Be glad you don't have an older Guzzi. Laying on the floor undoing about 18 bolts to change the oil
filter. What a pita!
.....

Same process on a2000 guzzi Jackal only without the benefit of a center stand.

With a center stand is a bitch. Without must be a double bitch.


As a nod to "superior" Japanese engineering and design, you have to
unbolt the skid plate on the front of my truck to change the oil filter.

I think only the "offroad" 4WD models have the skidplate. If I lived in
the Souf', I would have skipped the 4WD altogether. But the two times I
drove in the snow this past winter, it was nice to have the traction and
control.

If you're not going to do any off-roading, why not take off the skid plate?



I got "free" (ha!) oil and filter changes for life or something like
that when I bought the truck.
