New Moto Guzzi Door Mats Available Now
Maps are not linear.No modern motorcycle comes out "lean" across the board. It's only lean during specific operating conditions (idle and mid-range at steady throttle). It can be anywhere from fine to pig rich in the rest of the range.
Anytime you make changes to the intake or to the exhaust side of these engines, a fuel map alteration is most certainly needed. I don’t know if Piaggio has a downloadable fuel map when dealers replace intake or exhaust parts. If they do not, I would absolutely, positively, highly recommend you get your bike on a Dyno with a competent tuning technician.A lean running motorcycle, made more so by opening up the intake and/or the exhaust just further leans out the engines performance. This is absolutely not a good thing for an air cooled motorcycle engine.....
I put Agostini shorts, air filter and deleted the SAS on mine. Ran OK after the mods, before the UpMap.After the UpMap, it runs SOOO nice. Much smoother
Just about every motorcycle comes out of the crate running EPA lean. That means, the fuel map from the factory is designed to pass emissions. It is absolutely not intended to improve the life, the longevity or the performance of the engine.

This is absolutely not a good thing for an air cooled motorcycle engine.Getting your ECU fuel map retuned by a competent tuning technician is the best option. If that’s not available, adding something like a Power Commander is the best second option. I would absolutely not recommend a “tuning plug“ that’s available for some motorcycles. The reason being, those just add fuel throughout the entire fuel map. That is absolutely not the recommended way to efficiently tune an engine.Many may not support the idea of adding a power commander or an aftermarket tune to their motorcycles. My suspicion is they’ve either never ridden a properly tuned motorcycle of the same make and model they think runs well from the factory. Or, they simply don’t fully understand the need and/or the process. I haven’t owned a motorcycle that hasn’t had aftermarket tuning for decades. All of my motorcycles have modified intake, modified exhaust and aftermarket fuel tuning. The difference from stock to done correctly is literally the difference between night and day.If you like the bike and you’re going to keep it for any length of time, do right by it (and yourself) by getting it properly tuned. Adding aftermarket mufflers without making any adjustment is simply not good enough.
Howdy yall, I recently had some agostini short pipes installed on my v7 2024 with the help of the lads down at cadre cycles. I am a little worried about the v7 running too lean and was wondering if I should get an upmap for my bike or leave my mapping stock
How would you describe how the bike is running in its current form?
Was there an large increase in fuel usage
Someone needs to send you Beatle’s contact info. He may have just the map you need sitting on his hard drive.
Per the latest posts on the Beetlemaps facebook page, the V7-850 is not yet supported.
