on long trips. I've been having problems with cupping in the rear tire, which has been variously ascribed (in many placesaround...
