r/MotoGuzzi_v85TT

Just finished the 10,000 km service at 10,141 km. They replaced the oil and filter and adjusted the valves, but the mechanic mentioned the engine was about 500ml low on oil. The valves were a bit loose, which makes me suspect the 1,500 km or 5,000 km services (done by the previous owner at the official dealership) might not have included a proper valve clearance check. I bought the bike with 8200 kilometers on the clock.

The engine was running a bit lean previously, but it’s hard to tell if that’s just because I’m coming from a liquid-cooled Yamaha MT-07. I’m curious to see if this service makes a noticeable difference in how it runs. I'm planning to replace the final drive oil around 12,000–13,000 km and the gearbox oil at 15,000 km. Has anyone else had a similar experience with their V85 TT?

Been riding the V85TT through the Dolomites (and the surrounding area) and figured I'd start filming it properly. No talking, no music - just the twin and the road.

First few videos are up. Would love to know what fellow Guzzisti think of the sound.

Hey all, I love my V85tt. But just for fun I’m curious if anyone here has SOLD their V85tt, why you sold and what you bought instead? Was it the right decision for you in the end?

I have various jackets and ride pants. Most are set for colder rides. As I see retirement coming, I'd like a warmer weather set. What are the opinions of AETHER Mojave 2.0 vs Aerostich Darien/AD-1 vs Revit Potental/sand5.0 ? Prices are getting stupid, but I'm ok with buying one good set.

I refuse to wear my trail boots, so Sidi Canyons are still tops. BTW I'll be riding 95% road.
