A few years ago, I had a 1400 California. The bike had 500 miles when I bought it. It had a bit of an abruptness problem under 3,000 RPM. I tried this device and was very satisfied. MPG didn't change. It just got much smoother and more controlable. I then bought a 2020 V85 in 2019 when brand new and it always ran perfectly. Now have a 1400 bought with 18,000 miles and the fueling was and continues to be just fine on it. They take a long time to break in.

Hello, thanks for the video. I also have the same V85TT and I tried the V booster also with some success; I’ve now uploaded the Upmap mapping program and the bike is a lot more responsive throughout the rpm range and runs cooler also. Good luck, John.

The Moto Guzzi is a great bike to learn on. It’s not too heavy and has a enough power to take you anywhere you desire. They make other models that are lighter and lower if that is an issue for you…having strength and balance will help you to avoid getting into trouble…where the proper protection gear so you can minimize any risk of serious injuries.. thanks for your comments and happy riding..

I wouldnt recommend this bike for a beginner. Its heavy and pretty tall for a beginner. Better a smaller bike just to learn the basics. But yes, if you really want the bike, you can buy it.

Ne bi ti preporucio kao prvi motor. Ako hoces mali ADV za pocetnike uzmi Kawi Versys 300. Moci ces ga prodati za gotovo iste pare kad krenes dalje ako ga ne razbijes.

Thanks for the videos on this! Very interesting. I have a '22 and the idle and low speed mapping are fine, I wonder whether MG updated the mapping for '22? BTW Mine's the Giallo Mohave - much prettier than the blue :-) I hope you do the de-cat, I'd love to see/hear how it goes and the results. It's a shame they welded the headers to the cat for E5 to force you to change the whole thing.

Is that a SW Motech ring and tank bag? I suppose there's enough clearance for the handlebars. How do you like it? Would the Mistral V Boost work as well on the E5 models? I have the Centenario and first gear in sport mode is uneven. I don't want to feel the need to start out in rain mode and then switch to sport.

Great info on the last 2 videos......didn't see a vid on the Leo Vince slip-on install. Did that make any improvements other than sound??.....and did you check if there were any weight savings by going with the LV unit???,,,thx and keep them coming on the V85.

Hello David, thanks for your comment..I purchased the bike used from Razee Motorcycle Center in RI. It had the LV exhaust on it and the stock one came in a box. So I didn’t install it. However it is lighter by about 1.5 lbs. I’ve heard the stock one running on another V85 and the Leo Vince sounds much better with a louder tone.. I may be switching the header pipes also to illuminate the cat. Now that install I will video and test ride for you and others.

@@lifetimeadventures9107 Thanks for the reply back. My plans are to get a V85 but I'm waiting on the blue '23 model to land here in the PacNW. I think I need to get one soon as I'm paranoid MG might either discontinue the model due to emissions or replace that wonder air cooled V-Twin with something out of the new Mandello, which in my opinion would ruin the entire reason for having a V85.....character. So, I'm going to do my darndest to get a '23.

David I have seen the blue model at Razee Motorcycle Center In RI. I think it would be a great choice as it is the best-looking paint scheme that MG has released so far. I was actually thinking of getting the Blue panels to put on my bike as they can easily be swapped, from what I have heard MG won't be releasing the V100 water cooled Stelvio until late 2024 or early 2025. I'm sure you will be able to get one of the V85 Blue before then.

I recently replaced the stock exhaust on my 22' v85tt with the Arrow header and y pipe, Kept the stock silencer. Occassionally I get a decel or an upshift pop. Did you experience the popping and did the v twin boost eliminate it? Have you considered getting the upmap? Thx

Hi Jim, I still have the stock pipes and headers with the Leo Vince slip on silencer. If I close the throttle fast on the deceleration there is a slight popping but normally not any at all. The Twin boost seems to have made the low speed throttle response much smoother since it was installed. It is still a Moto Guzzi with its v twin gyrations. My goal is to own the new v100 Stelvio when it gets released next year. meanwhile, I’ll be riding my V 85 with all its character.
