The check engine light coming on on any bike whether brand new or not should never be ignored as it could end up being a terminal situation and probably would have cancelled out your warranty had you not complained about it. As for the time it took to be fixed, that is deplorable. You did the right thing to complain to the dealer about it. Glad it was eventually sorted out for you.
@borderlands66063 ай бұрын
What's annoying is when dealerships treat a complaint as if you are the only person in the world who has come across the problem, when the internet is full of people saying the same thing. The correct response should be we know of the issue, keep riding the bike and if there is a engine problem, we've got your back. They won't, in the off chance there is a real engine management flaw.

I had the same check engine light come on my Euro5 2021V85TT Centenario when I went to overtake and go into the higher rev range, but luckily when it went in for its annual service the software upgrade was available and sorted the issue and improved the lean fuelling as well, anyway can’t believe the negative comments you received for saying the way it was!

No doubts, a brand new product should work from day 1. Only bananas are allowed to mature after arrival at the customer's place. I picked up a brand new V7 Corsa 4 weeks ago. I experienced strong vibrations not correlated to the engine speed. The dealer found some problem with the front tyre and replaced it. That didn't solve it. I suspected the joints in the drive shaft, since the vibrations were the strongest at zero power, or running down a hill with pulled clutch. I'll go pick it up tomorrow after the first service, and the mechanic said it was the rear wheel rim that caused the problem. I guess there was some issue with the transport, even though I live only 250km from the factory. In addition, the high beam was flickering on the highway in heavy rain. I sincerely hope that was all, and it will now work flawlessly.

The service ‘spanner’ light came on my then-new 850 Stone about 100 miles into my holiday to Cornwall , not long after picking the bike up. I stopped, rang the dealer by the side of the road, they told me not to worry about it and they’ll turn it off at the next service. So you’re not alone. Turns out my bike was fine, just the light telling me there’s a fault…was at fault. Your next bike? Lighter than the BMW 1250, built for touring…if I was being facetious I’d suggest a V85TT or Mandello. Or maybe I’m just one of those fanboys?! Whatever it is, good luck with it and keep posting 🏍️

I had a new V7 and owned it for just over 3 years. Under warranty I had 2 electrical problems fixed. Just out of warranty the rev counter needle fell off. Also on one service they upgraded my ECU for free which made the bike a little more sporty, but made the throttle response jerky. I part exchanged the bike for an Interceptor 650 for very little money and have had no problems at all with it in 4 years. I loved the V7 and had always wanted to own a Guzzi. Unfortunatley I won't buy another Italian bike as my Aprilia Pegaso 650 broke down up a mountain in France and I had to fly home.

I bought a used 2018 V7iii Milano with only 700 miles on it. According to the dealer, it was bought new by one of their service techs. Soon after I bought it, the check engine light came on. Took it back and they diagnosed it as a faulty oxygen sensor in the left exhaust pike. They replace this (at my cost since the bike was out of warranty), and the light went out. The bike has also had problems of intermittent stalling for no reason at a stop, and intermittent start button not working. Both very frustrating and dangerous conditions since, on several occasions, the bike stalled at a busy red light and I could not re-start it! Haven't decided yet if I'm going to keep it or not, but it will be hard to sell with these unresolved issues, so I feel stuck with it at this point.

I seriously thought about a V7 (no chrome) as a first big bike in the last couple of months. I passed my Mod tests on a 750gs so ended up that route as would still be looking half way thru 2024 before I settled. BUT... my heart was really wanting a 2024 V85TT. So maybe in a couple of years when I retire, that may be the bike for me. I love my BMW but I feel the MG would have been a little less aggressive attitude without quickshifter and in a different class. I really hope the buyer views your stuff online and really appreciates your positivity. If it were me i think I'd find peace in this. Who wouldn't be peed off buying something and then having an issue with it. It's only natural. Those negative folks saying other things obviously have been blessed to have no issues with anything in their lives to date. It takes an edge off a perfect experience and that's what you don't want.

I fully agree that you should make the distinction between the bike (or car) and its brand. I own a Tesla and I don't agree at all with Musk’s opinions. But the car is fantastic, I enjoy driving it every day. So, yes, the V7 will certainly replace my old 19 yo BMW. If I find a dealer...

New bikes not giving access to the error codes is a real problem, I have a friend with a v85tt that has a similar issue, this is an adventure style bike for going on long journeys and suddenly you have no idea why the engine light is on, therefore another trip back to the dealer to check what code it's displaying, only to be told it's a throttle response issue or a oil pressure issue or a cruise control fault, all of which are no longer present. Therefore all confidence in the bike is lost and the round the world tour is on hold for ever as these issues are not likely to ever get fixed as they are so intermittent. For me new bikes have become overly complicated, in the old days the only light you would ever see is the oil light, no other warnings at all. The only way around this is to buy an obd2 reader and even that can't reset the engine light, it will just tell you what error you have, unless you pay out over £300 for a specific piaggio one. Manufactures need to at the very least offer a diagnostic on the bike to display the error severity, so at least you know if the bike is ok to continue riding. I love Moto Guzzi but they are really not convincing me to buy a new one anytime soon, along with this issue is the constant changing of dealerships that can service them. My guess would be you are buying the V100.
@GixxerRider19912 ай бұрын
@Paulcooper5610 You can tell the severity of an engine light by common sense and reasoning. If you're not hearing any abnormal noises and the bike is otherwise running fine, fluids are at proper levels, etc. it's very likely not serious. If the engine sounds like a roll of quarters in a washing machine, or it If can't stay running, it's time to phone a friend or a tow truck. Long distance touring is a game of no guarantees. If you're not prepared to be broken down on the side of the road for any number of reasons, you have no business setting out in the first place. I agree that dealers should make it easier for riders to read codes, but how will that help you when you're in the middle of nowhere?

@@CGRidesMotorcycles Modern sensors & software that sample everything thousands of times a second will probably generate codes that aren't an issue to the engine or won't be noticeable on a dyno and definitely impossible for the rider to notice. But as you say, an engine fault light will impact the value at resale, especially a sale to a private buyer. Personally, it wouldn't bother me ... if the oil pressure is good (and why wouldn't it be?), the spark plugs are showing a good colour and the engine pulls well through the rev range (under acceleration or just cruising), then I wouldn't hesitate to buy the bike. Why? Because it's one of the BEST LOOKING Guzzis ever made (colour scheme, chrome accents) and it should just keep on keeping on. If the human body was a machine, it would be showing fault codes all the time :)

Not sure where your coming from, kind of contradicted yourself really, got rid of a pocket rocket to get a modern classic that you can still enjoy, now going back to a pocket rocket 🤔🤔?? I have an Interceptor, but quite like the Guzzi though. 😊

How did you install the gopro controller on the awkward bar clamp? I'm looking to get a Beeline Moto 2, but not sure where to install it. That clamp would be ideal

It has a velcro strap - it’s designed to go on your arm, but I strap it to the handlebar.

Interesting! Does it hold at speed? Wouldn't want to lose it in the highway.

@@mrzeppelini8085 never had an issue. It’s done thousands of miles through France and Spain on my RT and has been completely secure.
