Hi guys, I have just fitted some first mods on my v7.
SW Motech crash bars to protect the bike if I mistakenly drop it and Shock Factory 2WIN rear absorbers as the standard ones weren't good enough for me (back ache after riding all day)
I am also waiting on an ex moto sidebag and an upmap to finish it off.
What are your mods ?
Cheers !
Anyone has this air filter kit ? Filtro Aria Sportivo Con Cornice GCorse - Guareschi Moto I am on the fence of buying it with an upmap but it's a bit pricey. Any noticable gains anywhere ? Sound ? Mileage ? Performance ? Cheers !
Edit: I have mistrals on my bike and I will also buy an upmap. Just wanted to know if the air filter is worth it alongside the upmap and mistrals
Hi guys,
I am planning on buying this kit from guareschi for my v7 850 E5 but I have one question, do you guys know if I can roll back to the original map with this ?
I am asking because I don't know if with this my bike won't fail emissions test in France with a custom map, when I need to do it in a few years.
Thanks !
So as per my previous post where I had oil on my tire - first picture for reference. I had too much oil from factory in my rear drive.
The dealer was useless and didn't do anything but retorque the bolts to spec as it stopped leaking. Yeah thanks, I will do it myself.
For anyone searching, for a 2021-2024 v7:
Drain plug seal is an aluminum washer with a rubber inner lip, 10x18x1.5mm M10, torque 30Nm
Filler plug seal is a copper washer, 12x16x1.0mm, torque 25Nm
Oil is 75w140 GL5, 160ml
Greetings from Nice, France :)
My 2024 Stone has mistral exhausts and sounds really nice. I also love the ocasional pops and crackles when re opening throttle between 4000 and 5000 rpm, or the pop when down shifting with a blip on the throttle.
I might want to do a tune on it to smooth out the jerky low rpm throttle and the hole between 2800 and 3200 rpm when accelerating but I don't want to completely loose the poping and cracking noise...
Do you have any recomendations on it ?
Any mod that will make the bike run better for these 2 conditions without deleting the fun pops ?
Mistral v twin boost ? Velocity stack ? K&N filter ?
Cheers !
Bought this used 2024 v7 stone with 1350km (demo bike) tuesday and today when I rode it a bit harder at 1500km she leaked oil :/
It doesn't seem to come from the nut on the bottom but from the space between the moving part attached to the wheel and the fixed part where the lug is.
I cleaned it up, took off the bolt where you add oil and there was a tiny bit of oil that came out. I retorqued both bolts but they were already snug.
I hope I wont need a driveshaft seal rebuild, I will carefully comute to work tomorrow to see if it is still leaking.
I already took an appointment with the dealer.
What's your thoughts ?
Edit: commuted to work this morning and no oil spillage. So my best guess is overfill from factory and the oil spilled out when hot hot.
Hi guys !
I have just bought this 2024 v7 Stone and I am searching for small luggage options.
What I mainly need is something waterproof:
- for weekend riding where I can put a small bottle of water, and a tire repair kit just in case. Eventually a sandwich lol
- for daily commuting when I need to transport my 14" laptop + rain riding gear (equivalent to two 0.5L bottles in terms of space).
20L of luggage total would be ideal.
I do a lot of lane filtering so it can't be more wide than the handlebars.
I need the bag to be easy and fast to secure on the bike and to easy to get from the bike.
I don't want to put a top case on this bike and I don't want to use a backpack either.
Maybe a side bag that clips on the bike and I can carry it with me to work with my stuff in ?
Thanks for the suggestions !
Hi !
I have tried a 2024 stone with mistrals and fell in love, so now I am deciding which bike to take - please help :)
v7 Stone 2024, 1300km with mistrals, dealer's demo bike for 7500 euro. Idk about warranty, should be at least 3 months, I fear a bit that I will have new bike problems without getting enough warranty
v7 Stone 2026, brand new but no mistrals for 8200 euro
v7 Sport 2025, 1700km, no mistrals for 9000 euro, 1 year warranty
I just can't decide what is the best deal, do I want the new stuff that comes with the 2026 version like more torque ?
Do i want better brakes and forks of the sport version ? Or is the 2024 version plenty enough ?
The first one seems like a good enough deal but I need opinions
Thanks !
