Just an FYI, my V85 experience was Piaggio has finally stepped up their game and appears to be doing a good job with warranty / customer service. Warning though, don't bring it in with aftermarket exhaust or maps.
All things considered, that’s probably fair enough.

If anyone is interested in the MIU G3 looks like and does (ECU, throttle body, etc.), there is some good info here:

Thanks for posting that manual
I do note they still don't show the second coil in the starter solenoid, what is wrong with those guys?

Only felt right to post where it all started. AF1 reached out today ( stellar customer service) and informed me it is indeed the ECU that has been misbehaving and will be covered under warranty.

I’m honestly thrilled that AF1 got on the problem so fast and that it’s going to be fixed. Warranty is coming in handy and Piaggio has been really decent about the whole thing according to both dealers. I miss that motorcycle terribly. I’m afraid it’s quite a love affair.


What did I miss?  Last update was neutral switch replaced and bike running great.  Did you bring to AF1 just to reaffirm repairs or did it crap out again?  Thanks.  Great thread, by the way.

It crapped out bad. So Af1 meet me in Houston to pick the bike up and DaveDel helped me out big time trailering it to Houston. It started revving up for no reason and not acting right. Af1 is replacing the ecu as it’s determined to be faulty.
