General Discussion / Re: '01 EV vs. '04 Hydro

« Last post by jrt on Today at 10:26:31 PM »

I don't know whether this is relevant or important, but my '03 Hydro has adjustable front suspension, compression and rebound.  Does the other model?  More importantly- does it matter?

"Speedo jumps around a bit.  At 50 mph it'll bounce between 40 & 60.  Any ideas?"

Mechanical: Lube the cable and take-off gears.
Electronic: check and clean all wire connections, check for damaged wiring.

It could also be a damaged inner cable badly kinked

Now you just have to go back for the frame and Tinware to go with it.

D'oh! Thanks! 

Do you mean both are high or just the Hydro guy?

Unfortunately both. If you add in the travel costs to get either? But a fly and ride experience for the right bike is worth it if your sure it’s the one for you. Which you won’t know until you spend the seat time, unless you’ve ridden a similar bike for a couple hours, things like seating, peg, bar, and fairing or shield can be modified to fit you, and your needs. The suspension and handling is going to be fair to good and very similar on both bike in my opinion but also can be modified for you but at a cost. I’ve found that pulling a camper trailer, or relearning how to handle the side car, my mechanically stock EV has capabilities that I’ve never tested. We had to lower the front end and put shorter shocks on rear end of my wife’s 04 Stone so at 5’ 6” she can flat foot and actually made it more sporty. The Californias are a good base to start with and you’ll learn what you may or may not want to modify as you get to know the bike.

Preach it, brother. 

In addition to huge cost savings, I like being able to change tires on my schedule.  Not having to schedule around when a shop can get to it

Ooooo 49 HP  probably travels at the speed of stink 
How does that HP compare to other current V7s?

It compares as inaccurate.

49 was the crank HP of the MkI V7's

The MkIII and 850 models went up from there.

Maybe the improvements aren't about to make any of them pavement stompers, but then again no modern Guzzi is the king of the dojo so who gives a crap.

And don't listen to the douchebags. They are not just here saying stupid shit. You can find them all over the place.

But there are enthusiasts here and elsewhere who get what you're enjoying....

I just posted these on Swap meet!
They are brand new, tags still on them, never worn. I bought two sets when they finally got stock at RevZilla.
I've lost 75# since then so I gave away my worn ones. These are $100 and I'll pay the freight. Or, $80 and I'll meet you with them at TWO in N/E Ga. Look them up at RevZilla, or I'll send a pic to your phone. FYI, true to size.

CONGRATULATIONS on losing so much weight!  Good job!
