OK, why leave the spark plugs loose? What does this do?
Ah, I should have known that. Thanks.It relieves compression (lets the compressed air escape past the threads) so you can turn the engine over.
Makes it easier to turn the engine over by using the rear wheel, you are not fighting the engine compression.OK, why leave the spark plugs loose? What does this do?
Okay, so everybody knows what the "main seal" is except me, what seal are you talking about?
Lucky you, I pay $1000 CAN ($ 750 US) for 6 months of full coverage for my Anniversario. And that is with a clean drivers record, and having shopped around as much as able up here. The base insurance has to come from our provincial insurance company and then everything else can be added on elsewhere. If I had only gone with the provincial coverage for everything it would be more like $1500 for 6 months.My annual insurance premium is about $275 for Racer. I don't see it as expensive enough, for me, to be worth the trouble of carrying insurance only part of the time. If I only insured it for six months, it would likely only save me $75 or so per year.

that is excessive...I guess you are a new rider? Here in Ontario where the winters are cold, the option of 6 month insurance is basically gone. Insurance is done on a yearly basis, with the understanding that most of us won't ride in the snow or when it's -10C out. I'm paying about $500 cdn on a V7ii (+20 yrs riding exp).Lucky you, I pay $1000 CAN ($ 750 US) for 6 months of full coverage for my Anniversario.

I have been riding for over 30 years, clean drivers record, with the full discount that is available. Granted I have full coverage for everything, but it is still that expensive. My boss rides a 1996 Honda ST 1100 and pays about $1600 for 6 months coverage. It is bloody insane the insurance rates out here on the west coast.that is excessive...I guess you are a new rider?

Quick update: Moto Guzzi honored the warranty and my dealer (Aprilia Moto Guzzi of Portland) got the repairs done quickly and with no hassles. Happy endings are always nice.my wife’s 2018 V7 has had the main seal fail at 2700 miles, 3 months post-warranty. Shop is going to call Guzzi to see if they will cover the $2000+ repair bill, does anyone know how likely this is to happen? What would be the best escalation route if they turn me down? This bike has been pampered, it hasn’t even had its second service yet. This could only be an assembly defect from the factory.
