Just got it firing!
Hi new to the forum, but not Guzzis, I have just acquired a 2007 Norge with 34,000 kms, I don't know what oils are in the bike, so I am going to dump them and start again, Motor 10w60 is a given, but as the motor is dry clutch there is no need to use motorcycle oil? I was thinking a 10w60 oil that meets bmw m series or Aston Martin specs? liquid moly, helix ultra, castrol supercar, motul 8100, quartz racing, motrex.
Transmission and final drive 85/90 weight hypoid gear oil, that is almost a single grade lubricant, my shifting starts off nice and smooth (for a Guzzi) and seems to get a bit clunkier as the oil thins out, any thoughts on a larger viscosity spread? (85/140?) or adding moly to the mix, or any full synthetic gear oils, again sorry for the oil questions but it is important. my last Guzzi was a V11 le mans Tenni, and before that a mk11 le mans, so the V11 was the same tranny as the norge but I remember it shifted with a bit less of a "clunk" than this one, again I have no idea what is in the gearbox or final drive other than they are both at the correct levels.
