Thank you for this video. I was halfway through mine and needed advice. Helped tremendously!

There is no TDC timing mark?

Kind of late comment, maybe someone can have some help from it. On my older V7 a, I first disconnect the power supply to the gas pump, then make a start attempt, then the pressure in the gas hose releases, then it becomes very easy to separate the hose connection, don't know if it is possible to run the same on the V85, it may be worth investigating

Thanks a lot! Very helpful.

Really appreciate the time and hands on effort you have done to make this great instructive video. Just bought a 2022 MG V7 Special and I am going to get a center stand for it - this looks like it will save a lot of pain. Many thanks for the UK. Regards Jim

Thanks a lot for your video. I was able to do it within an half hour. It was a little bit scary to attach the rachet to a not so strong post, but managed it at the end.

erring on the side of tight valves is an odd suggestion. the common wisdom is that tappy valves are happy valves. if your engine taps when its cold but quietens down when it's warm, that's perfect. if you go too tight, as the engine heats up, it will lose compression. the tappets keep the valves open just a crack even when they should be closed and it'll run poorly. ask me how i know :-) if you're too loose, it'll tap even when it's warmed up, that's a sign you need to tighten them just a bit. trial and error can work for this.

Thanks for the video, question for you, did you bike come with a OEM tool kit under the seat?

Today I'm going to install 'fog lights' from brand rizoma.Not too expensive, design is quite acceptable, sold by a German rizoma dealer, wrapped by a nice Christmas present box but: No instructions, no definition of the wire colors, a on/off switch illuminated for the steering bar.The only place on the left hand side is the conical area of the bar....surprise, surprise

ALWAYS measure the final drive oil!!! You need 140cc (4.75oz) NO MORE" Putting too much can cause a seal failure and pi$$ oil all over your tire while you're riding.

The gray and green thing at the under the front of the tank is a safety/check valve (CM179008) / fuel return.

12k miles in 10 months aboard my 23 V85TT… replaced my BMW GSA.. .. bike has been bullet proof and a breeze to perform routine maintenance (fluids, filter, valve adjustment)….far easier than the latest $35k BMW GSA… thanks for your how to videos….

Krasava as we say in Russia

NEVER use anything METAL to check TDC, if you don't have a proper TDC gauge (which are quite reasonably priced, even Guzzi specific ones) then use a long plastic or paper drinking straw and once you have it at TDC you can mark it with a sharpie for next time and no danger of damage to piston or head. Using that allen or a screwdriver could leave you with a very large repair bill.

Hey Cubby, how do I know when I hit TDC? The engine is a four stroke and I cannot tell when I attempt this.

Perfekt. Super Idee mit dem Spanngurz 🤪🤘🏼🤘🏼👌🏼

Good points. The navigation of my moto morini xcape has the same issues. No avoidence options, road closures and is subscription based. Luckily it mirrors gmaps on the 7 inch display.

Anyone have the torque setting for the drain on gearbox? Thanks for the vids Brian, your vids on maintenance helped me decide on buying Guzzi.

Doing your own maintenance, how have you been getting around the service light? I’m coming up on my first service with my new V85 and am worried about that having to be reset. I’ve done all my own work on my V7 that didn’t have a service light.. cheers!

I have a serious question about this bike, does the v7 fuel tank fit on it?

Thank you for this video, just a question, do you need to take off the oil for adjusting the valves? Greeting from the french part of Switzerland✌🏻⛑

Ciao cosa ne pensi del Kit dec Mistral? Collettori maggiorati, compensatore Y omologato E5 e V Twin Boost? Il mio V 85 TT scalda molto in città e ha battito in testa , mi hanno consigliato il Kit dec Mistral. Saluti da Napoli

Thanks for sharing 👍👍

Thanks a lot.

Have you managed to turn off the maintenance oil change light? If so, I would like to learn how myself.

Everything Is very clear, thanks. Even here in Italy the fog lights go off when you turn on the high beams. Maybe, these stay on because they aren't exactly fog lights, but additional headlights (or something like that). Respect for bikers!

Thanks, man! That helped a lot!

ottimo!!!

Bonjour, je regarde vos vidéos depuis la France. Heureusement qu'il existe un traducteur anglais français. Quand je fais le plein il y a beaucoup d'éclaboussure auriez vous une suggestion à se sujet . Merci✌

How about the Valve cover gasket? Are they good to re-use for a while?? Finally, are head bolt a good idea to re torque while opened up?

Hi, any idea how to reset the service spanner icon? seems it's a dealership job or can it be done with an obd2 scanner? if so any recommendations for one that works?

Hola, alguien sabe donde consigo el cable que sale en el minuto 3:20 del video?

Thanks Bud ! I installed them without any issues thanks to the video. Its a timesaver and i am glad you posted this video, Cheers !

yes, all of the V85tt's I've seen have one of the two air box cover openings taped over shut for some reason, either a flow restriction or noise deterrent...

Love the videos. Just purchased a New (old stock) 2022 V85TT. Just wondering how you reset the service light? From my understanding, you need the PADS OBD2 system to reset the light which means a trip to a dealer.

Great video and much appreciated, I will not pay shop prices for a job I can easily do myself. You saved me a bunch of cash man🫡🇺🇸👍🏼

Looks like you said there’s a 13mm bolt that needs to be removed from engine in order to put in the 17mm bolt head that secures the bottom part of the bars right? I’m thinking that the previous owner snapped that 13mm bolt because when I go to insert the 17mm bolt to secure the bottom part of the bars it doesn’t grab anything. I looked inside that engine Mount and don’t see any thread. That’s why I’m thinking that the bolt was snapped and it’s stuck inside. What’d you think?

High pressure car wash will force water into wheel bearings too. Nice vid.

Help: when adjusting the valves on the right side of the motorcycle (as you’re sitting on it) I noticed that I had to loosen the valves a whole lot in order to fit the feeler gauge underneath. However, this seemed wrong, so I turn the engine just to see what happened and of course when the piston went down the space now in the valves is huge probably like half an inch. This is with me using the .1 and .15 mm on the feeler gauge with the piston in the top position. Any suggestions?

I bought Carl's demo V85 TT Centenario. He decked it out. I put a center stand on it today using your video. Springs are a pain. The ratchet straps worked after I finally stopped the bike from sliding across the floor. You do a good job on your videos. Thanks.

How do you reset the maintenance service indicator? I never dared to buy that motorcycle because I understand that diagnostic equipment is needed

Those are some amazing woods there. Good video, people tend to overthink their gear and underthink their sleep. My old sergeant told me as a kid; any idiot can be cold and miserable.

thanx for that. I am afraid that if our backs start to squeak, it won't be such an easy fix as it was on the Guzzi. Greatings from good ol' Germany and keep up the good work.

Similar procedure as in aircooled VW boxer engines. I think I can manage this easily 😊

First of all, congratz on your videos and Thank you ;) do you by any chance have a video of how to change the clutch cable and adjust clutch? Thanks

Thanks for the content. Followed your instructions and took a little longer then needed. Subscribed

Funny mate , in Australia we work on the Metric system ( since before I was born in 1968 - was done in 66. But we still call a piece of timber that size 4/2 as well 😂😂😂. I know you don’t bring out many V85tt videos BUT they are VERY informative. So you didn’t say when you changed your 2019 V85tt to the latter one ☝️ 🤔? Regards Paul from Aus .

Goodmorning: About the measerement 2 liters is 2000cc you have to fill 700cc in your gearbox so you have left 1300 CC in your bottle. Greetings from The Netherlands

Thank you for your video, i have the same Guzzi and i had ordered the same engine guards. I think prepare myself and was searching for a video like this. So thamks again from the Netherlands , Voorbijganger

Thanks for this excellent video! I was thinking of installing fog lights and now I feel I can do it an will definitely remove my engine guard! Also awesome quality and audio … keep em coming
