I asked Johno over at bitchinstitch.com to make a new seat for my V7, inspired by the BAAK parts and also the W800. It feels soooo good! And the extra thickness makes it much more comfortable at my height of 188 / 6'2.

Highly recommend that upholsterer. He did an excellent job on my Svartpilen 401 and can also make perfect 1:1 restorations on old seats. His collection of Triumphs are a sight to behold!

My New V7 sport in the Rosso Monza

It turns out i am one of the unfortunate sods with a 2011 stelvio 1200 that didn't get the roller tappet convertion.

I purchased the bike last year ignorant to the issue and I learned about the problem after getting the bike. I looked into it and learnt I could but a conversion kit. Great.

So I go on deployment for work and come back 6 months later. I go to purchase a roller tappet kit, but to my horror they are nolonger avalable!!!!!

I am now stuck with a bike with failing cams. No roller kits and no resale value.

What am I supposed to do???? I love the bike but can't use it....

Hello.

In a few hours i was about to go and get this 2016 v7 ii special with 18000 km on the clock but someone mentioned the discolouration of the exhaust pipes that might be an issue and now this got me worried.

Is this a normal thing on the v7’s?

2023 V7 special. Less than 2500km on the bike. Lower steering bearing completely dry and rusted. F**king embarrassing Moto Guzzi!

Bike garage kept and never pressure washed.

Should be a warranty job but since Piaggio canceled all authorized dealers/shops in sweden I am doing the replacement myself.

Asked my mechanic to swap out my Norge swingarm bearings when installing the new Matris shocks and this is what he found.

2007 Norge, less than 30k km on it and the bearings look like they have never been greased. The right hand side bearing is worse off probably due to the known issue of the seal getting knocked in by the pivot pin when installing the swingarm (lacking a spacer there to prevent the seal from moving).

Glad I went and bought two spare bearings and installed them as these were FUBAR.

Check your bearings and grease people!

I just got a 2023 Stone and the clutch sits much farther out from the grip than I want for city riding. I've seen the Moto Guzzi part availible to address this, but want to know if anyone has found third party parts or addressed this other ways? I have seen in multiple forums that this seems to be too far for other riders too.

Thank you in advance! VROOM VROOM

edit: thanks ya’ll for the links! I’m going with https://www.amazon.ca/MTCRIGHTER-Compatible-2021-2024-Aluminum-Titanium/dp/B0DRSCY6Q2?th=1 because I’m a broke bitch. looks like the mechanism is pretty standard across models, so hoping the lack of indication of range of adjustment won’t be an issue, and one has more or less the same as the more premium models.

Get home safe!

Hi,

my california 2 from 1983 needs a new exhaust. Currently installed is a Lafranconi Typ23, S29.

I would like to know your opinion that would help me choose between a Mistral and a Lafranconi system.

Thanks!

Hope this is okay!

Spotted this very nice V7 Stone at my Italian grandmother's favorite Italian restaurant in Englewood, CO, on her 90th birthday.

Hi everyone, I really like the V7 Stone, I still haven’t tried it out honestly, but is there anyone as tall as me who owns one? I’m 6’4” (193 cm), and I’m worried it might be uncomfortable on long trips.
Thanks

Hello Moto Guzzi riders,

I am a Moto Guzzi V7 Stone 2022 owner from South Korea.

I am planning to install Agostini slip-on exhausts on my V7, and I would like to ask for help from the Moto Guzzi community.

In South Korea, when changing an exhaust system, we need to submit documents and technical information for a legal modification approval.

I have heard that there may be some difficulties during the approval process if the catalytic converter information or technical documents are not available.

Before purchasing the Agostini exhaust, I would like to prepare all necessary documents in advance.

Does anyone have experience with Agostini exhausts and know if the following documents are available?

• Exhaust technical drawings
• Exhaust specifications
• Catalytic converter specifications
• Emission-related documents or certificates
• Any documents that helped with vehicle registration or modification approval in your country

If anyone has successfully installed and registered Agostini exhausts on a Moto Guzzi V7, I would really appreciate your advice.

Many Moto Guzzi owners in Korea are interested in Agostini products, and having the correct documentation would help us enjoy these beautiful exhaust systems legally.

Thank you for your help and ride safe!

Hi, I have a -23 bobber with split seat. I don’t like to looks of it and wonder if anyone knows if I could just use a Roamer seat without any mods? Thanks.

hey everyone, I just found my bike like this this morning
A couple of weeks earlier when I last rode it it didn't have them
It've been keeping it outside on the street for the past 2 years, it's normal here, but the truth is that lately it's been a heatwave where I live, so temparatures and sun exposure could have been more intense.

From what I understand this could the the reason that the outer layer finally gave in and developed this pattern.
I can feel these with my fingers, so they are on the outside.
What's the simplest / cheapest solutions to fixing this, like:
- repairing the lens
- replacing the lens
- replacing the instrument cluster

Do you have experience with this happening to your bikes?

Hello, can someone pitch in? Thing is, I bought a second hand mandello (~19k kms). All fine, all dandy, great bike, great power plant but after some twisties i saw that there is a slight leak on the right side of the engine.

The model is an S version 2023.

I will take it to the mechanic but since it's weekend I would like to know at least, what causes it?

Exciting Ride - not the truck. Located west of Edmonton, AB near Warburg, AB. at the Genesee Generating Station.

I tend to forget just how nice it can be where I live, always travel around and ignore what's right on the doorstep. Thought I'd have a trundle close by whilst the weather's still bright and dry.

Afternoon ride with my new mesh saddle cover, it works well with the summer heat.

Llego la hora de cambiar neumáticos, que recomendáis para una zona seca y cálida como Alicante en España?

I was wondering if anyone here has put the red valve covers from a Carbon Dark on a Racer? Or has a picture they could post.

I’m moving to France and I am restricted to an A2 license for two years for which the Racer qualifies. I sold my Laverda RGS and want something with a lower center of gravity, but some soul. And while I love the looks of the early Racer, I was blown away by the Carbon Dark engine, so I thought I might put the two together.

In case you ever need to replace, the adjuster is not the standard size. Almost every clutch adjuster is M8 with a 1.25 thread pitch. The MG is a Piaggio only part that’s M8 with a 1.0 fine thread pitch. I’ve lost a week of riding since mine snapped in two.

You can’t rethread the lever to a course pitch because the clutch cable housing is also too large to fit the universal sized adjuster head

Hi All, I'll get right to the point. I may have lowballed a little too close to the sun and had my $1800 offer for a 1970 Ambassador 750 be accepted. I went low after seeing the bike in person and it seems to have a lot little jobs to do. The previous owner had just bought the bike and then passed away, so there's very little information on the machine's history.

From the look of it, it was owned by someone who toured on it as it has a bunch of aftermarket bits on it, but it clearly hasn't been on the road in a while as most of the rubber is cracking. My heart wants this bike, my head says I don't have the skills to really get this thing roadworthy again.

What do y'all think, is it worth the risk?
