    New Cali Vin owner needs advice

    Have a reputable dealer do a diagnostic on the bike's computer. I drove my brand new '08 Cal Vint for a year with a faulty brain box. It ran but was not right. I had another Guzzi (Jackal) to compare the performance. The thing ran like a different bike with a new unit unstalled. Seriously, check...

    DISCONTINUED ALARIS/Centurion/VDSTS Info - Instructions

    Re: VDSTS Info - Instructions John, thanks for the reply. Maybe I'm the one not being clear. I'll try again. Maybe it's something really simple that I'm just not comprehending. Here goes - I've had the VDST for about two years. I bought it for my Cal Vintage. I've used it to adjust the TPS and...

    DISCONTINUED ALARIS/Centurion/VDSTS Info - Instructions

    Re: VDSTS Info - Instructions I'm seriously confused with all this VDST stuff. I had my TPS re-set at the dealer (to make it a bit richer) and when I checked it on my system at home the Alfalin_0 read 4.0. I need to know how to set this thing up so I can read correctly. I've read an re-read the...

    HELP! Need advice on Evap Removal V7C

    Drait's reply should do it. I'm pretty sure that is how my removal took place. And I have removed the evap systems on all three of my Guzzis. The Jackal and Cal vint had positive pressure. The V7 negative. Make sure that both tank breathers are not pinched. This is very easy to do when...

    V7C - I assume the two rear shocks are the same?

    I put a set of IKONs on my V7C. Pretty satisfied with this. Big improvment from stock.

    Nasty Rattle

    Just a heads up for V7C owners. Make sure that the left header pipe is positioned away from the side stand bolt, otherwise you will be slowly driven crazy wondering if that nasty rattle is the crankshaft??!! The tranny??!! Valves??!! Wrist pins??!! If the pipe at the crossover is not pulled...

    Staintunes Fitted To V7

    The stock pipes are not straight. They have a slight upward bend. The Tunes bolt right on and the rear mounting bolt is perfect. No need to add spacers etc. They look like Norton exhausts and the best part - they sound like a Norton. They seem to run a little lean so I'll start messin with the...

    Bar End Mirrors...

    I've put Napoleons on both my Royal Enfield and my V7 Classic. They look sharp, though had to do some creative re-design to get them on the V7 due to the handle bar ends being not hollow.

    Staintunes Fitted To V7

    Due to the anti-motorcycling season of winter in Wisconsin haven't had much of a chance to put the Staintunes through the paces. Did manage to make a sprint down the highway in 26 deg F. So far at least no noticable HP loss, and I'm guessing at least some gain since the "Tunes" are free flowing...

    Shssh. Anyone want a fuel canistor?

    I had such negative pressure on the V7 due to the evap can that it would expand the nylon tank by half an inch on both sides when I took the gas cap off. Its a joke.

    V7C Shocks

    The stock shocks on my V7 were also quite stiff at first, but after 2000 miles they softened up a bit. Still, I put a set of Ikons on. By the way Ikons are essentially Konis. Koni apparently sold the rights to another manufacturer. They are high quality shocks. Dave Gardner in San Francisco is...

    V7 Crazy Whine Squeel Screech

    Thanks for the tips. It hasn't made this noise again after 200 - 300 miles. I think though I have isolated it to the gearbox. Maybe a bearing that got starved for oil momentarily. Of course now I'm paranoid. A mini van pulling along side in traffic with a brake squeel sent prodigeous amounts of...

    GuzziTech: A few thoughts & frustrations...

    Guzzitech is a great site. There is a good chance I would not own a Guzzi if it wasn’t for your site and a few others. Over the years I’ve run across the anti-profit mentality often. It appears to be getting worse. Curiously in my life it always seems to rear its ugly head in regards to a...

    V7 Crazy Whine Squeel Screech

    I know this topic might have been dealt with, but maybe not with the V7. So ... After 1000 miles on the new bike driving at 60mph I will suddenly get a high pitched whistle which quicky develops into a kind of a whine or screech. Loud. At first I think its a weird helmet noise, but no. I...

    V7C Shocks

    The pre-load adjustment is certainly the place to start, but depending on how much you weigh, the results will vary. It is logical to assume that the manufacturer sets up their shocks for an average weight. With the V7 shocks as stiff as they are I'm guessing that this number is maybe a higher...
