Hi, it’s a 2022, 72 plate, it’s been fine , just the low end a bit surge, so I’m hoping the mistral will help. I love the bike to bits , it’s a keeper for sure, am just trying to get the low bit better , cheers for the answer
yes mine is 2021, but apart from one other minor issue with the engine warning light coming on if accelerating (cured with software update) it’s been very reliable for 23k miles ridden in all weathers, rain, snow, ice, and in the rare occasions we see any sunlight that too 
riding in heavy rain for a few hours causes a glow in the LED fitted with the alarm, probably a tiny bit of water finds its way in, but nothing stops working.
Spot on, good to hear, I’ve got about 7500 miles on now, and fingers crossed, all good 
Had sleeve fitted today by “Iron city” Leeds, seemed much better but only a short ride home (12 miles). But first impressions were its much smoother.

I’m loving my new to me 2022 V85TT Travel, the only fly in the ointment is the poor fuelling at low revs which seems worse when the engine is cold, so I’m watching this thread with interest. Ideally I would prefer getting it fixed via a software update if this is possible rather than adding aftermarket gizmos. Any recommended dealers in the South West area (Gloucestershire/Bristol)?
I fitted a v twin boost plug, which, to be honest, has helped a little, but not completely solved it. To be honest, I aren’t gonna go down the avenue of de cat etc, as I love it anyway, and think the cost of all that, for a little improvement, wouldn’t be worth it, or make the bike massively better, just slightly better from what I hear and read
I can recommend Downend Bikes & Scooters. They have looked after mine for the last 2.5 years. They are a small family business and treat their customers well.
I have no connection with them other than they look after my V85TT.
I hope this helps

Funnily enough I was talking to another V85TT owner at the Prescott Hill Climb on Sunday who had taken his bike to Downend Bikes and Scooters and was pleased with the results. He to had suffered with poor fuelling at slow speeds. I’ve got mine booked in next month.

Mine is a bit better now, and acceptable with the boost plug, not perfect, but definitely better , cheers
I find it loads better with a decat, if you get a chance to ride one without a cat then do, you might change your mind lol
I will if I get chance, cheers
Buy the best fuel you can find add a splash of octane booster/fuel treatment and enjoy the ride, cheap and very effective
Cheers 
Is fitting the sensor sleeve something that can be done yourself?
If so, which sensor is it and where can I buy a sleeve.
The V twin booster plug, I got from Gutsibits, manufactured by Mistral, it does help a bit, and is easy to fit, it comes with a scan to your phone for fitting, also, there’s a you tube vid or two, which is helpful
Dont know if you can do it yourself, i may be wrong but i think it shields the fuel injection from picking up pulses from the ignition. Someone on here with more knowledge may know
you probably can DIY but I don’t know exactly which wire it is you need to sleeve
something like this would block interference, a smaller diameter would fit better
Thanks for the responses.
My V85TT is a 19 plate, so out of Warranty, but I’ll give the guys at Jim Allan Motorcycles a call to see what they can do.
Cheers
Finally got around to buying a v boost and getting it fitted. It certainly increases fuel as midrange and up is smoother/faster and accleration is up, but as far as sub 30mph issues its not made a difference that i can feel or notice. So im back to the shall i change bike or spend money on the guzzi.
When i bought my 2022 e5 bike at 6000 miles it was a bit weak and stuttery at the bottom end. It had already had it’s 6000 service from a main Guzzi dealer just off the Hythe bypass nr Southampton so i thought that was normal.
When i got it back to Bristol the MI (engine) light started coming on then came on more and more often. I took it to Downend Motorcycles nr Bristol to check for errors and turn the yellow light off.
BUT they also “finalised the mapping” which, gave me a lot more response and smoothness at the bottom end. Still not like a 1200 monster 
but really rather good. If there is a recommended dealer near you ask then to check all the updates are in and finish the mapping - cost me £70 well worth it
