    Gas/Petrol Capacity of a V7/V7 II Tank?

    My '14 V7's fuel light typically comes on between 155 and 165 mi (249 to 265 km) depending on how hard I've been riding. The average lands right at 162.78 mi by the time I get to the pump. I average 3.69 gal per fill up by filling just to where the fuel is touching the inner lip with the bike...

    Hepco Becker Junior 40 top case

    I can't help with the case, but I did install one of the H&B chrome rear racks on my V7. https://www.guzzitech.com/store/product/hb-rear-rack-v7-v7-ii-chrome/ It "allows you to attach any top case offered by Hepco & Becker" so it should work. I put it on to give my girlfriend something better to...

    V7 special dying at idle (and other issues)

    Interesting. I didn't notice that thread, but it seems to very likely be the case. Pretty much describes my situation exactly even down to the original battery dying not quite a year into ownership. I just chalked that up to a lame battery. I just tested it and it started off idling at about...

    V7 special dying at idle (and other issues)

    I have symptoms similar to Deb Sell's here, but I suspect mine may be somewhat different. To call the behavior erratic would be an understatement. I'm on a '14 V7 Special with approximately 15.5K miles. The only changes I've made to the bike in the last year were to add a battery tender and USB...

    '14 V7 seeping oil

    Lol, yeah. I actually asked them to wash it after they do the work. The lower half of the left side of the bike has had a light spritzing of oil all over it. She's a bit filthy.

    '14 V7 seeping oil

    I didn't ask. A dealership like AF1 that specializes in these bikes will know what needs doing. Especially something basic like the post-break in re-torquing. Hell, the mechanic I was talking to was rattling off the minutia of what will need to be done for the next regular servicing off the top...

    '14 V7 seeping oil

    Quick update for anyone interested: Dealer confirmed my suspicions that is was the gasket between the head and cylinder. It'll need to be replaced. They also confirmed my suspicions that I am, in fact, a doofus. Turns out my warranty is still in effect till this coming October. Mr. Piaggio...

    '14 V7 seeping oil

    Yeah, they've been good to me. I'm out of warranty by a few months now so this would be out of pocket. I'm currently looking through the engine service manual to see if this is something I want to take on myself. It doesn't look too bad, but I'm definitely going to talk to AF1 before I give it...

    '14 V7 seeping oil

    AF1 in Austin.

    '14 V7 seeping oil

    Yeah, I figured that would be the answer. A little less than 14K miles. All the scheduled maintenance has been completed at the dealer. It has been rock solid, otherwise. Just one of those things I suppose.

    '14 V7 seeping oil

    Looking for any suggestions on how I should go about eliminating a slow oil leak. On my left side cylinder I've noticed oil residue/oil accumulating and threatening to drip. It seems to only seep out while running and my best guess is that is is from the gasket between the head and cylinder...
