    GTM V7R-820 QuattroValvole Info & Dyno Runs

    Forgive me if this was already mentioned, but does GuzziTech offer a warranty (parts and/or labor) with this conversion?

    Aircooled Engines Overheat at Long Idle?

    How are air cooled ducati's, HD's, and Yamaha Bolts keeping the rear cylinders cool? Is it typical for manufacturers to make the aft cylinder and head not equal in design to the fwd cylinder for improved thermal capacity or cooling?

    GTM V7R-820 QuattroValvole Info & Dyno Runs

    Thank you for clarifying and after closer inspection, I see that Jason's modification keeps the rounded edge cylinders with polygon 4-valve heads. Will this difference in geometry pose any issues with heat expansion difference? (ex. cylinders heat soak and expand different rate than heads due...

    GTM V7R-820 QuattroValvole Info & Dyno Runs

    Hello forum, According to the website's shop: Our full GTM conversion kit (not included) is with retro-fitted 4V heads with all new modernized parts (valves, springs, seats and seals) and performance flow-ported intake and exhaust tracts, along with new push-rods and related to make it a near...

    GTM V7R-820 QuattroValvole Info & Dyno Runs

    Just to be certain, the 820-4V (V7_I-II) kit is being discontinued altogether or will be made to order on future orders?

    Aircooled Engines Overheat at Long Idle?

    Thank you Todd. As a matter of fact, you installed one on my motorcycle not too long back. I agree that the larger oil capacity and integrated fins help keep fluid temps from getting out of control and prolong oil change intervals. No leaks! You and your staff's workmanship is great!

    Thank you for the insights. Very much appreciated.

    Aircooled Engines Overheat at Long Idle?

    Hello forum, Generally, do air cooled engines need to be turned off when idling for prolonged periods at stop? Especially cylinders inline with frame (essentially 90% of the other v-twin placement configurations)? What about the Moto Guzzi V7i-ii (stock) or other larger Guzzi motors (Griso...

    V-Twin 90 degree = harmonically balanced?

    Hopefully, one day, I can be lucky enough to ride a ducati (90 degree L-twin) to compare the vibrational forces vs the moto guzzi 90 degree v-twin. I also just learned that the suzuki sv650 is also a 90 degree v-twin (or is it L-twin?), although liquid cooled. Hopefully I can experience that...

    Moto Guzzi V7 Lean Angle (stock tire size)

    Albeit not a v7 racer, but additional proof no less.

    Moto Guzzi V7 Lean Angle (stock tire size)

    Thank you all very much. @GuzziMoto - thank you for validating that v7's have enough tread such that it should hold the lean until pegs scrape without running off the edge of the tire presuming ideal conditions. This was what I was hoping to get answered. :-) I intend to practice my skills in...

    V-Twin 90 degree = harmonically balanced?

    Really enjoying the feedback everyone is providing. In addition to side-to-side rocking during idle, I also understand the torque rev nature of longitudinal engines (blip throttle torques/tilt bike over just a bit) in cars and now I experience the same in my v7 racer. Before my v7 racer, I had...

    V-Twin 90 degree = harmonically balanced?

    Hello forum, This is my first V-Twin motorcycle. I really like the vibrations coming from this engine. After several articles of reading I learned that 90 degree (and 180 degree?) V-Twins are inherently harmonically balanced which removes the primary vibrations, but secondary vibrations still...

    Moto Guzzi V7 Lean Angle (stock tire size)

    Hello, I'm a new (3 seasons) and cautious rider with very little experience with taking a motorcycle to any limit. I've never knee dragged, wheelie, stoppie, etc. I've locked up the rear tire a couple times during a MSF course and that's it. Please forgive my naïve or ignorant question but...

    GTM ECU V7 & V9 Flash Tool

    Good evening Todd, 1. you state (on post #9): "That is correct. I do not charge for additional maps or revisions for one year after purchase." It's very likely I will be upgrading my motorcycle after the 1 year mark since the ECU update was installed April 2017 - likely my upgrades will not...

    GTM ECU V7 & V9 Flash Tool

    Hello Forum, Just purchased a lightly used 2013 MG V7 Racer. This is my 2nd motorcycle and very happy to own a Moto Guzzi V7. I, too, am relatively new to the engine tuning world. Sorry to bring back a forum from the grave. The previous owner had GT's ecu update for my motorcycle in the stock...

    GTM v2.0 Fender Elim Kit

    Is there a kit (or Work In Progress) to relocate the license plate off the fender whileby keeping the fender installed? I think this could look cleaner if the plate was relocated in a vertical orientation adjacent to the fender/wheel.
