    ECU Re-Flash for V7 Classic

    Is there a Re-Flash you can get for the ECU in the V7 Classic? Or is throttle response less of an issue for that bike? I'm asking because I had a Stelvio and thought the reflash was necessary to make that bike to run right at lower rpm. Now I'm getting a V7 and am curious to know whether...

    Sold my Stelvio

    Well, I sold the Stelvio and the buyer is picking it up today. Don't get me wrong, it's not because of any problem with the bike. The only real issue I ever had was with the fueling, and Todd's "re-flash" cured that. I just decided the "adventure touring" thing is not for me; I've always...

    Which Wire for Brake Light?

    I'm installing a "third brake light," and I'm not sure which wire I should connect it to. There are three wires leadingto the brake / tail light: one is black, one is white and one is yellow. Does anyone know which wire is for the brake light and which wire is ground?

    How to Tighten Wheel Spokes

    Is the correct procedure for tightening the wheel spokes to turn the nipples counter-clockwise until snug? It looks like turning counterclockwise will pull the rim and the hub together, so I'm inferring that is the right direction. Also, do you have to use a spoke wrench or can you just use a...

    Throttle Position 4.8

    I'm having a little trouble with the tb sync, and I noticed that after I do the tps reset, the throttle position reads 4.8 when the throttle is all the way off. Shouldn't the throttle position be 0.0 when it's all the way off? I did the reset and "passed" but the bike isn't running right, so...

    Full Monty on Stock Bike?

    Hey, is anyone out there using the full monty (i.e. not just the reflash, but also the power commander and the autotune) on a stock bike (i.e. stock muffler, stock filter, no mods)? I know every bike is different, and it wouldn't hurt but would only help to further refine the tuning with the PC...

    Tipover Valve Mod Goes Horribly Wrong

    I have apparently fucked up what should have been a simple enough task: removing the tipover valve. I took off the gas cap, found the red plastic piece and removed it, then I went to re-attach the gas cap, and that's where things went wrong. There are four bolts that hold the cap to the top of...

    ECU Location

    Does anyone know where the ECU is on the Stelvio and what is involved in removing it. I'll be damned if I can find it; where is it?

    Turn Signal Lenses

    I have a USA bike with the turn signals in the mirrors, and I wanted to see if I could get lenses for the the Euro style turn signals. There is a silver plastic part where the lens would go so I figured I'd pop it out, pop a lens, socket and bulb in, hook up the wires and go. But I couldn't...

    I Love My Stelvio BECAUSE

    I think the "I Love My Stelvio BUT" post has gotten a little depressing. And I'm partially to blame, having posted a number of complaints myself. So now that I have the bike pretty much sorted out, I wanted to redeem myself by starting a new post for anyone who is interested. Here are some of...

    Oil for Gearbox and Final Drive

    What do you guys use for oil in the gearbox and final drive? I think the manual specified 80w90 for one and 85w90 for the other; do you use separate oils for each? I've always used Mobil 1 synthetic in the final drive; I think it's 75w90, but that's close enough, isn't it? I had a BMW a long...

    Cheapo Seat Relief

    Here is my cheapo ($10) seat relief pad. I got a 12"x12" piece of seat foam on Ebay. Cut it into 7", 4" and 1" strips, glued them together, and trimmed and sanded to fit the shape of the seat. Then I attached the pad to the seat with an elastic strap (tied in a knot under the seat). It isn't...

    Do's and Dont's for Guzzi Satisfaction

    Here is a list of five Do's and Dont's for anyone who is buying a Stelvio from a dealer in the US who sells the bikes as a sideline to some other brand (i.e. a dealer who doesn't have the knowledge or expertise to properly service the bikes). Expectations are important to customer satisfaction...

    Does ECU Compensate for Mods?

    There are a lot of posts here about air / fuel ratio issues, and the engine running lean because of environmental regulations. And I know there are at least three ways the engine squirts extra air into the mix: the lines from the infamous evap can, the stepper motor, and the idle bleed screws...

    TBS Sync After Valve Clearance Adj???

    Well, I checked the TB Sync a while ago, and it was way off, even though by bike had just been in for the 1,000 mile service (looks like the dealer never touched the TB's). So I did the Sync and re-set the TPS, and the bike runs better. After continuing to read posts here about set up issues...

    Has Anyone Completely Smoothed Out the Low End?

    Does anyone have a Stelvio that runs smooth? In other words, does anyone have a bike that they can honestly say runs without bucking, surging, hunting (or whatever you want to call it) at any rpm? You know what I'm referring to; almost everyone mentions it in one form or another. And I know...

    Fuel Pipe From Transmission

    I noticed there is a breather plug on top of the transmission cage (I would have called it a gearbox, but I notice Guzzi calls it a "transmission cage"). Anyway, my plug has a fuel hose attached to it. The hose runs up into the area behind the battery, but then isn't connected to anything...

    TB Sync Strategy Question

    Do we all sync the TB's at 3000 rpm's? I had a boxer a while back, and the best strategy for that bike was to sync the carbs just off idle. When I hook my Stelvio up to the guage, I notice the synch changes at different rpms. In other words, if you get it in sync at 2000 rpms it will be a...

    Memjet Module

    I notice there is a company called Memjet that is making an adjustible performance module for the Stelvio. I'm sure it's not as good as the Power Commander, but it looks like a possible less expensive alternative. Has anyone ever tried one?
