| Greetings, new to the forum, and new owner of a brand new GRiSO 2017. Rode it home from the dealer about 120 miles, did my speed swings, low high RPM but never over 5000 -- love this bike!. After I got home after the 120 miles ride I noticed some oil dripping... noticed under engine coated with some oil which seems to be coming from the front..(see red circle). I checked the oil level and it seemed over the high mark ( with bike really hot ). Any ideas?? could it be too much oil from the dealer?? I dont think they did a good job getting the bike ready since I had to get some bolts tight as well... Is it normal for the GRiSO ?? I have a V7 III Stone too and it has never dripped once in 4500 miles  [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]I cleaned it up and will be monitoring...Should I do anything else?? Thank you in advance Giuseppe | |

| If it is indeed coming from under the belt cover then it is most likely the front crank seal leaking. It's not a huge job to replace but I'd take it back and get it done under warranty and ask them to make sure the alternator belt hasn't been contaminated.

| Pop off the belt cover, seven 5mm Allen's I thinkand if the oil is dribbling from behind the crank pulley then it's the seal.

| Hello, brought the beast in to the Guzzi dealer and it was confirmed that it needs a new crank shaft seal... it will be done in warranty ... However it can take 2 weeks  Thank you! Giuseppe | |

| Early engines had an issue with the rear main flange. This bike has just got a dud front seal.

Pete Duh me! Don't know why I got confused with the rear seal/flange issue. Getting old... | |
