1973 Moto Guzzi Off of the Road for 40 Years Part 5, Rear Drive and Tire

Like you it's been 3 decades since I did motorcycle tyre I feel your frustration it should fairly straightforward but it never is!

Just found your channel and love old Moto Guzzi's, so very interested . One point you might consider, your model's rear-drive, apparently has a low level hole which allows for insufficient gear oil! Also, Guzzi says gear oil must be supplemented with molybdenum additive....340cc gear oil, 20cc moly for total of 360cc. Don,t trust your level hole! Motul makes a SAE 80/90 gear oil with moly already added. Hope this helps. Love your bike!

I will check that out. I have not seen that information anywhere before. Thanks for watching. There may be a paint job in that bike's future.

The Guzzi bible is Guzziology by Dave Richardson. Amazing knowledge and info. That's where I got the info. I have a 75 850T Same rear drive. Enjoy your Eldorado Tom
