I OBSERVED THREE POTENTIAL SAFETY DEFECTS IN MY RECENTLY PURCHASED 2015 MOTO GUZZI V7 SPECIAL. CLUTCH - I OBSERVE A RUBBER BAND ATTACHED BETWEEN THE CLUTCH RELEASE LEVER AND THE NEUTRAL SWITCH. THIS RUBBER BAND WAS PREVENTING THE COMPLETE DISENGAGEMENT OF THE CLUTCH, WHICH RESULTED IN MY INABILITY TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AT STOPS. IT ALSO PREVENTED PROPER CLUTCH CABLE ADJUSTMENT UNTIL IT WAS REMOVED. HEAD NUT-STUD SWARF ' WHILE PERFORMING THE REQUIRED 1ST MAINTENANCE SERVICE, I OBSERVED SWARF (METAL MACHINING WASTE) LODGED BETWEEN TWO OF THE CYLINDER HEAD NUTS-STUDS. THIS SWARF WAS REMOVED TO ALLOW PROPER HEAD RE-TORQUE. I ALSO OBSERVED SMALL PIECES OF METAL WASTE ON ENGINE OIL DRAIN PLUG MAGNET. METAL DEBRIS CIRCULATING WITHIN THE ENGINE COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE A SEIZURE. NO O-RING SEAL ' I OBSERVED A FLUID LEAK AT THE FINAL DRIVE UNIT (TRANSMISSION). THE LEAKING FLUID WAS BEING SLUNG ONTO THE RIGHT SIDE OF REAR TIRE TREAD. I DISASSEMBLED THIS FINAL DRIVE UNIT AND OBSERVED THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAD FAILED TO INSTALL THE REQUIRED O-RING SEAL. I PROPERLY INSTALLED THE MISSING O-RING SEAL TO STOP THE LEAK AND AVOID A LOSS OF TRACTION FROM THE OIL ON THE TREAD.
