General Discussion / Re: V100s on sale.

I am surprised that most of you even own anything.

I was just posting a price I saw and wondered what people were seeing in their areas. 

But this IS wildguzzi, with emphasis on the wild.   


Some of you all need to be haunting new rider forums and and teaching them your ways that are obvious to those of us on this forum.  Sheese.

Pretty much just like Stelvio cept airbox is on top not behind. Still has to come completely out.

If you look in service manual you'll see on outside of throttle body a round channel and a screw facing down looking underneath. Closing enriches it,opening leans it.  The co trim does affect some of the range in map. I use a ColorTune to set mixture & others use a meter up tail pipe. I have seen that number quite high and adjusted to tune FI. I set air bleeds at a set 3/4 turns out. Some came with that screw 1 1/2 out on V11's.

I had a V85TT really miss it, in 18,000 miles only issue was a sensor for engine sensor went bad , on a trip.  Ran great just had a light on the hole time.   V85TT is so simple to own and kinda old school, haven’t heard anything bad about the v100.   It’s a coin toss that you can’t lose!

   I thought boobers was a good thing?
  Really you should be able to see when a valve stops closing and has maximum clearance, that's when to check it.

FYI, in case you don't know that year needs the heads re-torqued and a full service at 600 miles. The rear end needs 5.4 ounces max in it or it will leak. All well documented here if you search long enough.

There are two Top Dead Centres one on the exhaust stroke on on compression, its the later you want.
As others have said the later V7s have an oil cooled alternator, don't take the cover off unless you have replacement oil on hand.

Got a map from buggy installed. Took it for a 50mile or so ride. Got home pulled the brand new plugs and they look a little on the white side. The map along with the TPS reset and wiping the auto learning parameters dramatically lowered the amount of decel popping.
Not quite sure where to go from here. I want to fix the white on the plugs as I'd rather have the bike run on the rich side vs lean. Does adjusting the CO trim enrich or lean out the fuel and in what direction should I go?
The Lambda sensor should be off now per the map Buggy gave me. Is that what you mean by "O2 shut off"? How do I close the "air bleed"?

That's it, non adjustable. That means if the Breva map you got may need more fuel in map, it will be richer with the O2 shut off. You can also close the air bleed to richen up bottom end. But they should be around 3/4 turns open.
 If O2 is off you may be able to adjust idle mixture, got to look. Have fun, get the cables.

Read & understand, it's not too bad---------------------------------------------

General Discussion / NorgeGT clutch replacement.

« Last post by theoneandonlymin on Today at 03:06:01 PM »

I've done a quick search here but not found anything.

Just looking at my NorgeGT with view to replacing the clutch. It's at 65000 miles and making a lot of noise. I'd rather get in there for a look/ replacement after a close call with my Stelvio where a spring was making an escape and rubbing on the gearbox.

So, having done the Stelvio it looks easier to remove and replace the engine/ gearbox.
What pitfalls will I encounter ?



Cheers
