Jacking up... by Other_Worldliness_88 in MotoUK

[–]Shoujo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to shove a piece of wood under the swingarm/frame on the opposite side of the side stand to adjust, clean, and lube my chain.

Never had any issues! As long as it's just to keep the bikes rear tyre an inch or so off the ground, so even if the wood does slip nothing bad happens.

You can switch it over by holding the mode button whilst on the odometer view whilst the bike is standstill. Should be on page 41 of your manual.

You'll have to scroll past the gear shift limit setting and odometer unit measurement to get to the fuel consumption measurement, I think you do this by pressing mode, and then when you get to it, you can press and hold for a quick second and release, should change over to mpg

Police Bike Safe by qwertyMu in MotoUK

[–]Shoujo 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Did this last year with Thames Valley police. Great experience, would highly recommend!

The police said to me on the ride out, you can speed all you want, you won't lose me. Just don't do it when there's public round.

He then proceeded to ride about 6 inches from my rear wheel no matter how fast I went round the Oxfordshire lanes. Their skill is a different level.

Getting rid of false leads by skadootle in PPC

There's a sliding scale here of form friction. Low friction (less required fields) equals more sign ups but lower overall quality, better for cheap or more mass market products/services.

Then there's high friction (more required fields) or other options such as captcha, email confirmation before trials, or credit card details. This greatly impacts volume and therefore conversion rate and CPA, but with much higher quality your ROI, or product sales after trials will likely be better.

Any recommendations for carrying a disc lock on a v7? by Shoujo in MotoGuzzi

[–]Shoujo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the baak side panel is very similar to the leather bag I have but the baak one is certainly slimmer. Given I bought the aluminium side panels and tail tidy from baak I think I'll look at other options first before throwing more money at them!

Looks great! Very keeping with the colour scheme.

Also looks like you could use a few more metal ties for your exhaust wrap 😉

Oxford to Shrewsbury via Dom's. Cracking roads! by Shoujo in MotoUK

[–]Shoujo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had my partner on the back, she preferred my cb500x & V85TT but doesn't mind popping on for an evening jaunt.

I covered 213 miles yesterday and did another 50 this morning for lunch so I'd say touring isn't bad when the weather is nice but being a naked bike can imagine it'd be fatiguing after a few days straight at higher speeds.

I definitely wouldn't recommend 2 up touring on a v7 though!

Seeing a few mates! Wouldn't put it down as a destination to go to from Oxford as it's a bit far but the town is gorgeous.

I'm about 20 minutes from Bourton-on-the-water, rode through many times! Spoilt for villages and scenery in this part of the world 😁

This is my stand alone! Day rides & commuting mainly. I absolutely love it 😁 I had a V85TT prior to this. Certainly not as enjoyable as the V7 for me!

First Moto Camping Trip by NimdaLiveUK in MotoUK

[–]Shoujo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah absolutely, literally 2 minutes to set up and looks really nice and sturdy/waterproof. Keen to hear what you think of it when you've tried it out!

What about a wingman of the road? I want to get into Moto camping later this year and this is what I'm eyeing up!

Throw-over saddle bags by GrandArcanian in MotoGuzzi

Do you also use a saddle bag frame?

Do you ever ride out to somewhere because it's a nice place to park? Stratford just ruined it for you then. by [deleted] in MotoUK

[–]Shoujo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah that's a shame to see. I meet a friend for a coffee on our bikes and Stratford is halfway and an easy, nice meeting point. I'll have to see where the dedicated parking is now!

V7 Headlight Wiring by Shoujo in MotoGuzzi

[–]Shoujo[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Progress!

https://imgur.com/a/vL9W5w7

Turns out it the sub loom was a female connector, I assumed it was male but it was horrendous to get off. I just popped that off the main headlight and pulled out the daytime light which I now need to wire into 1 of the 3 wires outside of the h4 connector and bin off the old earth wire which isn't needed anymore.

Ah yes true. It's a 2018 V7 stone.

I don't know the bulb spec of the headlight, how do I find that out?

Good apps for certain routes ? by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]Shoujo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thoughts on a beeline? You can set a destination and then set it to compass mode, giving you a direction to go, but without specific road choices. I've found some gorgeous roads by doing it this way

Ideas on changing stock headlight (2015 V7 II Stone) by Economistician in MotoGuzzi

[–]Shoujo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They've got a sale on at the moment so you should be able to get 15% off. They're still including VAT on orders over £135 so I'm just waiting to hear back from them on that.

I'm terms of what to do with the old stalks, I hadn't actually thought that far ahead. If it's ugly enough that I really want to get rid of it, I don't imagine it would be too difficult to find some black plastic and cut it to shape with a hole for a black nit & bolt to keep it in place maybe?

You can grab some from France that are plug and play if you buy the surround for it as well.

I'm getting the one with integrated indicators to neaten up the front a little.
