    GTM V85TT E4/E5 EVO FUEL KIT INFO

    Thank you for the thoughtful reply. I am not adamant about keeping the air-box lid in place, I am simply operating off my first-impression, and trying to plan for reliability. I AM open to leaving the lid off and going with the GTM filter element if that makes the most amount of sense. I'll...

    V85TT Evap and Tip Info

    I have been doing a lot of reading, and trying to learn as much as I reasonably am able.....I am puzzled by some of the reports regarding the evaporative canister system -- or -- more to the point, malfunctions of the evap canister system: Some reports discuss a pressurized condition inside of...

    New V7/85 65hp for 2021

    I agree......something is fundamentally wrong with his estimate. 14-15 MPG......maybe.....if he kept it in first gear only and the engine was continually doing 8K RPMs.......but he was keeping the engine revs low (2-2.5K)......almost makes me wonder if he had a fuel leak.

    GTM V85TT E4/E5 EVO FUEL KIT INFO

    This is really interesting stuff for me, and I appreciate the data and information provided. I feel like I do have a lot of questions, and I don't want to clutter this thread -- or the forum, for that matter -- with yet another thread. As for myself, I am not really chasing maximum power...

    GTM E4 V85TT Exhaust NOW WITH DYNO RUN

    May I inquire as to the power the bike has stock -- as a means against which to compare this result?

    GTM V85TT E4/E5 EVO FUEL KIT INFO

    Just re-read the first post, as I see that the information is being updated. I am very interested in this corrected fuel mapping. Fortunately, I have a '20 V85, so I am still in the game with this current development. Depending upon difficulty of install, I may need to bring my bike up to...

    V85TT GTM SAS Delete

    Ah......now I understand. Good to know. I am interested to doing the "y-pipe" cat delete in the future, and it sounds like this SAS elimination kit should be part of that plan. Thanks for helping me gain knowledge. I never cared for that decel-popping effect either.

    V85TT GTM SAS Delete

    Greetings......I apologize that this is probably a rather rudimentary question....but what *is* the SAS, and what are the advantages of deleting it?

    I never knew Loctite eats powder coat...

    I just want to say "thanks" for posting those photos......that is one of the nicest-looking "scrambler" style Guzzis I have seen......really cool.....and inspiring.

    GTM V85TT E4/E5 EVO FUEL KIT INFO

    Thanks......I appreciate the information provided. I remain very intrigued as I try to learn more about this stuff. I didn't realize that there was this much to it.

    GTM V85TT E4/E5 EVO FUEL KIT INFO

    I have been following along on this thread, hoping to gain more understanding of this kit. I confess that I am not sure how all of this fits together, or what the different pieces do. At the risk of appearing naive (which I am!), I will ask a few questions: I believe I understand that the...

    GTM V85TT E4/E5 EVO FUEL KIT INFO

    Todd, Please let me know if I am asking too many tedious questions, or otherwise cluttering-up this thread. You mentioned "the test areas" in your previous post. Am I correct that there are certain specific RPM and load conditions under which the bikes are emissions tested -- and thereby the...

    GTM V85TT E4/E5 EVO FUEL KIT INFO

    I generally understand the rationale for leaner-running (emissions, etc), but why would any bike be set-up for -- as you say -- very rich running under any circumstances?

    V85TT Ride Review

    I have noticed this somewhat -- but not all of the time -- and yes, it is a little bothersome but I do not feel like it is a major factor. The main place / time that it becomes a bit of an annoyance is when downshifting to a full stop: from second -- with the clutch pulled-in -- I am not always...

    V85TT Registry and pic thread

    I was tempted by the red -- quite nice -- but I have always loved a nice yellow. 2020 -- VIN: ZGUKWU005LM000200 Lemon Grove, California (San Diego County) Not a great photo, but then again, I have only had the bike a couple of days. Paul

    GTM V85TT E4/E5 EVO FUEL KIT INFO

    Faisal, Thanks very much for the reply. I am really enjoying the bike, and I am mostly-okay with keeping it stock initially, but I can really see myself wanting to get rid of that cat converter. I can feel the heat coming off of that thing, and it is right below the engine -- it must be...

    Newcomer Requests Break-In Advice

    Yes.....in fact I did get the bike from GP.....I feel that they treated me very well, and the transaction was very pleasant. Indeed......the rural section of Highway 94 -- starting from Jamul and going all the way out to Campo -- has been one of my regular weekend rides. The Guzzi has already...

    Newcomer Requests Break-In Advice

    Brett, Scott, Peter, Thank you all for the kind replies.....most appreciated. I confess that I went on a maiden voyage with the bike (about 90 miles) before reading the Owner's Manual where it is instructed to keep the engine revs below 4500 for the first 1500 km. I violated that guidance...

    Newcomer Requests Break-In Advice

    Greetings, I have just purchased my first Moto Guzzi -- a V85 TT -- and I am curious about engine break-in recommendations from those that really have a solid technical grasp regarding such matters. In the past, I have broken-in my new Honda motorcycle with (a) hard-riding, (b) frequent oil...
