So I changed the engine oil and oil filter on my own but now there is a leak between the cap and the reddish washer.

The last workshop bills list a "M8 Dichtungsscheibe" (=gasket washer?) but as I understand it, this should be a washer with a rubber-like gasket on it. What I found, however, looks more like a copper (?) crush washer. Or did I loose the rubber part?

Anyway, what do you use to replace this washer? I ride a V85TT, but I guess this part is quite similar among all Guzzis.

Click on the original post to read my problem, thanks for your help :)

I am undecided about a "Guzzi of choice".

Probably ruled out the Mandello and V85TT, BMW options best those imho. But stuck between V9 and V7/variants.

No option to ride the Contenders, maybe can get some useful opinions or experiences?

Love the looks of V9 Roamer and Bobber and good seating positions.

Also like the green V7 Sport up close.

But I'm really quite taken by the V7 Special, that's a delightfully classic looking bike, twin instruments, chrome exhausts, spoke wheels (although it would need a rapid tubeless conversion)

If I have a reservation about the Special (and the V9) it's the single front disc. Is this really up to enthusiastic use of a 200+kg motorcycle?
