2013 V7 Racer Intake and Exhaust Mods

Thanks for the update! How long would you say it went before you started seeing issues? A lot of your earlier posts seemed like everything was OK for a while
 
Resurrecting dead thread, as I have intakes and air-box removals and mapping on my mind now and it would be awesome to know how @corradooo got on in this case!

I am a longtime Guzzi enthusiast but this is my first time to post on this forum. I wanted to share some mods I have made to my new V7 Racer and the results thus far. Looking for any feedback from those that may have done similar mods and what they experienced.

I installed a set of Mistral mufflers and removed the stock air box. In it's place, I installed a K£N air filter pod. As expected when I fired it up the first time, It would not idle but actually ran pretty good by keeping on the throttle. No popping to speak of on decel and a lot more get up for sure. I plan to install a PCV and have it dialed in on a dyno.

Meanwhile, I was curious to see what would happen if I unplugged the O2 sensors. I really wasn't expecting anything good to come from it but I can't help but tinker with things that are probably better left alone when I find myself with a bit of idle time on my hands.

To my amazement, the bike settled into a very nice idle, a bit on the high side but not bad at all. No warning light came either, as I fully expected to happen. Ok, I am going to run down the road 2 or 3 miles to see what gives. To my amazement, It actually ran quite nicely with no flat spots, no popping on decel, great acceleration from stop to 5k RPM in all gears, returning to a nice idle when done. Absolutely unexpected on all accounts. Again, I have not done the PCV or Dyno yet.

Back home, looking at it and wondering what the devil is going on, I decided to take it out again for about 6-7 miles. Still unsure what is going on so taking baby steps. It again ran practically flawless and still no warning light. I don't get it but am pleased to say the least. I still plan to have a PCV installed and put it on the dyno to dial it in as there can't be any way that it is properly fueling in my mind, but it sure runs and sounds good like it is nevertheless.

Any thoughts or cautions/warnings would be greatly appreciated, especially regarding the O2 sensor disconnect.

Thanks,
Ron

Hi there can you tell me the part number for the k&n pod filter you used?
 
FYI - live in Toronto, and I have a 2016 V7ii mapped by Todd with free flow mufflers (non-stock). She runs great. I figure about a 5 -10% reduction in range. And that map will be on the bike for as long as I own it. Now to fix that horrible suspension!
