Just got it firing!
Hi everyone. New Guzzi V7 owner and guzzitech member here.
I purchased my first real motorcycle 4 weeks ago, a 2011 V7 Classic (2TB) with 8000 miles on the clock. I'm absolutely in love with the bike, and I've put over 2k miles on it already, we've had amazing weather here in the UK since I bought it. PO put some reverse cone megaphone mufflers on it and it sounds absolutely amazing, the best sounding bike I've ever heard for sure.
My only gripe with the it is that sometimes it will idle rough, usually when I'm sitting at a red light on a hot afternoon. Sometimes the engine will even cut out entirely which is obviously a bit of an issue. As soon as I am moving it runs perfectly as far as I'm aware. It also occasionally pops on the decel when I am really going for it, but nowhere near enoughthat it bothers me (infact I quite like it ).
Wondering if anyone can shed any light on this idling issue, I'm assuming it's to do with the exhausts making the bike run too lean at idle? If there are any fixes for this I would love to know.
Apologies if this has been posted before.
Thanks in advance, im proud to now be a guzzi owner and part of this community!
