Sorry if this is in the wrong location, I didn't see a model specific forum for the V7 III.
I recently dropped the oil sump pan on my brand new 2018 V7 III (Carbon Dark). To my surprise there was no gasket or sign of any silicone or other form of sealant. I'm not certain how it managed to not leak from the factory, but after putting it back and re-torqueing the bolts oil leaks everywhere.
Looking through the various Guzzi manuals (bike specific parts manual, 750 euro 4 engine manual, etc.) I see a lot of conflicting diagrams/pictures. Usually they conflict even within the same manual. Some diagrams show a gasket, some do not. The techs at my local Guzzi dealer unfortunately were not familiar and couldn't provide direction. It looks like Guzzi redesigned the oil sump for the 2018 V7 III, which might contribute to the conflicting references.
The Guzzi part number for the gasket (when shown) is 1A005211, so I have one on the way to see what happens. Oddly the pictures of this gasket on the sites I found them available at do not match the pictures/diagrams of the gasket from Guzzi's manuals.
My question is does anyone know if there is supposed to be a gasket and can confirm the correct part number? Barring getting my hands on a correct OEM gasket I plan to use Permatex or some other appropriate gasket sealant.
Does anyone have familiarity with this?
Thank You!
