Hello, fellow Guzzi enthusiasts.
I've got some worries about my 2022 Guzzi V7 850 Special, so, to all of the V7 owners, especially for those with the 2021+ models, please read the following:
Prerequisites:
Model: V7 850 Special 2022
Kilometers: 2700 km +/-
1st Oil Service: at about 800 km
Kilometers on the current oil: about 1900-2000 km
Engine oil quantity used when the oil change was made: 1750 ml of oil
Breaking in was made using a progressive but firm throttling throughout all the RPM range and engine braking, and I haven't used it in town when it was in the breaking in period.
Worries:
In the last two days I've rode for about 800 kilometers on twisty roads, sometimes gave it the beans a bit, about 250 km of highway with speeds between 100 and 130 km/h etc. I've noticed that the oil level dropped a little from the Max mark to a level between the middle of the sight glass and the Max mark when the engine is warm.
There is no smoke and there are no visible leaks. I've removed the air filter and notice that there was a little bit of oil on the bottom of it, as it can be seen in the attached pictures.
The oil level was correctly measured on a plane surface with the hot engine, on the same surface it was measured after the oil change was performed.
Is it normal for the V7 to consume oil at such low mileage?
I've kept reading on the www and some people said that the oil consumption disappeared after 10-15.000 kilometers because it took that long for the engine to bed in.
Some other folks are saying that the perfect oil level for the V7 is right in the middle of the sight glass and it shouldn't burn any oil and the 1.75 liters of oil is too much, and about 1.5 liters should be used.
Anyone here is having the V7 850 engine and it is willing to share a story about this subject? Does your burn oil? If yes, how much and how can this issue be addressed.
By the way, this in the picture is the oil level with the cold engine. When it is warm it raises a bit more, but not to the top mark as It was.
Can you please share your thoughts about this?
