Adding a quart

[BRIO]

The Germans design things to be serviced. The Italians, not so much...
This is how I added a liter to my steed.

Looks more like a cyborg blood transfusion than a motorcycle engine service ... !!

Maybe so, but the Italians are well ahead of the Japanese on this score.  My Stelvio has been a breeze compared to my last two bikes, Suzukis both.

Brio, have you changed the fluid in the rear drive? If yes, did you have to remove the rear wheel to
do it? On my 2012 BMW R1200R, the rear wheel must be removed to change the rear drive fluid.

Garden sprayer with caulking tip. Takes seconds, no pumps or electricity needed. No drips either.

I havent, but reading the factory service manual suggest that you do not need to remove the rear wheel.

So. Why are you needing to add a quart to a Guzzi? I've never added any.. <scratching head>

Maybe he just drained 3.5 quarts out in a periodic ceremony .... ?

I haven't owned the bike long enough to determine whether it lost the oil or if it was low to begin with. I've noticed a little weeping by the valve cover gaskets. One thing is for certain, I want my lean burning oil cooled engine to have as much medium in it as I can. Now it's full. I'll retorque the valve covers and keep an eye on the level.
