He pointed out to me that Guzzi's actually have their oil filters inside the oil pan.
Just something to consider when thinking about DIY.


What !!!

First I've heard of THAT.

Okay, never mind. The spin-on oil filter is recessed in a cove exterior of the pan, easily accessible. Sheeewww, don't give me a startle like that, dude. The Stelvio as it turns out, is remarkably easy to change oil for engine, gearbox, and final drive. Yay !!!

Go for it. Are you going to be taking it off-road? If the deal falls through, I second the thought on the VFR1200F. I put 150 miles on mine today, just on back roads, I bet I never was more than 15 miles from my house. One of my favorite bikes ever....next to my '06 Triumph Sprint ST.

That Moto Guzzi is really nice.
