    2010 cafe classic fuel tank removed and now wont fit

    I have taken off my tank a few times and found that lifting up the rear of the tank a small amount will make a BIG improvement! Raise the rear of the tank up 3/16" to 3/8" when trying to thread in the fastener bolt - may have to wiggle a slight amount while trying to start the thread. Works...

    Removing the front fender on a V7 Cafe

    Try just loosening one fork and moving it up or down (I forget which) enough for the one side to just clear.

    V7 Racer - bar end weights

    Hello, hope you all got some nice things under the tree this year. Re bar weights: I have put on a couple of different bar ends on my Classic - one set of vibration reducing bar ends required drilling out the soft metal plug that you normally screw the original into. It used a rubber expansion...

    V7R Two Up seat install issue

    I bought a extra Cafe seat for my Classic and it fit firmly and locked perfectly. But my stock Classic seat was too loose after latching. I could lift it up 1/8" and move it back and sideways 1/4". The stock seat didn't feel secure until I glued some flat rubber washers to the spacers under...

    How much better are the new V7C's?

    Your story sounds similar to mine. I first heard a utube vid of new Mistrals on a V7 Classic and it just blew me away. I had to search for more info on the bike, as I never heard a Guzzi V twin running before. I knew very little about Moto Guzzies to start with, but thats part of the fun...

    Lost a bolt!

    I saw these on the web and thought of you.

    Classic not starting

    Mine does that from time to time. If the voltage to the safety interlock relay drops because of a corroded or loose terminal in a connector, the starter will not power up. The dash meters will sweep but the fuel pump wont power up either. I found the interlock relay to be the main problem and...

    Rear Wheel Removal Tips – HELP

    The rear of the bike has to higher than normal. The wheel has to drop down a bit to clear the frame/fender bits when removing/reinstalling. - I placed a patio stone under the center stand. I got my wheel back on without taking off the rear drive 'pumpkin' - it is very very difficult to put...

    Alarm?

    Years ago there used to be a self contained licence plate holder and keyed alarm - simple and loud and easily adjustable too! Of course they don't make those anymore! You could make one from bits and pieces .....

    Alarm?

    I put a long range wireless alarm on my V7 classic for the times I cannot keep the bike in sight. I am more worried about people hitting the bike in parking lots and idiots touching it, than pro's targeting it. I found a copy of a Scorpion alarm - 2 key fob sized units that beep, vibrate and...

    Special Tools?

    With a new bike -I try to use the tools in the kit provided - just to see what needs replacing and what tools and lucky charms needs adding. During an emergency repair - I don't want to be stressed out without a common tool, or one that needs to be used only one way out of four. I don't like...

    V7 Registry & Picture thread -- ADD YOUR BIKE

    Re: V7 picture thread The little Viper fairing is OK - it cuts through the air without turbulence and without amplifying engine noises.I trimmed the bottom edge a little bit and added two more supports - very rigid and looks good on this bike. I much prefer this type over the touring type of...

    New smallblock motor?

    Lots of discussion on the new bike is good to see. Has anyone noticed that the new standard model looks like it comes standard equipped with the centerstand? Kudo's to Mama Guzzi for listening to her customers if true! Or is the EICMA show display of the standard model tarted up a bit?

    New smallblock motor?

    There might be a possibility that you are putting in a little too much oil in the crankcase. The oil fill mark on the dip stick confuses many owners. I refilled once and went over the line on the dipstick by about 3/8" one time. For a about a week I found a little bit of clean oil dripping out...

    Holiday Luggage

    Well, the weather has cooled off here and had a few days of rain and I am almost finished on my saddlebag restore project, trying to fit a set of early 70's Craven fiberglass saddlebags onto my 09 Guzzi Classic. Almost finished - a couple of trim pieces to redo, but the darn final coat of...

    fairing

    I like the simple lines of my new fairing. Here is a Bonnie pic that was posted on the ADV rider site showing just the windscreen attached with some homemade brackets ...not bad. Kinda.

    fairing

    Not bad but I didnt want to spend that kind of money to try it and find out I didnt like it. I ordered one of those inexpensive Viper fairings (simular copy of a BMW R90S fairing) for about $80 and spent a couple of days making the manditory new brackets for it. Not bad. It does work. It not...
