You have forgotten. TONS of roads inland SD Co do it. I’m more concerned now with Steve’s comment above.

I said that cause I seen it happen in the BMW crowd, go in for service & they download everything motor has done from ECU. Don't know how this ECU works yet. OR if the dash retains this info. Also could be folks from Guzzi read it. You never know.
I'd be cautious posting stuff on a forum.
I'm glad the bike performs though, nice to know.

Is this socket a good fit ?

Haven't tried it, yet, but dealer said it was a 12 pt 65 mm.
The nut is also a bit thicker than some i have seen, so should be ok.

Might have enough clearance to wrap a bit of electrical tape to lessen tool marks on the nut.
 
I'm learning more about it as i ride.
Some minor things i haven't seen in the videos are : 1st to neutral stop when bike isn't moving, much like the '73 Kaw Z1.
Zero movement of bike if side stand is down.
I tried to rock the bike to make sure stand was secure.
Wouldn't budge a fraction of an inch.
The dealer had mentioned a " parking brake " and it does that whether the ignition is on or not.
The grip warmer function is a PITA in that there is not a direct button.
You have to go through the inst menu which is difficult , especially on the move.
When you shut the bike off, if defaults to the warmers turned off.

If the weather ever improves, I’ll look for you on the road!
 
Hmmm... a “smart” bike....
I don’t know how I feel about that...!
Honestly... right now it’s a turn OFF
for me....
