Just finished lubing the suspension, swinging arm and headstock on the Griso and after 60,000Kms since 2016, I really needn't have bothered as there was copious grease (except in the suspension linkages but they were clean) and everything moved smoothly. However the Griso was a different story, bearing (no pun intended) in mind it had never been used in the winter at all. Bone dry everywhere and the headstock bearings needed to be replaced. Its not meant to sound frustrating, just one of those weird anomalies that come along every so often that make having Guzzis so wonderful.
The un-uniformity of their construction shows a direct lineage back to the foibles and uniqueness of human beings that put these bikes together IMHO.
