The 2019 is an 850cc, but the air filter may be the same. Just look at the video and see if yours is the same. If it is or is not, please post your findings for others to use.

Great! Thanks for letting us know. Wonderful that Guzzi made this fix.

Glad it was helpful!

Wow, sounds great. Wonderful to learn little "tricks" from others along the way. Thanks

Smart!!

@@Twenty9point97 I held with a small crocodile clip ... works a treat

Thanks for the comment. And yes most of the maintenance is pretty simply with basic tools. The exception may be changing the fork oil.

Thank you so much for making that correction. It shows up as a choice from Amazon when you ask for an oil filter for a 2017 V7, which of course we now know thanks to you is incorrect. Looking at the picture can fool one. It looks the same, so without your advice may have made a mistake. On close examination I can now see that it does not have the bolt extend through it. Best bet is to stay safe and use the UFI. I have used that model now for five times. Yep, over 30K miles.

@@johnverburg6318 I have saw at Amazon wrongly mentioned to fit our bikes. Yes its similar, but don't have the center holes to pass the screw and the filter itself is fatter.

Watching other youtube videos I have found that over filling the transmission will cause over pressure , which leads to leaks , In this great video the oil filler hole is also the oil level indicator , as normal with car gearboxes for example . However the newer V7 bikes with the 853cc motor do NOT use the oil filler as the level indicator ! When the rear drive has been totally taken apart the advised refill capacity is 180cc of oil . When just changing the oil in a service though the refill capacity to use is 160cc ; or measure what comes out and replace with that volume . The manual states 180cc for services , which is wrong and why people have made videos about it ..... I am not sure if filling from the top , air breather , hole would be a problem and would appreciate anyone's advise . So you need a measuring jug or a big syringe to refill the 853cc transmission , as the factory has not modified the filling hole as yet ! Hope that helps .

Sorry I forgot to say .... there is an oil additive advised but apparently not crucial for the transmission . That will have to be considered in the total capacity as well. I do not remember what the additive is called !

Thanks for your added comments. This is just the type of information that helps us all.

Thanks for the comment. I believe your 2021 is very much the same. The fun dependable ride. Taker her out for a spin

@@johnverburg6318 indeed! Taking her every chance I get ;)

Thanks for the question, but no I really do not. I have a Gl1000 and a BMW K100 as reference. Perhaps the cable is kinked somewhere along the line. The only thing I notice is that neutral is often difficult to find.

Thanks for the prompt response, mine is certainly very hard to pull, I’ll inspect the whole cable and lubricate - I thought it was a Guzzi thing!

@@valeja2002 yes I can confirm that it's harder to pull than my honda. it's a dry clutch so maybe thats why

Glad you liked it! I have uploaded a few items when I believe they may be of some help. If nothing else than to see how to do if your own way. I attempt to watch a video before attempting any project I undertake and so do the same for others. I am sure your oil change went well.

Thank you for the comment. The piece of fuel line placed over the plug, once it was lose worked very well indeed. Also starting the plug that way, with the tube over it, worked great as well. Once the plug was in deep enough the standard spark plug socket work great. I was using a standard spark plug socked with the rubber insert, but since the plug is so deep in thread depth, it would push to wrench out of the socket. When that happens the plug was lose enough to come out with the tube. Thanks for the great addition. Together we make things better. John

Not yet Steve! But you know my favorite color. John

Hi Thomas, No I did not notice any change in performance then or now, 6k miles later. My average fuel consumption is slightly better now, but that my be from the engine just working it way in. I get about 69MPG now doing easy roads at about 60-65MPH. When new I only got around 62MPG at the same speeds. John

@@johnverburg6318 WOW, I have the V9 bobber and I get exactly 100 miles to the full tank going about 75mph including some city traffic. The bike says the average is 45mpg but the math simply doesn't add up. Of course, I'm not stupid enough to trust Italian gauges and electronics. When the light comes on you have 1 gallon of fuel left. Therefore, I burn 3 gallons in 100 miles = 33mpg. It has the GTM tune and Agostini exhaust without baffles. The new ECU software is supposed to make the fuel mixture more rich to protect the engine and prevent surging in hot weather. Now the question is.....how do you get double the MPG, I don't push my engine to the limit, 75mph speed isn't exactly excessive, I weigh 210lbs and I have the side cases. The roads have some uphills, nothing crazy, maybe about 45 minutes of town riding with traffic lights, the rest of the way strictly highway. By the way, my bike has 5000 miles on the odometer, bike is already broken in and the valves adjusted at 4,000 miles and oil changes Motul synthetic 15W60 every 2,000 miles. Please feel free to comment, I'd like to hear what you have to say.

It's dead simple. These bikes use lock nut type adjuster.

Hi Michel, no I did not do a valve adjustment. I hear no tappit noise at start up and performance and fuel consumption is good, so thought I would leave well enough alone. If you do it, perhaps you could make a short video for us. John

Thanks for the comment Dave, but your socket must be longer in depth than mine. An extension would not help, because as the spark plug was unscrewed, the plug rose so high as to push out the ratchet. It would have done the same to the extender would have had the same issue, but the fuel line slipped over the lose plug, suggested by Mack worked great. A deeper extension also works well as well.

Glad it helped. On the second change I replaced the aluminum screws with metal ones so my magnetic driver would not drop them into the abyss. John

Well Jimo, I understand! The Guzzie is not only easy to work on, it just plain just not need a lot of work in the first place. I say this after 18K miles, but hope to make it to a 100k

Is a Guzzi still easy to work on?

Hi Thadeus, Wow that sound more like by BMW K bike. A real pain in the backside. John

Thank you Trakadas. I hope it helps some. John

Thanks Chris, I appreciate the comment. Knowing that it might help another is why one does it in the first place. John

Hi Navas, Well the next time I needed to change oil, I made another video as suggested. Hope it helps Jojn

Well I drove the bike across the country, buying it in Maryland and driving it home to Washington. That was about 6,000 miles and as you must know covered of all types of roads. In short, I love this bike, and know a bit of what I speak. My first road bike, when I was 28 years old, was a brand new 1976 Honda GL that I still own and has over 100,000 miles. I also drive an 87 BMW RS K100. All three are different, but for a perky roadster that can do the miles the Guzzie is it! Now, I did not do endurance riding, keeping it down to about 300 - 400 miles per day and often less. For long distance freeway miles exceeding 400 miles per day the GL is still king.

@@johnverburg6318 can you buy bike in different state? I tought if you live in one state the bike need register where is your adress.........correct if I'm wrong....

@@themarvelousvintage76 Well you will need to check with your state. I obviously did buy it in another state and then registered in mine.
