    Early V7 Radial Tire Thread

    Todd, I have a 2016 V7II Racer and I am sure I read on one of your posts that you recommend the RCA3s Front - 110/80 - 18, but the original size is 100/90-18. Is this a significant difference and why the difference? Love to hear your thoughts. Cheers.

    2020 V7 III New Model Announcement

    Well I certainly like the thin shorter rear mud guard (fender) on the 10th anniversary V7III Racer.. I don't wish to entirely eliminate my fender, just make it a little less obvious. Wonder if it would fit on my V7II 2016 Racer? Any ideas ???

    Early V7 Radial Tire Thread

    Thank you for the information. Much appreciated. I have been told by another magnificent Guzzi rider that he has used Conti RA3s on his V7 with original spoke rims without tubes for over 12 months without a problem. I think this is useful info given the other opinions on this thread...

    Early V7 Radial Tire Thread

    Thanks very much for the reply. The guy that told me this had it done on his racer and it was apparently the bike tyre shop that advised him he didn't need tubes, actually asked him why he wanted tubes, as there was no need for them. So he doesn't run tubes on his racer with original spoked...

    Early V7 Radial Tire Thread

    So I am reading quite a bit here about the need for tubes in radial tyres on spoked rims, however on another forum I have been informed that modern spoked rims, including those on the V7II racer, are now sealed and there is no need for tubes. Any comments welcomes?

    Hi Jeff, I have V7II Racer and find the sport demon to be rather unreliable. I am looking at the BT45s. Any advice welcomed here in Hobart.

    Cleaning up the Racer's Tail

    Just wondering if you have that photo yet, and how the changes went? I have a V7II Racer that I am wishing to modify the rear on, but can't work out the best way to go about it?

    V7 Racer first service question

    Cheers and thanks for the info. Yes, I was somewhat taken by the cost. I don't pay that much for a full service on my 3.2 L diesel Triton. Let's face it, the cylinders are staring you in the face so pretty easy to find - not hidden by fairing or frame :( :)

    V7 Racer first service question

    Cheers. Yep, the book says 120 minutes for this full service, but the shop said it took 4 hours going on 5, but they kindly only charged me to 4 hours. I know where I will not be going again. I rang 3 other shops and there time quote s were around the 2 hours mark. and about $400.00. It...

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

    I had the first (1,000km) service on my 2016 V7 II Racer done 2 days ago. The shop charged me for 4 hours labour, telling me that it was nearer 5 hours. Total cost $611 Australian. From all accounts this is about 2 hours too long. The valve clearances were all within tolerance so there...

    Feedback on exhaust/muffler options for V7iii..?

    I am pretty sure this is not the case. The advice the dealer gave me appears sound; and the dealer was very helpful, even on a Sunday. Ultimately, the problem may simply have been all on me. The right hand muffler fitted straight on - no issue, and when I redid the left, same result. They...

    Feedback on exhaust/muffler options for V7iii..?

    Well, when I purchased these I was not aware of you on the other side of the world; or this web page. But I now do and will consider it in future. They are produced to fit the V7 Racer, and after speaking with the supplier here in Australia I found out that there is a small amount of...

    Feedback on exhaust/muffler options for V7iii..?

    Ok, so I have a small dilemma, the Agostini instructions say, "don't force it', as you can see the bracket and hole do not line up. What is the answer? Perhaps loosen off the header pipe screws ? I am not a 'tool', just a pretty cautious operator. I read posts like this and at times...
