notasweetman said:The main bearing was faulty (see pic). I haven't found anyone else with this problem so I hope it's a one-off. Plus the bearing carrier bolts were too long - as discussed earlier - and Guzzi paid for the main seal.
fatal said:If you have no luck with Moto Guzzi, how about using the 'sale of goods act', claim from the supplying dealer, surely it is reasonable to expect a leak free engine after only 2 and a bit years, and 12000 miles, have you taken advice from your local trading standards dept?
Feel the same way about mine, and I've only had it for five weeks!. . . 'wise up and get something more sensible & reliable'. Not a chance. I love my Stelvio. Love it . . .
Same here, just last month, possibly on the same Stelvio!Did the Pass two Summer's ago on a rented Agostini Stelvio . . .
Hybal. Sorry for the belated reply. The leak on my bike is very slow. In fact, only once has there ever been a drop of oil on the garage floor from mine. Its just the rear sump area getting damp with oil, and you can see half a droplet forming which takes several weeks to appear after I clean the bike. The dealer appeared somewhat reluctant to do much about it, since they cleaned the area and took it for a ride, but couldn't trace the source of the leak given how slow it is.
Was yours leaking badly?
Hybal, so was the end problem a leak from the rear main seal, or from one of the welch/sump plugs as per your picture?
