5 MORE THINGS YOU MAY HAVE MISSED IN THE MOTO GUZZI V85TT MANUAL  

I think it's time to dig into the MIA unit next.

Good stuff...! 6/7/24 Brand new 2023 v85tt Travel. Got a heck of a deal. Just LOVING IT! Think I will subscribe, I get too many notifications as is... Appreciate your channel. C Roby.

Very helpful, as always! Heated grips are nice on a damp ride in the 50s!

Interesting video thank you. Here in the uk our fuel is at least 95 octane. E10 or E5. I use E5 in my V85 because of many bad reports about E10. Also some reports claim better fuel economy with E5, so using E10 could be false economy. Regarding the light switches, I keep catching the high beam switch with my finger which is a nuisance. I've fitted a rubber donut to stop my hand sliding up and hitting the switch accidently!

Im buying a tt if a few days. dealer service mgr told me 20 bucks for any code read and reset.

Was in NH a couple weeks ago doing the nebdr and had to ues non ethanol 91. The bike really hated it. Could have been the warm weather or altitude but pinged like a mad man.

MAX of E-10 is what my manual says. There is some verbiage about higher than that causing damage. Generally speaking,more ethanol gets you lower fuel economy and requires more frequent maintenance intervals because it is "dirtier". A quick look in any flex fuel car manual will scare you lol. Thanks for the video. Very helpful information!

Subbed Sir . Thanks from the Uk . That horrible bio fuel causes all sorts of trouble , with our older bikes in particular , which need new fuel lines and tap/filters made to take the bio stuff to be fitted . A friend with a Commando buys non bio fuel at a station near to a race track ( Castle Combe , outside of Bristol ) , but that is a quite a few miles out of his usual routes . There he can get Avgas , I think that is over 95 octane , but the bio stuff , even the highest octane , causes blockages if it is not used up in two weeks , whatever fuel 'stabilizer' is used . This guy is a Rolls Royce engineer , so no fool and his word can be trusted . Fog lights and driving lamps are controlled differently , I mean the fogs light with dip and driving lamps light with main beam . Is your Guzzi wired for both ? Are you allowed in the States to have both fog and driving lamps fitted ; I am fairly sure in the UK we are only allowed one or the other , but I repeat ... is the Guzzi set up to take either ? I ask as I am lusting after the TT Travel ! Cheers .

Did you know: when the engine is off (key on), and the light switch in position 2, the low beam automatically turns on when you move the bike. Handy when you have to move it in the dark…!

Was thinking about a video I saw where some poor bastard was Tazered while pumping his gas and was set afire!

isn't ethonal tough on plastics? the early plastics, connectors, lines and tanks included, by paiggio, ducati, guzzi had problems with distortion or delamination.

Fun Fact: Guzzi Diag doesn't work on E5... So sad!

At last - someone who recognises that E10 fuel is fine in modern engines. There’s so much prejudice against E10 without any basis in fact. Ethanol has a higher octane rating than gasoline and a higher oxygen content so burns much better - hence its use in NASCAR racing. Regular gasoline is full of additional chemicals to boost the octane rating and increase the oxygen content - gasoline is very far from the “pure” fuel people think it is.

The manual simply says that fuel vapors may cause damage to objects... Objects like your cell phone. In no way is the manual even remotely suggesting that your phone could ignite the vapors. But the vapors do indeed have solvent properties (hold Styrofoam above a jar of gasoline without touching the gas and you'll see that the vapors alone begin to damage the Styrofoam).

In Germany it is forbitten to use a cell phone on EVERY filling station. But nobody cares. 😮 Just a hint: would you put your head in a micro wave? We are talking abour 900 MHz or 1800 MHz (depending on GSM net) and 2 W for emission power of the cell phone. Just use your brain.
