New to Guzzi....

Technical V7, V9 & V7 850 (2007 onwards)
1

Hi to you all,

So I’ve bought my first Guzzi, and it’s a V7 iii Stone (2019). It’s spent a bit of time outdoors, covered, but still in the damp and cold.

I need to replace a number of the screws and nuts to tidy it up. Has anyone here, replaced all these items on the V7, and could tell me the size and quantity needed to complete the task?

All or any assistance appreciated, and perhaps the name and contact details of any supplier.

Cheers,

Ashpole

For washers I use ebay to source stainless steel.

For Allen screws and bolts normal stainless is too soft, you need high tensile grades A2-80 or A4-80 a good supplier is Accu.

Note stainless steel easily seizes in aluminium so you need aluminium antiseize compound (also on ebay)

For the exhaust studs and nuts I have used plated studs and brass nuts but these titanium ones look better and the seller gives torque figures Ebay titanium 8mm exhaust studs

Hello Ashpole

You need a set of vernier calipers and thread pitch gauges.
Take of each fixing and measure the thread diameter and length with the calipers and then the thread pitch with the pitch gauges.
Add location, and measurements to a list.
Replace the fastener and tighten to the torque given in the workshop manual click here
Repeat
Order fixings in A2 grade stainless unless high strength (& torque) fasteners, I use Shaw Stainless click here for specialist fixings, plugs and brake pins, and Bolt Base click here for standard fasteners. (Other suppliers are available!) Both advertise on eBay click here For Shaw and click here for Bolt Base

Best of luck
Chris

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I will look at the detail and see if I can sort this out. It’s a nice day for a rideout, and I hope you get the chance!! Cheers, Ashpole

The standard Piaggio torque for 6mm thread is too high for standard A2 stainless,

It is easy to check, lock two stainless nuts together on the bolt in question, put it the nuts in a vice and torque it up. I found the A2 I had stripped at 75% of the figure I needed. But the high tensile from Accu was not pricey and works well.
