John, I hope you take some brake cleaner or alcohol and get that oil off the tire. Looks like things could get slippery when you least want it to.

jkristjan - if i remember you live in the EU like myself - under EU consumer rights law you have to give the seller the opportunity to repair a defective vehicle - once - if that repair fails you have the choice to reject the vehicle and claim a full refund or give them a further attempt to repair and claim a substantial reduction in the purchase price.
if my first repair fails i shall give them a second chance - if that fails and the final drive still leaks i will reject the bike and have my money back.
John
Thanks Guys,
I guess I'm heading to the dealer.....
First, welcome to the Forum Nick and congrats on the V7. Hope you'll add your info to the Registry thread here; https://www.guzzitech.com/forums/forums/v7-v9-chat-tech.215/I am the owner of a 2015 V7 Stone which I purchased used with 6600 miles.
Guzzinick - hope your repair shop can fix your final drive leak - most of the leaks that I've read about on this and other moto guzzi forums have been repaired under warranty.
i would like to hear from anyone who has had the repair performed out of warranty and what was entailed - any special tools required - the repair kit looks more than just an 'o' ring seal.
i think there should be a recall cause this issue is more than just a few isolated cases - i see Harley-Davidson are recalling over 40thousand bikes for a minor oil leak from a tube clamp - why not our bikes?

Did you use compressed air to clean the vent? As long as the bike is under warranty and you state you're not mechanically inclined it is very much worth the visit to the dealer. Have them install the latest fuel map while your there.
If you had Todd do a reflash then no I wouldn't get another. I see you have a 2016 bike, so there may or may not be a new stock map but it may not help with different exhaust anyway.
