Tuned and Synch'ed
Some years ago, Guzzi gear expert (the late?) Charlie Cole told me never to use synthetic of GL-5 oil in my 1100 Stone Touring model gearbpx due to the "plastic" ball bearing cages collapsing from the use of synthetic oil or GL-5 grade gearbox oils. In fact, his old website "Zydeco Racing" still contains this warning.
I recently acquired a lovely, low miles (12K) '04 Breva 750 and I'm anxious about the likelihood of the phenolic resin caged bearings being in its gearbox.
Can anyone who has been inside one of these 5-speeds advise me on this?
Thanks in advance,
Ralph
