    V85 TT crown wheel ring nut tension.

    I haven't been able to find ANY torque specs for the fasteners on my V85tt. Don't know why, maybe an Italian thing? Good luck.

    V85TT trans failure--help?

    Can't go wrong using what the manufacturer recommends. I used it in my BMW gearbox as well as my Harley-Davidsons with no adverse affects. It seems to shift better also. Use what you want; that's what I do.

    v85tt mileage

    First mileage following break-in and break-in maintenance. 55.7 before, 55.2 mpg after. YMMV.

    V85TT trans failure--help?

    According to my owners manual, both gearbox and final drive call for 75W140. Page 246.

    V85TT trans failure--help?

    My dealer is in Ohio while I live in Indiana, so I do my own maintenance. The owners' manual doesn't call for the gearbox oil to be changed at first maintenance, however, my kit I purchased to do the maintenance included gear oil and washer for the gearbox drain plug. The only way to check the...

    v85tt mileage

    Checked mileage twice during break-in. Both times got 55.7 mpg. Haven't checked since break-in was reached. I'm never too far from a gas station. I wouldn't hesitate to travel on my V85tt; don't miss my R1200 GS at all. Did I mention how beautiful this motorbike is?...

    V85TT NHTSA RECALL NOTICES

    Getting close to 800 miles with no further leakage from the final drive. The break-in service is due at 900, according to the owners' manual. I already have all the parts and fluids to complete the work, (hopefully, the valve cover gaskets are reusable. We shall see). I'm really liking this...

    V85TT Registry and pic thread

    The thing is just drop dead gorgeous. Had a bunch of magazines I hadn't read, then they closed the library due to this virus thing, so I had nothing to read. Started in on my BMWMOA mags first. Saw an ad with Ewan McGregor standing by this V85tt. Was immediately intrigued by the looks, so I did...

    V85TT - spoked wheels with tubes but tubeless Tyres !

    When I started riding, all the bikes around had spokes; never gave it a thought. Yeah, I prefer a tubeless set up, but I didn't let that sway me from purchasing my V85tt. My Harley Davidson and my Suzuki both have spokes/inner tubes. I'm not gonna worry about it; but that's just me...

    V85TT air filter.

    I also was wondering about the service reminder. I had a tool to reset my BMW service reminder; nothing like that for my Guzzi yet, I guess. I will be hard pressed to travel 125 miles just to get it reset.

    Larger Grips?

    I've ordered a set for my v85tt from the guy that makes beemer buddies. I did the measurements and sent him a check. Should be anytime soon. I do prefer a thicker grip. They worked well on my BMW, even with the heated grip function. My Guzzi doesn't have heated grips, just trying for comfort and...

    V85TT NHTSA RECALL NOTICES

    2020 V85tt. Purchased bike in April 2020. Dealer delivered 125 miles to my driveway. Traded my '09 BMW R1200GS. First ride about 40 miles; really pleased. After ride beer, I noticed a small amount of oil on rear rim. Wiped it up and didn't worry about it. Next day, did some research and found a...

    V85TT Registry and pic thread

    Traded in my R 1200GS for this Italian beauty last month. After 80 miles, had a grueling week having a rear drive seal repair. After 200 miles, I'm really liking the way this bike handles. Gonna go Loctite the bash plate hardware after lunch. Good times...

    V85TT issues and Loose Bits

    Gonna go check out my hardware after lunch. Only got a little over 200 miles on my V85TT, 'cause they had to do a recall on the rear drive seal leak. I really like the bike, traded in my R1200GS. Haven't missed it much. I always have Loctite, I work on my own bikes.
