Sounds like you have a great dealer. Dave Blunk of Sport Cycle Pacific by any chance?

Dave hasn’t been a dealer in quite some time. Anyone here chat with him in the last few years? His website is down, but Google still has them open.

Bought my first Moto Guzzi from Dave, Daytona RS.
 
Here we go!.....4.5hr ride out on my new V85TT and take a look at the rear wheel....the rear drive is leaking. I'm going to drop the oil out and measure. I read the 2019 MG bulletin and it recommends re-using the oil, not sure on this unless they put a moly additive in there.

A few hours later.... and here's my findings after only 200 miles from new....drained 190cc of oil and it's black. This suggests moly is in there from factory and why they recommend leaving in for 18,600 miles. So do I put in fresh oil or not?
