Video

It's been years since I had a Guzzi in the stable, but I remember doing the valves was VERY simple, this video reminded me of that. Using a straw to determine top-dead center is a good idea, I used a chop stick or shish kabob skewer. I have a '23 V7 Special Edition, so this video will definitely come in handy. Also have a '24 V100 Navale, so not so much on that bike. But great video, easy to follow, plain language, nicely done!

Any chance you guys can do one for changing the drive shaft fluids?

I miss GTM GRISO videos….does this bike have the full PC /AT set up?

Guzzi and BMW twins - Thank you! - you make it so easy

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

Very cool.

Ciao Come hai tolto la.spia service c'è un metodo manuale

Would definitely rather do the valves on this one than my 650R 😅

Why not just remove the front cover of the engine, and turn the engine that way.

shit 10 years old what are my chances lol

show us the other side and a long view please. I'm wanting an underbody exhaust for mine.

Love the mufflers!!!

This has got to be the easiest bike to work on I've ever seen. This seals the deal, I'm getting a V7 Special.

hey toad, whats better Vtwinboost or beetle maps????

Got Beetle map?

Just needs a Vtwinboost or maybe a beetle map, right toad....

Word is you never sold it cause peeps know your a douche bag....

Would run better if you used a Beetle Map or a Vtwinboost... Or maybe a Rapid Bike tuner.........

Todd has some of the worst customer service in the industry. Go to his Guzzi Tech forum and see how he treat his members if they ask a question about Vtwinboost or Battle Maps...

Todd is ass hole! challenge him on his little forum and you see he's whinny little beatch. I see Rapid Bike parted ways with ya...

Stay away from this douche bag, go with AF1...

Just needs a VTwinboost to make it run right. Aint that correct Todd Egan...FUVC your Rapid Bike Evo, btw Rapid Bike Manned up and fixed my tuner, douche bag.

Big thank you for helping bikers working on their guzzis. You are a top man.

Are those wheels lighter than the originals and have you fitted the 17 inch front?

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!

Is this with the DB killers on?

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?

good job😊

What brand bars

What would happen if you never did valve adjustment? And how often do you need to do it ?

Use anti -seize on the plugs !

11:46 good job on spotting that over torque ...mechanic in too big a hurry or careless!

Excellent video. Other than the beautiful styling, the main reason I traded in my old Ninja 400 for a V7 Stone is the Guzzi's raw simplicity and ease of maintenance.

Beautiful build to this day! I just picked up 2020 V7 III Racer LE #4 and GuzziTech/GTM is a treasure trove of info and inspiration.

Excellent Info! 🙂

What engine oil, gearbox oil and shaft drive oil do you recommend please

Are you checking oil (at the end of the video) with the bike upright or on the side-stand?

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.

I have the v9 bobber and I'm wondering about performance and tuning options. I'm in the U.S. and don't speak Italian... I'm having a hard time

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 CZcams 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.

8 years into the future and it still sounds tight as hell.

I love these maintenance videos. It makes me consider buying one as o can then run it cheaply and properly. I hate money pits being working class on basic minimum wage

I got to hear my GTM slip ons today, they sound even better in person, didn’t ride home because of crappy Michigan weather. I am hoping soon!

OMG...heavenly music!

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.

.005 intake and .007 exhaust. Is that metric or standard (, inches,). Thank you
