    V7 ii basic maintenance?

    Thank you, Maynard. Honestly, I'm not a racer, so I never exceed the capability of any tire on my bike as far as stickiness. But my general understanding is that radial front/bias rear is a no-no as you don't want the radial washout feeling with it's weaker side wall on the front only...

    Any Guzzi riders North-Eastern Mass and southern NH?

    Old thread, but I'm in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, next to Worcester.

    V7 ii basic maintenance?

    JD - I originally downloaded a manual for a V7 ii with ABS and the 6-spd geerbox. I think I got it from another forum. That's the one that would have instructed me to replace the gear oil with twice as much as is necessary (and a slightly different weight). The one I have now is for the V7...

    Got it. No worries. I feel a little stupid for not realizing I just had to scroll down all the stickies... I thought my settings were hiding my posts or something! My bad.

    V7 ii basic maintenance?

    Thanks, GTM. I've taken 400ml back out of her. I'm a wrencher, so I'm embarrassed that I have to ask questions of how to properly take an oil measurement, but here goes... 1. The manual (I now have the correct one) states, "Switch off the engine and wait at least five minutes to allow the...

    Nevermind... after a few days of self-inflicted frustration I just realized what is happening... I'm used to 5, maybe 8 main topic stickies at the start of an individual forum. I just realized there's about a hundred stickies that you have to scroll down through to get to new topics... Whoops...

    Sorry for the basic question; but I've been a member of more motorcycle forums than I care to remember and for some reason I don't understand how the forums are structured here. - I posted a forum named, " V7 ii basic maintenance?" - I'm pretty sure I posted it in "V7/V85/V9 Chat & Tech" - When...

    V7 ii basic maintenance?

    Crap - I just realized I have the service manual for a 2015 V7 ii... which is a 2016 model in the states... which means I need the service manual for a 2014 V7 to properly maintain my 2015 V7... wow, that is confusing!!!

    V7 ii basic maintenance?

    Hmmm... I've read that US moto guzzi's here in the states are usually one year behind other countries. Mine is definitely a 2015. It definitely has a gloss red tank. It was advertised as a V7 stone... but online it looks like the 2015 stone models have matte finish paint, not glossy. But now...

    V7 ii basic maintenance?

    I forgot to mention my battery debacle. On Thursday I ordered a replacement battery off of Amazon. On Saturday they delivered a battery... about 3 times the size of the one I ordered, and a deep-cycle to boot. They refunded my money and said, "It's too heavy to return, just keep it." On...

    V7 ii basic maintenance?

    Hi guys. After years of admiring Guzzi's, I finally pulled the trigger on a new-to-me 2015 V7 ii (stone?) with glossy red tank. She has a mere 5300 miles but has sat for a few years. I took 2 hours last weekend and scrubbed every inch of dust off her with a toothbrush... I like to get to know my...
