Thks. You're the only person I've found who mentioned the fuel filter and air filter. Dumping the EPA stuff might get you into a fix if you go to a shop for a service call, but I agree with you re: the uselessness of the item on a motorcycle. The tires, that has many factors; maintaining correct air pressure, driving style, road conditions, weather, temperature, et al. I use whatever I need, but chagne them often, but you'll never get enough miles out of motorcycle tires; besides, there's safety issues to consider. Motorcycles are even more expensive now than cars, for no discernible reason. Stick with the old style bikes. The new electric multifunction stuff is too hard to work on unless you've got all the tools and support of factory manuals.

Over here in UK we have super bright headlamp bulbs, up to plus 200% brighter (four times brighter) and solve the problem of riding in rural areas with no street lighting at night. Actually +150% is more than adequate and +200% too bright to adjust your eyes between dip and main. Using a LED has issues in that they may not use the reflector and the beam shape is horrible and useless.

@jeffslade1892 Жыл бұрын
Before changing the front suspension change the fork oil, it's what regulates the plunge and bounce. A thicker grade provides more damping. The Guzzi tail is usually set hard but behaves best set soft on the preload. When set hard it rebounds too quickly. We don't want it to wallow, which is the damping, but nor do we want it to hammer our backside. When set right the V7 will soak up bumps and potholes on bends that will have a sports bike bouncing and sliding.

Research done by Gordon Jennings the Technical editor at Cycle years ago showed that OE paper air filters were most effective at filtering. It was interesting that paper filters became even more effective with some use. OE oiled foam was second best. K&N were a distant third in filtering effectiveness. They could work well enough IF they are frequently serviced; that is cleaned and oiled with the specific 'sticky' K&N filter oil. A K&N left for an extended period without service (dry) does nothing. Some folks think that a good filter doesn't get dirty as fast; so it will last longer and save money. Where is the dirt going?

I do agree with your suggestions except the K&N filter.....not a big fan of K&N. the filtering ability is questionable, horsepower gains are minimal and many air flow sensors have been destroyed due to the filtering oil messing with the film. Tuning for such a filter and open exhaust is necessary as these bikes are running super lean.
@jeffslade1892 Жыл бұрын
@@tedmarakas2626 K&N and others such are oiled cotton. Don't fit for more power or greater air flow but that they continue to work when choked with grit or soaking wet full of mud. The Stokes oiled cotton filter was introduced for dessert conditions for this reason. As for air flow, the motor can only pull as much air as it can breathe. We get greater air flow because the oem paper filter is normally choked up, when brand new the paper filter passes just as much air. The Marinelli can "learn" from an air flow sensor with a choked filter, when fitting the new filter, do an ECU reset.
@tedmarakas2626 Жыл бұрын
@@jeffslade1892 I actually got educated on the K&N filter and I DO AGREE that they are awesome. In fact I outfitted them on all my bikes. Regarding the ECU reset, that's a great idea and had my ECU reflashed due to an update. Id didn't notice any different gains and the idle is still a bit shaky. When cold it runs much better. When hot....well the bike doesn't like hot and traffic. When the bike moves, it feels fine. Thank you about the ECU reset tip, Im sure that others can find the information useful.

There are a few comments about air filters here and I want to point people to a reliable source of information on this . Beg , buy or borrow a book by David Vizard on tuning the original A Series Mini ( maybe find a video on youtube made by David on the subject ) . Mr Vizard did comprehensive tests on K and N filtration in his quest to increase all the advantages he possibly could ( the Mini having a small CC engine needed all the little gains , which add up to significant totals ) as well as over boring , turbos , etc . He used proper flow meters and dynamometers in his testing and published his work in magazines . His cars won races and attracted sponsorship ; he became the most respected Mini expert and moved to California , where he still does research , to work on race motors , usually big American motors , and contract testing for the major USA car companies . I will save you some time if you believe me ...... K and N filters do give the motor better breathing and yes you have to oil them , lightly . He will tell you a Dakar race motor can breathe fine with a quarter of an inch of dust stuck to the outside of a K and N filter . If you do not believe , go read his book and come back and apologize ! Just saying .

Typically paper filters are wonderful compared to cotton filters like K&N ...I am talking about keeping DIRT out not getting more air....Sure if you just want more power then a cotton filter with no oil will get substantially more air and coupled with jetting /mapping and free flowing exhaust it could really be a nice bump ....but just KNOW that you do NOT have a good air cleaner! Stay AWAY from any dusty environments! Me I love to travel the unpaved roads and would NEVER EVER EVER run an unoiled K&N type (cotton) filter! EVER! I personally wont even use em oiled! OEM paper is generally a fine filter! Or oiled foam if its full on dirt bike. But I imagine Guzzis are hurting in the power department compared to more modern motors so I too would probably be trying to get more power if I buy one....There is something so cool about Guzzis! Always have wanted one! Maybe if I look for one I will focus finding such that have reworked suspension and all the other mods needed....turn key!

@richardfinetto5535 25 күн бұрын
So sorry my fellow Moto Guzzi enthusiast. But you’re telling people to get hard tires for Moto Guzzi. V7 is misleading. Yes hard tires get more mileage than soft tires. The reason why the engineers at Moto Guzzi pick the Perelli sport demons is because they want you to have maximum traction and stay up on your tires. Once you learn how to ride your motorcycle, you’re gonna want to go back to soft tires. So on my Moto Guzzi I personally replace the tires myself and I do it about every 3000 to 4000 miles. I would not put any other tire on this motorcycle then the ones that came with it when I bought it. I ride my motorcycle to work every day. I have full confidence when leaning into turns that my tires are going to grab the road and hold. I couldn’t imagine riding with hard tires in the rain… So yes, your upgrade for crash bars is needed with those hard tires.

@@richardfinetto5535 thanks for the input and low level sarcasm as well. I’m no expert never claimed to be one. All I said it came from research and my own experience. Your mileage are varying? That’s fine. Ride what you love and how you love it. I found that Demons suck, never felt secured and while downshifting from 3rd to 2nd the rear tire would skid. Never happened with conties… so again, to believe that manufacturers think of you and not their bottom line is naive to say the least. Have a better one and stop being a dick online.

Better rear shocks from Ohlins, a Mistral exhaust without buffler and a power commander, thats the best three things to change on this motorcycle.

Mistral over agostini 😱😱😱 Never 😎 and if you change the rear shocks before the front ones, you just an amateur who repeats what is been said all over internet 🥱🥱🥱

K&N filters Bah! waste of money. Evap cannister removal - more stupidity. Non factory LED headlights may not be legal in some countries and are not legal in UK and will be MOT failure.

Nothing is legal in UK. Once a great country became a shithole, few good people tho. I’m surprised they still let you ride motorcycles there. 😂

The EVAP is what? You have no mechanical background. Try to read about it, do a test.

I did. Is any point you trying to make? Or just detoxing? Thanks for watching. 🤙🏼

I have a V7 III, and removed the evap canister almost immediately. Briefly, there's a hose from the tank down to the evap canister mounted under the frame, about between the footpegs (perfectly placed to interfere with a stand!). Then there's vacuum line from the canister to the intake manifold. This presents negative air pressure to the tank to suck out fuel vapor, trap excess in the canister, and feed it into the intake. There's a relief valve (the small plastic disk in the video) which prevents too much vacuum in the tank. Except it frequently doesn't work, causing negative pressure in the tank. In my case enough to interfere with the fuel delivery and potentially damage the fuel pump. Also of course causing the "gasp" when you open the filler cap. No need to do a test, if it's not working properly, it's obvious! Easy removal as described on the guzzitech thread link.

I know what it is and I do have mechanical background .....It's absolutely useless contraption. It only "saves the world" when you overfill the tank and petrol goes on the road instead in the charcoal canister.

@@mickeystanic4750 Yes, but that is secondary purpose. The EVAP system uses the fumes to power the engine partially. It gives better mixture, steady idle rpm, inject vapors on accelerating, saves fuel in hot weather. Any gasoline engine can run only on vapors. Any new car has EVAP for the reason.

Great list. I have aV7III and love it. However in over 50 years of riding I have never had a bike that benefitted so much from needed upgrades. Demon tires should be removed immediately. They are bias ply and very stiff. I use Road Attack 3. The bike has great handling once the suspension gets sorted, but certainly needs it. Damper rod forks are wallowy and non compliant. Hard to believe that a company still uses such antiquated system. It is readily fixed for about $600 with drop in cartridges from Matris or Andreanni. The and rear suspension not quite as bad but still needs upgrading. I put Nitrons on and the suspension components are from Fast Bike Industries in North Carolina. A Guzzi should have engine guards and I put on factory ones that saved my bike from a lot of damage on a drop.

Is this why I can't make my bike soft? I honestly didn't know this. Too bad I have just installed a new set of Dunlops, and yes, I don't like them. Bobber tires are mostly made of Bias Ply construction and frankly I haven't seen any radials available for my V9.
