GuzziV65TT
Cruisin' Guzzisti
Hi,
I have 2 guzzi's , a very early V35 with a late monza engine and my pride and joy a V65TT. Both seam to suffer from the oil getting very hot on long rides, even to the point of the crank thrust bearings getting a little noisy.
Was looking at the parts catalogues and noticed that the big end bearing shells etc are the same part numbers on my 1984 V65 TT as a 2011 V7 Cafe.
The modern efi bikes are spec'ed to use synthetic 10w60 because of the extra heat, can anyone see any issues using this in older small blocks like my v65tt? as the bearings are the same I cannot see the oil being an issue but would welcome some input!
