I got my '22 back from its first service at EuroCycles Sonoma. It was leaking oil so bad I had to trailer it back. When I picked it up I noticed it was missing the front brake light switch. loaned to another bike. Riding home 15 miles later the R. side exhaust was falling off for lack of the mounting bolt...Removed to replace a faulty rear wheel

Hello! I really liked your video. I have a question for you, is it possible to service MG without having a dealer, it's just that these are so unique and distinctive bikes that I just don't see an alternative to them? For more than a hundred years, bikes have been produced at the same factory, almost manually, who can "boast" about it now. Thanks!

I would suggest a couple changes! I wouold Never use pliers on the adjusters, use a small wrench, preferably a correct wrench-not an adjustable as was suggested. A bit of copper based anti sieze paste is highly recommended when installing any spark plug into an aluminum head; I would suggest putting some on those exhaust header threads where the pipes bolt to the head. I would also replace the rusty nuts with ss nuts. At about 7:55 this mechanic lets the wrench slip and almost dings the tank! that is not how to do it! I suggest putting the wrench on the nut and hold it down on the nut with your left hand, then give the wrench a bump with the open palm of your right hand. no risk of damage!

Does anything need to be done differently for the V7 850? Also, can you access everything using a center stand instead of a lift?

I have a 2018 V7iii Milano. Just purchased in June, 2023 with 680 miles on it. Now it's stalling frequently and rpms drop from 1500 to about 750 causing the stalls. Could this be a clogged fuel filter? Also, I get a big vacuum release when opening the fuel filler cap. Is that normal or the sign of improper venting?
@GTMotoCycles9 ай бұрын
Not likely, though your bike likely does have the half plastic filter. See the GuzziTech.com Forum V7 section for the "Tip/Evap" post.

If valve adjustments are suppose to be done on a cold engine and oil changes done with the engine warm how are you doing them at the same time.

We typically overnight drain fluids, valve lash next day. Our videos are often spliced together, but oil drain isn’t critical if not done hot.

As a retired auto and motorcycle mechanic, it's so refreshing to me to see things being done WITHOUT every single drain plug and adjustment and fastener being cranked on and off with power tools. I was beginning to think maybe that was forbidden in KZfaq videos? When did Moto Guzzi V7s get oil filters that can be changed without dropping the oil pan? That was always one of the main things stopping me from buying one.
@GTMotoCycles Жыл бұрын
Barry, we still mostly hand wrench in our workshop. The small blocks have had this style filter forever. The big block Guzzis have had easy access spin on/off filters since 2006 to current. They are magical machines.

Just a quick question: so, if I understand correctly, you only move te back wheel once to Top dead Center (TDC) as mentioned in the video point 3:36 minutes, then find TDC, now you don't touch the back wheel and check both intake and out take valve, and if needed, adjust. Is this correct?

Aren't some washers made of soft metal, and are made to be squeezed a bit to seal better? I believe some oil filters come with a new washer for that reason.
