Leaking oil on cylinder.
Yes, what bike do you have, and where are you located?Norge?North Carolina?
Heard from Guzzi USA just now. The needed parts... Some breather thing on each cylinder are bad. Dealership does not have parts. (They told me a week ago they ordered parts and should have been in that tuesday or wed of last week) Guzzi USA does not have them and will have to order from Italy. (FUMES)
If it's leaking from the breather plates they are sealed with o-rings available at any bearing factor or a thin smear of threebond. If the hoses are leaking? On a new bike it is probably the clamps. Replace the clamps, also available at any bearing factor.Pete
Oh I agree Joe, it's unbelievably feeble. I just don't understand why it can't be fixed, even temporarily, so the poor bastard can get back on the road? It's a breather FFS! It's not like it's got a rod hanging out of the side of the crankcase!
I like your little pic there, Wayne.The flip side of the frustration is the guy with the warranty who knows it's a simple o-ring but since he has the warranty he stands on his 'entitlement' to having it replaced by the shop. The shop is slow getting to it, the guy loses a riding season for a job he could have done himself -- and blames it on the shop.

That's what got to me on the V11 Sport. Late in the summer of my first season on it, at 6000 miles, the rivets fail on one of the clutch plates, 5 weeks in the shop. The next season, in the spring, at 7000 miles, 3rd gear fails, 6 weeks and a new trans. Season 3 at about 8000 miles, another clutch plate rivet failure. This time I fixed it myself even though it was still covered by warranty. It was only down for a few days.
