    MG V7 Stone Can't start, please help!

    To be a little more clear on the fasteners, two of them are a kind of Dzus type fastener, they only need a 90 degree turn to lock or release. The other is a screw.

    GT-Rx® V7 Scrambler Exhaust?

    I took my V7r up the Nate Harrison Grade going up to Palomar. It's a fairly crappy road with a good climb involved, About as bad as I'd want to tackle at my age. The biggest problems were the narrow low bars that kinda lacked in leverage and took away the ability to stand up. With some proper...

    Mileage and Issues

    You don't have to take it to the dealer you bought it from. Stay friendly with RPM, they should be able, if willing, to take care of you. Are there any other dealers in the area?

    SPEEDS CYCLE?

    Looks like, if I need warranty service, it is going to be a trip to Pennsylvania or Virginia When I had my Royal Enfield and I needed any warranty work, my dealer, 50 miles away, would give me the parts and I could do the work myself. i really never complained about the dealer being that far...

    Transmission whine 2013 V7 Special

    Mine used to whine fairly loudly all the time. After 16,000 miles it has quieted down a lot. I never worried much about it. It was't much worse than my Triumphs. Bare

    Can you ID this part?

    The screw is there to hold the rain cover to the bike via the tab. It stays attached even when the cover is opened to contain the seat. Page 82 in the owners manual. Bare

    Cold weather - Tire pressure Q

    +1 We ain't running MotoGP machines which tie pressures are usually much lower than what we run. My book says 36.3 psi is the recommended. Do you think you can keep it at 36.3 psi? Are they talking about after a ride or before a ride? Are they talking a hot day or a cold day, or is the pavement...

    2013 V7 Racer Intake and Exhaust Mods

    And to get back to the regular programming. My experience with unplugged O2 sensors was lousy gas mileage and numerous fouled plugs and getting to ride long distances on one cylinder to get home. I ride often anywhere from sea level to 8000 feet elevation. The problems mostly arrived with...

    Ride Sunday 10/05th?

    I went to the BSA Club ride meeting spot at Buchanons. Maybe a dozen guys showed up. The news of the day was that Glendora Ridge was closed, so the ride was going to go across on the bottom of the mountain to Mills then go up the mountain on Mt Baldy road. I passed on that and went home...

    Ride Sunday 10/05th?

    Westlake Village is supposed to be 97 tomorrow which I will betcha it shares most of that with Mullholland/Yerba Buena. Too hot for me. I'd love to be there, but the old bod just won't put up with that. Then there's the ride back home that'll cook me on the 60 from LA to the 57. Sorry guys...

    Ride Sunday 10/05th?

    Let me know when and where, but I'm not sure as I'm thinking about the BSA Club ride up to Glendora Ridge,etc, if the road is open. But it's closer and I really don't want to go too far if it's 100 degrees! But I'll keep a lookout for any changes. Bare

    Magnetic compass

    +1 Compasses don't like steel. You certainly couldn't put them on handle bar with any luck. Airplanes have a mag compass in them in case the DG (Directional Gyro) quits, but they also have a deviation card on them that shows you what direction your going as opposed the compass' indication. The...

    What the Kenda?

    I think the guy who installed you tires pitched the tubes by either getting them caught between the rim and the tire or with the tire irons. The tires aren't the problem, and the tubes, with only one use on them, should be fine, too. If the tubes are too big, They can show wrinkles, but you...

    Brake upgrade for '14 V7 Stone

    I put some EBC FA244HH front pads on my V7racer and they are a definite improvement over the stock Brembos. Better feel, not as soft feeling and don't make weird noises. Bare

    Ride this Sunday 08/03?

    I just got my bike back from the shop Sunday, so it would've probably not been possible anyway. But didn't see your post until today. Maybe next time! Bare
