Ha ha. No its not a loop, definitely the new one. I don't know where I got the idea that they were carburettor engines, sorry about that. Because I usually turn up to runs on a Guzzi, the blokes at my local VMCC section seem to think I am some kind of authority on them. There is a lot of interest in the V7s as they have trad. design / look, are fairly small and light and with a lot more character than the competition. Of course, I do all I can to encourage this. Unfortunately the people at the Swindon dealers are much more keen of promoting Triumphs, which they also sell.

I did disconnect the Lambdas but made little difference until I also cleared the tables. Then I reconnected the Lambdas and that made no change. Therefore clearing the tables does it not disconnecting the Lambdas. The tables cleared are for hot and cold engine aka "10 x 10 self-adaptive matrix" From "MUI G3 Injection" 3. Operating logic New self-adaptive engine management (air/fuel ratio) strategy The G3 unit used with this engine features a self-adaptive engine management function. This allows the ECU to adapt to the effective needs of the engine, and even compensate for engine deteriorating factors such as, for instance, fouling of the air filter or throttle body. To do this, the ECU uses feedback from the oxygen sensors or the MAP sensor in relation to the effective operating conditions. In the latter instance, the effective absolute manifold pressure is used to calculate the effective mass of air aspirated into the cylinder. The correction factor is calculated and applied by compiling and continuously updating two 10x10 self-adaptive matrices, with one for cold engine conditions and the other for hot engine conditions. At each reference point (rpm – throttle aperture), the injection time is increased or reduced by a percentage equal to the value of the corresponding correction parameter. The diagnostic tool may be used to read the ADAPTIVE FUEL CORRECTION parameter, which is expressed as a percentage of the base map injection time. Notes: 1.Oxygen sensor-based correction has priority over MAP sensor-based correction. 2.The correction factor is updated when operating conditions are stable - in other words, when neither the throttle aperture nor the engine speed vary excessively rapidly. 3.If the correction factor requested exceeds ±25%, the EFI warning lamp on the instrument panel is activated, the self-adaptive matrices are reset to zero and the error is memorised in the ECU. In other words the oxygen sensors (Lambda) are used to populate and update the ECU tables.

Yep, if you say so!
Disconnecting the Lambdas worked for me thanks and it seems one of two others. Had mine from new and the low rpm throttle snatchiness was an issue out of the box - not any more. I think we are wandering off post a bit now, so I have put in my limited input.

I suspect adding all that detail more likely to put off a member of the VMCCfrom buying a V7.

Actually I think he is cycling - but there is another standing on the tank......Could be in the Isle of Man as I think they have little people, but the mountains look a bit steep!

I thought they all had three legs there. Not only is the bike enormous, but what size must the rider be? Those gloves are giant size.

Disconnecting the Lambdas can be right for the wrong reason. With the Lambdas disconnected it has to run on the two map tables utilising the MAF sensor alone. But the map tables can become populated with false or 'outlier' data. And this appears to be the root of the problem. The tables are 'self-adaptive matrices' i.e. they learn, and they can learn bad habits. Clearing the tables is easy by just rebooting the ECU, by pulling the main 30A fuse and replacing it. Allow about 20 seconds to shut down fully. Or by disconnecting the battery, but the fuse is a doddle, certainly easier than pulling the connectors on the Lambdas. The full article is here - https://doc-0g-7k-docs.googleusercontent.com/docs/securesc/ha0ro937gcuc7l7deffksulhg5h7mbp1/pq5onlqbd54j1v1ichfltvnnue7d5qi9/1540807200000/04675650327570876835/*/0B07c0PNWc0TiSk1pTFZEdmNtSUk There is a lot there but the diagram on p.12 does show a dip in the fuelling at about 20-25% throttle, which may account for the flat spot where the Lambdas should be pulling the AFR up a little richer; see table p.14. It may seem complicated but the simplest solution is reboot the ECU. The low rpm snatch seems to be common to most electronic injector systems but the MIU-G3 is unique to Guzzi, or at least Piaggio. On some a bypass screw on the throttle body can dial it out but the Guzzi lacks that

I have a feeling the the ECU on the early 1TB models does not ‘learn’ - my experience of removing the lambdas on my 2014 Stone agrees exactly with what V7Chris wrote.
