    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...

    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...

    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...

    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 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...

    Transmission Cage Breather Leak

    Has anyone else experienced an issue like this? It seems like whenever the temperature rises (SoCal heat cutting through traffic) or if I push the bike too long in 6th doing 90ish I get a leak from the transmission housing breather plug. This is the plug I'm talking about: Any idea what could...

    White Lettered Tires on a V7

    I just finished up my second service not too long ago (7000miles already!) and replaced my tires as part of it. I haven't seen anyone letter their tires yet on this bike, so I figured I would post some pictures of mine. Just in case anyone wanted to see how it looked.

    Tank Knee Guards

    Hey everyone, I just put these on my bike over the weekend and today was the first day I rode in to work with them on. I just thought I would add some feedback on my experience having them mounted on the bike. (For reference I have about 5,000m ride time on the bike without the pads) First...

    V7 III Rear Grab Bar & Other Accessories

    Has anyone heard / seen anything about the accessories for the new line of V7's? I figured they would be out by now so people could browse them when buying their new V7IIIs. When checking the Moto Guzzi US website though, the accessories .pdf file only shows last years catalog. Mainly I am...

    Weird Noises all about

    Hello everyone! First off, thank you for hosting this forum, it was a valuable resource in helping me finalize my decision to buy a new bike. This Tuesday I was finally able to get everything together and ride away from the dealer on a 2016 V7 II Stone! One of the things that initially made...
