MY experience with a Beetle map:- Smoother engine run at idle (Pete, Michael & I instantly noticed this the moment the bike was first started with the new map)- Improvement at lower revs (in city traffic)- Improvement at higher revs (when fanging it)- Smooth acceleration, in any gear, all the way to 7k- No notchy "happy" place in the rev range. Engine is happy to sit & cruise on any revs in any gear.- Smooth roll on/off with the throttle (no statchyness)- Improved start & go (but I still start it then put on my gloves & helmet. It's a habit, but also gives zero problems)- Zero 'warm start & go' bogging down issues - No noticible loss in mileage
I love the Beetle map. It shits all over the factory map I had.I wouldn't even mind a decal for the bike saying "BeetleMapped"
Those wire clamps - best off (& back on) with big long nose pliers; still awkward though. It gets easier (but not easy) with practice.
Yep. Real PIA. Make sure they are close to the end of the hose or you'll never get them back on.
GuzziDiag or any scan tool only tell you;1. If there is a fault that the ECM recognizes because the value of the circuit is so far out of wack that it sets a code. And then there is normally a check engine light to have earned you that you need to check the code.Or2. Maybe you can catch an obvious sensor value that's just a bit out of range, like an ambient temperature rating 20�F higher than actual temp or something like that.As for the hose clamps, bad news. They're "crimped" meaning they are use once, cut off (by sniping the crimp itself) and throw away.
Step1- I found the oil leak. The Y connector behind the starter was broken in the leg that drains in the sump. Where can I get another one of these babies? Can I get a brass one that won't break?
Back on, aren't those crimped???
The oil in the airbox is from blow-by. It's there because there is too much oil in the engine. You only need to fill it to about 75-80% full, otherwise it can get 'blown' into the air box. There are little spongy filters to soak up the oil, but they can only do so much.As for the poor starting. It's the fuel map. You should consider getting the update to the latest factory map, or seek a custom map. Don't despair, the V7 is a good bike. We can fix it for you. Despite what some say, there are many knowledgeable and helpful peeps on this site.
