    My V7iii Special for sale in Oz

    Just posted an ad for my 2017 V7iii in the appropriate place. I don't imagine anyone outside Oz being interested.

    V7iii Carby conversion

    I have a V7iii Special - my first fuel injected bike. Had enough of FI tor now! I need something to tinker with. Just wondering if anyone here, or anyone you know has done a carby retro-fit on a fuel injected V7. I'm assuming that the existing ignition timing pick-up would be suitable to...

    Oil Funnel

    Ever had a problem holding the funnel whilst trying to pour oil into your sump? I, quite serendipitously, came across this funnel in and Auto1 store yesterday. My fellow antipodean inhabitants would know of Auto1, but the rest of you could try Googling the part#. It's a self-supporting funnel...

    Matris V7 F15K Full Fork Cartridge Kit

    G'day blokes and blokesses, I have the Matris V7 F15K Full Fork Cartridge Kit installed on my V7iii. Does anyone here know: 1. What grade/type oil I should use when I change the oil? 2. How much oil should be in each fork? I didn't install the kit and I can't find any info specific to my Kaifa...

    V7iii orange "Engine" icon stays on

    Hi gize, Had my bike out of service for nearly 3 weeks with the battery removed. The only electrical thing I did was remove the O2 sensors from my exhaust. Todd's new ECU map is supposed to have them shut off. I used electrical tape to ensure that they are sealed from the elements. 1. Did...

    V7iii O2 sensors

    I removed my exhaust system today. The O2 sensors are very black and sooty - sort of even, velvety black. Should I clean them before refitting them, and if so how/with what? Two asides here: 1. The exhaust valves are both a lovely light, greyish, fawny colour - running perfectly. 2. That...

    V7iii Spark plug options

    G'day from WA, Does anyone here know of a platinum/yttrium/iridium spark plug alternative for the V7iii engine? Standard NGK plugs in my bike barely make 10,000Km. They're really quite eroded by then. Hoping there'll be something out there, unavailable over the counter in Oz.

    H4 bulb pin polarity

    In the throes of fitting a lovely LED headlamp to my V7iii Special, and need to do some minor wiring mods. Can/will a knowledgeable person please give me a definitive answer on the pin polarity (hi, lo, earth) of the pins on a standard H4 bulb. There's untold conflicting info on the...

    Cancelling the "Spanner" icon

    Just had my 10,000Km service done. Re-flashed the ECU back to original for the occasion. All finished, but the dealer (Mario - Thunderbikes) couldn't get his Guzzi software to even find my bike to reset to "spanner" icon. We tried his setup on another (stock standard) V7iii and all went as...

    Errors in the V7iii Service Manual

    I'm sure there are plenty, but just to get the ball rolling: Pages 102 and 103 show the wiring diagrams for all 4 variants of the V7iii. Both wiring diagrams show a 3 phase (3 wire) permanent magnet alternator. On page 106 there is a colour photo of the stator wiring plug which attaches onto...

    V7iii Special tank removal

    Well, I've tried in 2 threads so far, to no avail. Perhaps a dedicated thread might work. I need to remove the tank from my bike soon to access other stuff. I've never had to remove anything other than a fuel line before removing the tank. What I would like to know is a little about what I...

    Running out of fuel

    With all this new fangled fuel injection stuff on my new V7iii, what happens if I run the tank dry? I'd really like to find out just how far I can go if I'm pressed. It's always been my normal practice to carry a spare 5 litres for a few tankfulls of fuel to get a good idea of where there...

    V7 air induction

    Has anybody out there removed the stock air box altogether and used a pod filter of some sort? I was thinking that quite a bit weight and space-engulfing stuff could be removed, and it could provide more room to work. I did see, on an entirely different brand/model bike where the owner...

    How do I do this ...?

    This is quite a confusing forum package. "My name is Jeff" has sent me a "New Profile Post". What do I do? How do I respond to "My name is Jeff"? I've searched - before anyone tells me to! His profile is locked. I don't even know what a "Profile Post" is. On any other forum package I...

    Fenda Extendas

    Hi Gize, I want a fenda extenda (or by any other name) for a V7iii Special. I know they make one for the V7ii. Is the front mudguard on the ii the same as the iii? Also, if any Ozzies are here, where can I get one in Oz. Google's not very forthcoming.

    Life and riding

    Don't have it yet, unless, of course, you mean mattress. I'll ask the missus, but I reckon it's working OK - did the trick this morning anyway :inlove:. On a more serious note however, I don't have a Gutz or the farkles yet. I've had money tied up legal wrangles for nearly a year now, but...

    Martis fork kits

    Looking at upgrading the suspension on a V7iii. Todd's Matris fork kits are interesting, but I'd like to hear from some who have them installed already. It just seems counter-intuitive to me to have asymmetric damping, particularly where any kind of substantial fork brace is missing. Cheers

    Fork Brace

    Is there a descent, solid fork brace available for a V7 - V7iii in particular? On most bikes they make a world of +ve difference in handling and feel.

    Guzzi tank badges and stickers

    I've seen these stickers and badges available somewhere on this forum, I'm sure. Can someone please point the way for me.

    Oil coolers

    Hi Gize, new here and new to Gutz. Are there oil cooler options out for V7i ii iii? Especially as these things are known to run hot.
