    Broken retaining rings for Agostini mufflers

    Just curious if anyone else has had this problem, and what if anything you were able to do about it. I’ve lost track of how many retaining rings for the db-killers in my Agostini reverse carbon cone mufflers have broken, but I think probably five or six. I am attaching here pictures of the...

    No left hand mirror mount on V7III Stone S..?

    I am thinking of changing out my handlebars for something wider and with more pullback, which I think would mean changing from the stock bar end mirrors on the Stone S to handlebar mounted. But I just notice that, oddly, there is a mirror thread on the right hand control bracket but not on the...

    Anyone else's tank strap not fit around their gas cap? (V7III)

    The opening on mine is just a bit too small, which is not a major issue but somewhat annoying when screwing the cap on and off...

    Help me figure out this engine noise..?

    About 400 miles on my V7III, and just in the last couple of rides I've noticed this sound, almost like a light spinning/scraping sound. It only happens when riding, so I've not been able to pinpoint the location, but it seems like the left side of the engine to me (I could be wrong). I am...

    V7 III vs BMW R nine T?

    Just curious if anyone who has owned or ridden both bikes can compare the two? I find myself in need of a new motorcycle and have been thinking of coming back to Moto Guzzi after being on a Triumph for a couple of years. As I said in another thread, the Stone S caught my eye and it is high on...

    new V7III Stone S -- any pics or videos in real life?

    Just curious if anyone has acquired yet the new, very good looking V7III Stone S? And/or if anyone knows of real life pics or, especially, videos of the bike. It's tempting me a bit, but I can only find factory or dealer pics and would like to see more of it...

    Racer seats interchangeable..?

    Just curious, can anyone confirm that seats are interchangeable between various years of the V7 Racer (mark 1)? Especially between 2015 and 2013 models? Thanks.

    1.5 hrs for break-in service on V7 Racer..?

    What do you all think, can a full break in service be done in 1.5 hours? I took my 2015 V7 Racer in for it's first service, and when I picked it up the service manager said the total was $285. I said, "hmm that's not bad, can you give me a run down of everything you did?" He said sure, "full...

    Advice on first service for V7 Racer

    As posted here, I got a new 2015 V7 Racer not long ago, and before you know it I am up to 575 miles. Called my nearest Guzzi dealer/garage (not where I bought the bike) to schedule the break in service in the near future (recommended by Guzzi for 620 miles), only to find out that their service...

    fitment of V7 seats between years and models..?

    Thinking of finding a "donor" seat to get a custom two-up seat made for my 2015 Racer. Does anyone know how switchable the seats are between years and models of V7s? Would a 2015 classic seat fit my Racer..? Or a V7III Stone seat..? Thanks!

    V7 II Racer vs Triumph Thruxton 900

    Some of you know from my other post, I am about 85% certain that my next bike will be either a 2015 or 2016 Guzzi Racer. But occasionally I think maybe I ought to give one of the air-cooled Thruxton 900s (2015 or ‘16) a chance. Can anyone compare the experience of riding a V7II Racer with a...

    Seat cowlings and windscreens interchangeable on V7 racers..?

    I am looking at a 2015 V7II racer, but like most folks it seems am not sure about those racing numbers on a non-racing bike. But I like the chrome tank, and I like having a seat cowling and windscreen. I know various options are available for windscreen replacement (including Dart screens). But...

    Anyone ride their V7III with Traction Control off..?

    If so, how has it gone? This is the first bike I've ever owned that actually has traction control! It's not that much different, but I have to say it feels a little weird to me at times. The dealer advised me against turning it off, even though I said I was used to bikes without it. He said...

    Has anyone removed the tank strap from their V7III Anniversario..?

    If so, how easy was it, and let's see a pic of how it looks. (Mine is currently in winter storage so can't check it out for myself..) I should say that I like the strap, but am thinking of putting on an aftermarket seat, and having a seat that does not match the leather of the strap might be a...

    Differences between 2016 V7II Racer and 2015 V7 Racer..?

    I am thinking of trying to pick up a slightly older V7 Racer, some of which are still floating around new for very good prices. Just curious whether anyone can speak to the differences between the 2016 V7II and the immediately previous years, 2015 esp (but also 2013 or 14, which appear...

    Removing sticker on gas tank..?!

    So, here's a very trivial question: Anyone have advice on removing the "no ethanol" sticker on the gas tank of my new V7III Anniversario? Every time I get on it I scrape a bit with my fingernail, but it gets just little fragments off at a time. And I know there must be a better way, but that...

    Feedback on exhaust/muffler options for V7iii..?

    As posted on the registry page, I just got my brand new V7 Anniversario, and of course am immediately thinking of possible mods. One thing I will want to do for sure, though perhaps not until after winter storage, is to switch out the pipes for something a bit smaller and bit louder. I am...

    Racer or Anniversario- that is the question..

    I am torn, but need to decide soon: Should I buy the Anniversario or a Racer (both 2016 and 2017 are available). I know, I know, a very subjective question. And very different bikes, but I like both. Feel free to weigh in and try to convince me! Performance should be the same, so it’s really...

    Looking for testimonials on the V7 Racer, either mark II or III

    I’m interested primarily in how people find it for riding comfortableness. I’ve heard from a few folks here — Godfrey clearly loves his III and lucydad had a mixed experience. But I would be interested in hearing more from other folks who have ridden them. Last weekend I test rode a mark...
