    V7-850 Mods Thread

    I bought a set of used Agos for my V7II that the previous owner (of the Agos) had modified by cutting off about 40% of the db killers' length. They sounded as expected, louder than with full-length killers but not as loud as with the killers removed. It was, in my opinion, a good mod.

    2017 V7 III Stone Rear Brake parts function

    Or to keep it from rattling.

    Top box size recommendations.

    My former V7(I) and V7II Guzzis sported an H&B 45L Junior top box that I bought used. The box, and the bike (and nearly also myself) perished in a crash in 2020. I bought a V7850 as a replacement bike, but H&B no longer makes the 45L Junior top box. The 40L size is too small for my Shoei...

    Upgraded Suspension 2022 V7 Stone

    I agree. I put Matris fork kits and PB shocks on my previous 2015 V7II Stone and they made a world of difference. After that bike got totaled, I bought a 2021 V7 850 E5. It has much better OEM suspension that I'm living with, but I'm sure would be better with Matris parts.

    V7 850-E5 Cylinder head retorque?

    Not required or even recommended for the V7 850.

    V7 850 special, seat covering deteriorating?

    Did you ever spill fuel onto that area when filling the tank? I think it's possible that exposure to fuel might weaken or start to dissolve the "fabric".

    To turn it OFF

    You will know because the ABS and TC lights will not be blinking when you start up the bike.

    To turn it OFF

    No, your dash wouldn't light up like a Christmas tree, not even like an unlit Christmas tree.

    To turn it OFF

    You can also turn TC and ABS off by removing the fuse the powers it. Simple and permanent until you decide to reactivate it.

    In the Nick of Time!

    I had an experience very much like the OP's clutch cable break. I was out on a long-ish ride and just after I pulled into my driveway, the cable snapped just behind the end bead. Whew! I also had a somewhat hairy ride when, during a trip about 30 mi from home, I dropped the bike trying to...

    OBD II Port Reader - E4/5 Red Diag Plug Guzzis

    That's good enough for me. I take a rosier view of the service wrench light: It proudly shows that "this dude does his own motorcycle maintenance."

    Brake pedal o-ring? (V85TT)

    My V7E5 Stone has the same part. Its only function that I can think of is to prevent rattling of the clip against the fork shaft. It's listed in the parts book as part AP8120178, O-ring #112, which means that it's 104mm ID, 4mm thickness, and 112mm OD. You can get the part from a MG parts...

    Help please: DriveShaft V7 850 2021

    It seems to me that the two possible oil sources are the shifting gearbox and the bevel gearbox. For the V7E5, they both use the same oil, SAE 75W-140 - API GL5.

    Help please: DriveShaft V7 850 2021

    I just looked under my 2021 V7E5, and, yep, there's a hole there. On my bike, there's no buildup around the hole, it's just a neat drilling in the flat casting. There is no trace of oil or water in or around the hole. I probed it with a toothpick, and it does seem to go through the casting to...

    v7 III oil filter question

    Two small points: 1, DO use new aluminum crush washers on both the drain plug and the bolt that secures the oil filter cap, otherwise you may get another leak after you assemble everything, and have to start all over again; 2, the oil filter bolt screws into a steel "adapter" fitting rather...

    Abs light replacement

    Yes, I have. My V7II Stone came with shattered lenses on the ABS and TC lights, and I got OEM replacements on warranty. I convinced my dealer that I could install them myself and they said "OK, but don't tell MG, we're supposed to do all warranty labor." The lamps are fastened to the mounting...

    Mindis V7-850 Mods

    Those turn signal spacers are only used on USA-destined V7 850 models. Must have something to do with an obscure Federal spec. I learned that when I installed an OEM windshield on my 850 Stone. The installation instructions are slightly different for the US models vs the elsewhere models.

    New v7 850 addition of rev counter

    I don't understand the premise here. The 850 Stone does have a rev counter, using markers around the speedometer dial. It's not as easy to see and use as a separate dial/pointer arrangement, but it works well enough for me.

    V7-850 Mods Thread

    Yes, I put an OEM windscreen on my '21 Stone. Part #2S001568. It fits well and is a good size compromise for adequate air deflection. N.B. The Special, with a different headlight, will require a different windscreen. I didn't put a handlebar riser on the '21, but my previous '16 V7 had a SW...
