@buckymoto1784 cheers I've got the standard on mine but yours looks a nice size. How are you getting on with it

@danbettney3097 I too had the standard screen when new, but was getting a lot of buffeting. I got the screen first which fixed 80% of the issue. The little tank winglets that sit inside the fork cutouts fixed the rest. Now I can sit at 85mph on m/way with no issues

@buckymoto1784 spot on I think I'm going get a screen ordered

@@salihkocak7205 when you purchase the T800 module you get 1x free map, which you download from upmap ton an app on your phone 📱

@@buckymoto1784thanks for the response. Last question: is there different maps for stock exhaust and after market exhausts (such as mistral, zard, leo vince, agostini) or one map to rule them all? i have stock exhaust right now and i am planning to ride the bike this way for like a year. Then i will switch to mistral or zard. is it wise for me to install a suitable map for my bike now or should i do it with the exhaust? Thanks a lot

@salihkocak7205 there are 4x maps. An OEM standard system map, which is supposed to be better than the boost plug. Then a map for standard exhaust with aftermarket muffler then 2x full decat exhaust maps.

@@Martin_Hewitt The front is still on. With 10k on it. The rear I think was changed to dunlop Trail Max raid at 5k for the euro trip

@@Papanchasonline loved it. I was glad it was dry and not wet

@@itsallabouttheridekeepingi4449 I didn't really upgrade to the Upmap from standard becasue I wanted to, it was more because I had too.. Decat ting the exhaust and having the storm muffler meant it ran terribly on the standard mapping. Even though the V85 ecu is a learning one. It just couldn't sort out the current setup, so I bought the Upmap.. Benifits of the map.. More power, crisper, sharper, more torque. Mpg lost a few. Whwre I do think it shines is in overtakes. And slow msnoivering when I'm off road. The standard map used to have what we call kangaroo petrol.. It would surge a lot, which is not what you when riding technical lanes.. Now it's just smooth & Powerful

@@buckymoto1784 thanks for a detailed reply, I did sort out the low RPM “ surge “ that they all seem to have due the emissions crap with the V- boast ( but iv recently noticed since doing the decat that after riding say for an hour , if I stop the bike and then start again, like straight away the bike will surge for 30-1 minute before it clears ? , not sure if this is an ecu thing or if it’s say a bad plug ? put new ones in yesterday and will test today . The old ones did look fine . Maybe I need the upmap , I know you had some trouble with your bike prior to a trip ? , what was the issue their ?

@itsallabouttheridekeepingi4449 I had a couple of issues happen at the same time. The 1st and worst one was the throttle potentiometer died. Meaning the bike was in perminent limp mode. A new set of oem heated grips fixed that issue. The 2nd longterm issue I had was what I thought was a cold start issue becasue it started the issue in winter time. But as I got into the warmer months it still remained. This issue was the bike wouldn't keep running when I started it from cold. It would take 3-5 attempts to get it to stay running. Then it would run very lumpy for 2-3 mins and eventually run OK. Then if I stopped during a ride for an hour lunch, the bike would refuse the run for 3-4 attempts.... So after that longwinded answer the issue sorted itself out after I ride around Europe in 30+deg air temps and hammering motorways for 3 days straight at 85mph.. I can only now guess that it was damp ingress into a wiring harness or harness plug that dried out. 🤷‍♂️ It now starts on the 1st attempt and runs beautifully.. Unfortunately the only way you will know if the Upmap will work is buy one. But you will notice a nice change in the bike if you do 👍🏻 Here is a link to a YT I uploaded but it's not for public viewing only sharing. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYimaZaKhadke9Esi=s6xC0mDoniS6vmxi

@@PepeDeYork1 It's the Pyramid Plastics Ermax screen (smoked)

The throttle issue turned out to be the Potentiometer in the throttle. I purchased a new set of OEM heated grips which fixed the issue. As for the weird starting issue I had had since the previous Christmas, this must be damp getting into wiring plugs, because 3 days into out euro trip when the temps got up to 30+ and we hammered motorways for 3 days straight this seemed to fix the issue and the bike has run & started like a dream since July

@@buckymoto1784 happy for you there is nothing worse than small recurring breakdowns that we cannot identify quickly. I have two motorcycles a YAMAHA 250 WR R from 2010 that I prepared for raid and an AJP PR 7 (to replace my T 700 Ténéré sold) that I bought in September 2023 my driving is oriented off road engaged in raid in Morocco, SPAIN, PORTUGAL, FRANCE. I am interested in the MOTO GUZZI V85 tt to travel two over long distances ... reliability is a priority for me. in France, there are new 2024 models on clearance at €9,300 and 2019 models between €5,000 and €7,000 there is a lot of choice I am waiting, winter is approaching and sales will be difficult, maybe I will sell my 250 WR R and go for the V85 tt

@@atprodT700 Tbh I don't use the tracking around trees.. Don't fancy wrecking a £1000 drone.. I tried once and it clipped a branch. Luckily it was able to stay up. It was in winter though and the trees had no leaves.. As for tracking at speed 30mph is it's max for keeping up. If you accelerate hard it will loose tracking.. But as you can see in the video it will pick up the rider even if they go out of frame as I did. It didn't start following the other riders. But waited on me.

@@buckymoto1784 yes that's what I saw on the video. THE SKYDIO has incredible monitoring but not imported into Europe (it is still possible to import it as an isolated item) but much too expensive (very high customs fees in France) for occasional use (the sale of new ones has stopped I think).

@@deusexmachinawl I totally Agree 👍🏻. This bike has given me some serious headaches. But I'll never sell it. Because when I start it and head off on a ride. This bike makes me smile and feel good. Check out my ASMR of the bike with a full decat, muffler and Upmap.. 🔊 😊 Thanks for stopping by and watching my video.

@@psalwasser 🤣 They even self diagnose and fix themselves. I had what I thought was a cold starting issue since Christmas last year. Where the bike would take 3-5 attempts at starting. Press the start it would start then die. 2nd press it would start run for 10 secs /die. 3rd press. Start run for 30 secs die. 4th press / run but be very lumpy. But maybe keep running. And after 60 secs or so you would audibly hear it smooth out and run normally. When riding it would feel normal. BUT.... if I stopped for an hour it would give the same cold start issue.. But then as summer came round here in Northern Ireland. It still did the same thing so it wasn't cold issue... Anyhow as we travelled down through France in the High temps of Italy etc as we got to the mother ship. The next day and every day after that the bike has started perfectly 🤷‍♂️🤣 I now belive that damp had got into a wiring plug and the extreme heat from the motor and 38deg air temps dried it out.

@@buckymoto1784 I am picking up chatter about the cold start sensor. and possible disconnecting it. my dealer is calling piaggio and is getting back to me about this condition.

@@psalwasser I'd love to hear what they say also... Where is the sensor located?

@@buckymoto1784 just caught post that its the cold start sensor, but I dont know where it is connected, but its probably in the heads or near the combustion. will update after I hear from service manager this week.

I have seen other videos that people say they are treacherous in the wet

@@markschmitz8575 I tried returning the bike back to standard, including putting the catalyst back on and installing the original map. In the end it was the throttle potentiometer that was broken. A new set of heated grips fixed the running issue and dash lights. As for the bad starting issue. This is down to damp getting into a wire or connector. Because riding in Europe for 16 days of 30+deg temps dried it out and the bike started perfectly every day and continues to run perfectly every day with All modification back on the bike before I went to Europe. Check out the MOTORCYCLE NIRVANA video and you will see how great the bike runs with all the mods.. 👍🏻 Thanks for stopping by.. 👍🏻

@@flat6fever680 Agreed, now I have worn out the rear. I ended up trying a Dunlop Trail Max Raid on the rear this time. Amazing road tyre and very good in off road. The TKC80 front now has 9k miles on it and is still not worn out

@@niczek123 Skills 🤣 I have always clutchless shifted up gears on all my bikes over the years. Because of the knobby rear I need to blip on the down shift or the rear skips.

@@buckymoto1784 having v85 and knowing how the gearbox works i thought its not possible to go though the gears clutchless :) . How do you recon your machine is more powerfull over the standard one (ori soft and exhaust) ? Im asking because it climbs very impressive

@@niczek123 The gearbox has got better with more miles. (smoother, less clunky) As for the power of the bike, it is very good. Upmap claim a rise of 7-9whp. Which I do notice. I mention it in the video on the second long straight of the "road nirvana" sector that the bike was struggling a little on power. Due to the high altitude at that point. Also consider I am. 92kilo and also have 50kilo of luggage on knobby tyres.

@@buckymoto1784 and probably significant increase in Nm also. That is noticable for sure specially in mountains. Euro5 doesnt allow the engine to breathe and probably it gets high temperature due to pour fuel mixture. But nevertheless its a lovely bike ;)

@@WWTD-db8li Thank you

Is this the Catalyst you are asking me about (The big heavy box under the bike motor?)

@@buckymoto1784 no sorry the evap canister

@@lambo2817 If you are handy with Spanners it is relatively easy. You have to remove the tank which is the hardest part of the operation.

I found the answer: Throttle potentiometer. Quite interesting..

The Throttle Potentiometer was broken in the throttle. Which was why the throttle wasn't working. As for the bad starting issue, this must have ben moisture in a wiring harness or plug somewhere on the bike. £days into our Euro Trip which was 30+deg must have dried everything out which meant the bike starter perfectly every day. and now I have ben home for 6 weeks the bike still continues to run and start perfectly every time

@@muerdelavida Thanks for stopping by.. I am not sure of the names, but the way I did it was draw around me this then gave me a couple of options. AUTO OR PARALLEL.(also think there was a 3rd option of POI) I chose Auto. Then I just set off and the drone did the rest. I never touch the screen while riding and I did look down a few times as this was the 1st time I had used it and was checking yes if it was still following me.

@@lambo2817 it was the Throttle potentiometer. I purchased a set of oem heated grips which fixed the issue. Bike running like a dream now.

@@glennmorganfilms The pro 4 has proximity sensors around it which is supposed to sense it's environment. Imagine a 20ft bubble around the drone.. This is the drone on full Autonomy mode.

@@niczek123 Thankyou for the comment. I didn't have any knocking as my bike has a full decat system fitted which helps the heat get away from the motor.. Instead of the original exhaust which tries to keep the heat to burn off gases

@@buckymoto1784 Probably its a good idea to let the motor breathe. But then the new map is needed and you have to trust the map is made in the way it shoud be just not to bring any other bad things to the motor
