General Discussion / Re: Neophyte V7 Mechanical Advice

Huh, wonder how many YTubers are in violation of your policy. I'm guessing somewhere around 99.9999999999999999 9999999999999999999 9999999999999999999 99999%

Personally I think its up to the user to determine if the content is clear with applicability and relates to what they are working on. I mean lets just look at your small block content do you go back and review all your posts to make sure all your content is clear with applicability. Give years and models, come back and update list periodically?

I guess there are a couple of schools of thought there.
#1
A large portion of the total number of reasons that our society is going down the toilet, is that people have developed a a sense of lack of accountability for their actions  and words. One would hope that the reason someone posts information, is to provide guidance to another who is lost, a lot of what I see on these You Tube presentations, is a display by someone who found something out yesterday and wants to tell the rest of the world about it today…
#2
If I was so clueless as to need guidance from a You Tuber, how would I possess the accumen to know if the information was on point or otherwise ?

The great man Albert Einstein was quoted as having said…
“If you cannot explain something clearly and succinctly
You probably don’t understand it yourself…”

Point remains the same. It's up to the Boober to make sure his/her content is clear with applicability. Give years and models, come back and update list periodically.

Granted it's also on the consumer to keep their eyes open but I put the majority of the children on the supplier of the tech info.

I am surprised that most of you even own anything.

I was just posting a price I saw and wondered what people were seeing in their areas. 

But this IS wildguzzi, with emphasis on the wild.   


Some of you all need to be haunting new rider forums and and teaching them your ways that are obvious to those of us on this forum.  Sheese.

If you look in service manual you'll see on outside of throttle body a round channel and a screw facing down looking underneath. Closing enriches it,opening leans it.  The co trim does affect some of the range in map. I use a ColorTune to set mixture & others use a meter up tail pipe. I have seen that number quite high and adjusted to tune FI. I set air bleeds at a set 3/4 turns out. Some came with that screw 1 1/2 out on V11's.

I had a V85TT really miss it, in 18,000 miles only issue was a sensor for engine sensor went bad , on a trip.  Ran great just had a light on the hole time.   V85TT is so simple to own and kinda old school, haven’t heard anything bad about the v100.   It’s a coin toss that you can’t lose!

   I thought boobers was a good thing?
  Really you should be able to see when a valve stops closing and has maximum clearance, that's when to check it.

FYI, in case you don't know that year needs the heads re-torqued and a full service at 600 miles. The rear end needs 5.4 ounces max in it or it will leak. All well documented here if you search long enough.

There are two Top Dead Centres one on the exhaust stroke on on compression, its the later you want.
As others have said the later V7s have an oil cooled alternator, don't take the cover off unless you have replacement oil on hand.
