I just downsized from a Quota to the Stone ll.Got home from dealer last night- can't wait to ride today. 2 readily apparent things; the owners manual is absurdly tiny and the print even smaller. Also, the bike is plastered w/stickers-anyone know how to remove them without scratching?Thanks

Heat with a hair dryer, then, carefully peal off.
Rub with a WD40 soaked paper towel to remove adhesive residue.
Congrats on your new V7!

Sounds easier than it is. Took me over an hour to remove mine, but that is how to do it. For the moment, I've left the yellow eni sticker that's on the right side of the gearbox (it was located on the starter motor on the left on my previous '13 Stone). I agree completely that the owner's manual is intended for young eyes. Can't wait to find a pdf version.

I'll second that vote for a .pdf copy of the owners manual.

It is tedious, but, it works w/o damaging the finish.

I told my girlfriend I would take her out for dinner if she took them off . . . . . she did and it was worth the expense!
She used a hair dryer and a credit card.

Congratulations!
As has been said, hair dryer, WD-40, credit card, paper towels--and patience. It took me well over an hour to remove the crap stickers from my Norge.

Now that's a "happy ending"!

Believe it or not, Olive Oil works well on stickers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBPDdlXuGL0
20+ years ago, it was the only thing that would take wall paper adhesive off of our walls. And what proper Guzzi owner doesn't have it in their house?

A new post about one of Guzzi's newest bikes and it's 90% about the stickers. ;D ;D ;D ;D

It's all in the interest of lowering curb weight :).
