I've only had the V7 for around a month . Very happy, she has soul! Either cruising around or thumping along the hwy. I feel cool on this bike. She elicits the same response as a teenager thrashing around and feeling alive. Although apart of her unique  alive personality the choppy power down delivery , jolting and vibrations left desire for improvement. Did alot of reading about Guzzidiag. Made sure I need what I was doing. Ordered the gear , did some tests and confirmed with mark that the OG map was backed up, before hitting the "Flash" button. Wow. She is now smooth as butter all the way through the rev range. I can burble around at 20kph in first or second without any flat spots or jutter, the power delivery revs out alot smoother, she is happier and smoother at higher revs and there is no vibration at higher rpm. Before the remap when at speeds of 100km/h the engine didn't seem that happy ( overall unhappy and grumbly);now at 100kph even in 4 th gear she is singing . Still more out of 4th ...Another spurt to 120 in 4th before changing to 5th with increased torque. There is less engine braking and complaining on descel. Still some back popping but only quite ones and I like them tbh. Overall my expectations where well exceeded and this engine is now very happy and singing. She has had her potential opened and the rev s out with more torque and power. Glad I did this change, I was slightly sceptical but damn I'm amazed . Thanks Mark  :bike-037:

I just did my 16 V7II. I had thought it was as good as it could be. Boy was I wrong. Best money I ever spent on the v7II.
I'm going to do my 17III when I get back to Georgia.

Do you have exhaust on your bike or is it bone stock?  I've also got a 2014 but with Agostini mufflers with the baffles in.  I've bought 3 maps from Mark and play around with them each year. Sometimes I think I can tell the difference and other times I'm not so sure. I should spend a bit more time dialing it in this year.

I have staintune pipes, so I went with the no cat no db killers map. Still have to warm up a bit before chugging off otherwise gears are a bit rough and sometimes she can stall. Still have a decent amount of decel popping but they are quite ones...silent and deadly. Only thing I did was upload map then auto relearning. No throttle relearning as mine was already at .9. wasn't sure if I was to reset auto relearning before or after uploading map, so went with after map upload. I'm a bit afraid to do any more tinkering around like a monkey pulling a wrist watch apart haha

Same here-  a Beetle map was the best money I've spent on my daughter's V7ii.  It's a fine bike, and based on limitations in the design, I didn't expect any more power of it.  What we got was a bike that simply runs as it should.  Maybe better than it should.  Well done, Mark.
