I see, what you meant was the V7II "was ultimately a disappointment". Tweaking that phrase would have made all the difference haha
The fueling was likely related to not having the latest and best fuel map from the factory, that your dealer should have taken care of. There was a thread on WG that talked about it, and having that downloaded solved all my fueling issues.
I disagree that you "had" to remove the tank to check for the half plastic / half metal filter, they ALL have that and despite internet machinations to the contrary, is rarely an issue. Dave at MI said he "never" had to replace one due to a failure, and he is (was) "the guy" when it came to all things Moto Guzzi.
Sorry if I jumped you on that, I love the CB1100 but the V7 series are wonderful bikes also, that I'm a bit protective of, not perfect but the product itself is a sweet ride, dealer network and factory support issues aside.
Carry on...
