Is the v7 Stone (2013) a keeper?

actually with Guzzi it's best to take the answer you get from 4 out of 5 responses. it will be more accurate than the book.
rear drive from my old memory 170 ml about 5.6 oz but it's easiest to get the bike level and fill it up to level from the hole that's at 9 O'clock. use Mobil 1 75-140.
six speed uses 1/2 liter of oil the 5 speed 1 liter. use Mobil 1 75-90
the engine uses 1.8 liter of 10-60 I prefer Motul. reasonable if bought on the internet. about $45 for 4 liters to your door. the older V7's have a oil drain hole in front and in back. drain both. filter is in front I change at the first service then every other service. the 2017 has just 1 drain.
remember the castings are thin. don't over torque the fasteners.
If you overfill the engine oil it will spit it into the air box and you will need a new filter.
for what it's worth the Kobalt tools at Lowes are darn fine tools. the newer Craftsman suck.
75 140 in the gear box? The gear box calls for like 85-90. The 140 would be for the differential.
 
Such a shame some don't want to help others that are willing to learn.
The service manual I have has the following list regarding oils, I hope this may clear up some air. (If they are indeed correct)
My manual also has a guide for removing the engine, if you would like I can link it to you :)

The rear drive unit (aka "differential", although it isn't a differential since it is only turning one wheel) is the "transmission" in the Moto Guzzi nomenclature. It is specced for the heavier weight oil.

What (at least us Americans) tend to call the "transmission" is referred to as the "gearbox" in the Moto Guzzi nomenclature. It is specced for the lighter weight oil.

This is a very common misunderstanding.

Capite?
 
We have had confusion on the forum because of the wording between Italy and America. That being said I mis-read that post.
