Yup. Like the grip on warm days. Confidence inspiring but as I stated before... ABYSMAL life expectancy. I have a new set on the Guzzi right now I had put on at the same time I had a fluid change done and a leaking rear drive fixed. Over on the Guzzi site they call that ‘sorting’. As in ‘sorting the rear drive’. Apparently Guzzi adherents code for working out the bugs on a brand new bike. QA issues that should have never left the factory. Might be a Moto Guzzi business practice to cut cost by having the end user ‘sort’ a new bike before they can depend on it to get them home consistently. Never hear the need to ‘sort’ a brand new Honda. Still love the dang thing though. Riding it is a hoot!

Leaky shaft component?
Awl man, that would be un-fun.
I don't recall seeing/hearing about shaft drive leaks from any early 80's brand/model up to present time models. I hope Moto Guzzi isn't getting and staying lazy. They have some really desirable offerings.
