From Mr Barry Joyce. Teddington Middlesex:
Hi Dave! I bought a new V7 Stone (6speed) in May whenI fell in love after a test ride. I picked up my bike but after a couple of days I wondered if I had done the right thing. (Perhaps I should have taken a more extended test ride). I had to warm the engine for 3 or 4 minutes before I could pull away without stalling. Even if I just blipped the throttle before warming, the engine would die. Once I was running, the engine was not happy below about 4000 revs. The (aftermarket) exhausts would pop and bang on the overrun. I decided to join the Moto Guzzi club to see if any others were experiencing the same problems. When the club magazine (Gambalunga) arrived I saw the advert for Finebauforge and decided to give one of the 8 Jet modules a try as there was an unconditional money back guarantee. The module arrived in 2 or 3 days (great service) and I promptly fitted it to the bike. This took only about 20 minutes and believe me, I am far from a mechanical or electrical expert! The improvement was remarkable! My little V7 is now a joy to ride. All the popping, cold starting and uneven running has been eliminated completely. I have not done any MPG testing yet but my initial feeling is that I am probably getting better mileage than before because I am not constantly trying to keep the revs above 4000 to try and keep the engine in the Sweet Spot. Now it runs sweetly at any revs. In short, I am delighted! I now have the bike I expected when I bought it. Thanks a million. Barry |

I note the mention of "aftermarket exhausts", not being factory fitted OEM, will aggravate this behaviour if of the more 'free flowing' type. Less restrictive exhausts tend to make engines run leaner.

Got one on my 750 Breva with Mistral Silencers. Told Dave what it was going on and it arrived all set up. Well pleased with it.

Just fitted one of these to my V7 Stone Special, Before it wouldn't run properly with the high level 2 into one pipe with reverse cone mega without disconnecting the lambda. Popped this device on in 5 minutes and now the bike runs great!

A huge improvement, No warning lights illuminated, Still a little bit of popping and banging on the overrun. Even better with the finbar.

I have removed the lambdas on my 1TB V7 - it has Mistrals with the DB limiters fitted - and am very happy with that set up. I guess I have been lucky. The Mistrals / no lambda combination seems spot on to me but maybe your exhaust system is less restrive than mine so also needs the FBs.

Not yet fine tuned the finbar so perhaps even more to come?

I have an earlier V7 Classic (2011 registration) that has twin throttle bodies. I spoke to Dave Shaw and fitted a Finebau Aeroplus Lite which simply connects between the temperature sensor on the airbox and the ECU. There is no plug into the Lamda circuit.
After a great deal of fiddling to find the "Goldilocks" setting of the dipswitches over many weeks, I have reluctantly disconnected the unit. The bike seems happier without it, and I wonder if somehow the Finebau and ECU were fighting each other. Just prior to fitting the Finebau I had the TPS reset and latest map updated by Corsa Italiana followed by an extremely careful setting of throttle balance and by-pass flows chez Baldrick using his super-accurate vacuum gauges. As I had the Finebau unit already on order I put it on the bike, but I now think that it was unnecessary. If someone else with my set-up could advise on how their Finebau dipswitches are set I would be glad to know as from so many positive posts, it seems just to be me that is having problems. |
