Drop the exhaust system for access. To change the copper exhaust gaskets I found it really easy to drop the entire exhaust system off the V7ii. Remove the four exhaust nuts. Remove the two Lambda. Remove the two silencer bolts. Pull forwards. The system will drop, an assistant might be handy. If you have not fitted the centre stand, do so, maintenance is so much easier.
The various V7 marques use different amounts of oil - do check your book. The spark plugs often come out of the box at 0.9mm gap. I have had a garage fit them at that, and they misfire. They must be set to 0.70mm as the book says (this is the normal gap for electronic ignition). The "0.70" to 2.d.p. means 0.695 to 0.704, exactly 0.70mm.
Glad to be of help! I bought a complete service kit from the website 'gutsibits' - code for V7 full kit 'SIA28001' . I think the code for the individual O ring is ENA90444 - but double check this is the correct o ring. It might be worth emailing them if you are unsure. Good luck and thanks for your message.
Bonjour. Où puis-je trouver les codes des « Crush Washers » 1:20 ? (Ils n'apparaissent pas dans les manuels d'atelier) Merci beaucoup pour votre réponse. ((J'utilise un traducteur, pardonnez les erreurs))
Hi there, - M10 Crush Washer - Guzzi ref. 25656100, 01528930, AP9150472, 95100309, 887879, 25656102, 486075, AP8163091 SIA10900 - (part number on the website 'Gutsibits' where I bought my service kit) I'm pretty sure it's this - I bought a complete service kit and they were included so I did not order them separately. Might be worth double checking. Thanks
@@robinfrench1914 Thank you very much. I will check all the codes. I recently bought a V7 Cafe. I had a fault. The fault indicator came up, and it went out on the road (although it was able to start in the workshop afterwards). I am in contact with Guzzi collectors. If you have any questions in the future, you can write to me. Regards.
I never got round to making a video for that but I know a good video on youtube - 'Moto Guzzi Breva 750 Gearbox & Bevel Drive Oil Change' from the channel 'Mike's Machines' . Different bike but identical process, maybe cross check with v7 service manual to be certain. It's a very easy job - goodluck.
different models - even if the V7 and V7 Racer- have different locations for gearbox drain plug- Mine is so close to the rear exhaust bypass that cannot extract the plug. The service manual does not even discuss it. I did it once but I think maybe I altered the position of the crossover pipe with the pitbull stand and made it move closer to the drain plug which come out horizontally.. or maybe I have lost my mind?? Lol Thx for your reply
@@louismartin4446 Hmm - Which model do you have? The V7 Classic? I think I had the same problem as you but I removed one side of the exhaust and then unbolted the part that's close to the plug (zgu1006). Have you tried that? Or perhaps a spanner might fit in instead of a socket? I guess you've already tried that. If that doesn't help ask the people on Moto Guzzi V7 UK facebook group - they'll have the answer.
@@robinfrench1914 HI, Yes used spanner but cannot remove plug all the way…and not enough to drain any oil. It’s a 2012 V7 Racer. I find it odd that I would have to remove exhaust..but that is easy- just annoying. I wonder why they do not address it in the manual. Gear oil doe does not get contaminated and lasts a long time. Maybe they just assume you will remove the exhaust and do the change every 12000 mile or so? LOL…I do not see any damage (warp or bending ) to the crossover pipe but I serioously think my Pitbull leverage tragel musdt be hitting that pipe and I am not sensing it when I lift the bike. The Pitbull I have is made especially for the V7 given its cross brace at the bottom. I did not have the patience to further investigate any interference there and just decided I would look into it at the next fluid change in 3000 km or so ….Thanks again for your help with this Robin…..Louis, Canada

Widzę, że robiłeś rosół! Pozdrowienia z Polski, dziś planuję zmianę oleju w Moto Guzzi V7 II Stone z 2016 :)
rosół and V7, this is a great combination... 🤝

Hey Robin, thank you for the video! very helpful! can you please tell me how you found the o-rings?

@@robinfrench1914 thanks mate! :)
Serious, there is no reason to change the o-ring.
Only the crush washer.

What about gearbox oil?

Ah I see, yes it's a bit of a faff to have to remove the exhaust just for this job. Nice one, thanks Louis.
