    Evap removal from a new V7 II

    Hey all, The other day I was riding on the freeway and after heavy throttle to overtake a car, the bike died while I was coasting (at about 75mph). Not an issue, just put into neutral, fired it back up and continued my ride. Once I got to my destination, I came back out about an hour later...

    ABS / Traction Control Failure

    I did inspect all the fuses after it started happening, and all appeared to be intact. Wasn't even wet under the seat which is why it was odd it would trigger/deactivate now. I've definitely ridden in worse rain then that. I guess it's possible components in the system could be failing at 34k...

    ABS / Traction Control Failure

    Yea I've been riding for a few days now without it. Unfortunately, no luck on it fixing itself yet! That could be a good choice for me. By any chance do you know if the fueling plug-in device that Todd sells has similar functionality as well? I still haven't done that mod, so it would be nice...

    ABS / Traction Control Failure

    So after getting soaked in the rain earlier this week on a ride to work, I noticed that the next morning when I started the bike both the ABS and Traction Control light were staying on. So I restarted it and this is what is happening: Key on, start bike: - ABS lights up, stays lit - Traction...

    Petrol / gas / throttle response

    I noticed this when I first bought my bike as well and it always seemed to run really anemic for the first half mile unless the weather was perfect. The bike needs a good minute or so just idling before you take it out for your ride. I've just built it into my routine, set gloves and helmet on...

    Another Head Gasket Complaint

    I know I'm starting to sound like a broken record about this on here, but just wanted to keep you guys aware that this is a recurring issue that needs to be addressed (in my opinion, either in a maintenance schedule revision requiring more frequent head retorque, or a TSB supplying better...

    brake / shifter toe piece removal

    I'm sure you've got this taken care of by now, but finally got around to grabbing those pictures for anyone else who looks at this: The set is Pittsburgh Pro (the 12 is missing since I took it out and put it in my motorcycle tool bag after the hassle from this)

    brake / shifter toe piece removal

    Hi Jon, I removed mine in the first week of owning my bike since the stock one was so small I was worried my foot would slip off of it. Swapped it out with the stornello one since they had not come out with the flat style one yet. Anyway, the whole thing is just threaded in there. The nut on...

    Front Brake Reservoir leak

    Had this issue come up as well on my 2016 V7II at about 18,000miles. This is what I read as well, I replaced it with the previous style cap and haven't had an issue since, the part number for the older cap is: GU03661145.

    Better Head Gaskets for V7II?

    Awesome, thanks for the information Todd, I will definitely be reaching out to them. *Side note: Since you mentioned the stock bore size, do you use these guys for an all metal gasket when upgrading to your 820 2v kit?

    Better Head Gaskets for V7II?

    Hey guys, I have had this issue come up 3 times now on my 2016 V7II. Right side head gasket started leaking at 16,000mi, then the left side gasket at 17,000mi. Now the right side is leaking again at 22,000mi. Heads were retorqued after 500mi for each replacement. Left side seems to be holding...

    V7 Side Cover Bag interest

    Hey guys, Just noticed this thread going on and thought I would share an image of the bag that I've been using. *Note it is a canvas bag, not leather, but also why it was much cheaper. To answer a few questions: - I use it to store small containers for lunch and my coffee thermos on my way...

    Commuting 100mi per day V7II or V9?

    Hey Todd, Thanks for the detailed response. Reduced feedback from the front end would definitely making lane splitting more difficult. That's also interesting to hear that the seat will swap over, I thought the latch was much further back on the V7s, but it's good to know! I do not currently...

    Commuting 100mi per day V7II or V9?

    Hey guys, I'm looking at bumping up my commute from 70 mi per day to possibly 90-100mi (50mi each way). I've had my V7II for about a year and half now and it has been great for my current ride to and from work. Areas that could be improved: - Wind resistance (at higher speeds) - Seating...

    V7 II Maintenance Chart

    Hey Todd, just came back to check the responses on this post. I have the file on my work computer so I'll send you the file on Monday when I go back in. Hey Timmy, I thought that was overkill too, but I had one head gasket go out at 13,000 miles and then the other side at 14,000 miles. Mainly...

    V7 II Maintenance Chart

    Hey guys, it's been over a year now since I bought my V7II and I've put a little over 15,000mi on it now. I've been doing my own maintenance and got tired of looking at the chart on multiple pages in the owners manual, so I created my own chart with extra comments added along the way. I...

    Head Gasket Oil Leak (Warranty Repair?)

    Hey guys, My left cylinder head has developed an oil leak at the head gasket, the oil drips down the coiling fins and then slings itself down the side of the bike at highway speeds. I have already cleaned it and traced the source to make sure it wasn't the valve cover breather hoses or some...

    Anniversario brown seat on a Stone Gray v7ii?

    Got those pictures for you (the seat is much more red then it looks in the catalogue, I have been meaning to get some dye for my grip wraps ever since I bought the seat): Hope that helps!

    2016 V7 Stone Throttle Cable

    Does this help? AF1 has an OEM parts manual located online here. It has exploded views of different components of the bike if you need to look at assembly for anything.

    Anniversario brown seat on a Stone Gray v7ii?

    Hey Phillip, I think it would look just fine on the bike. I bought one for my V7 II Stone Gray about a month or so ago. I'll try and upload some pictures tonight when I get home (if I remember!). Your bike is a little different than mine since you did the fender delete, but I don't think that...
