If you guys are riding in any rain/salt treat the bike to some ACF-50 the stuff is amazing.

I'm glad the fasteners are one tight until I need to remove them. I've had a lot of fasteners come loose every bike loses one or two in the first few thousand miles it seems.

Jay, the MG uses a dry clutch. The oil for that thing is unicorn blood though as it's very hard to find 10w60 4t Synthetic. The Rotella I used in my previous Triumph and Vstrom it's the T6 5-40 synthetic, JASO MA rated. It costs 15-20 dollars a quart for the Guzzi and 3.5 quarts every 6k miles.

I'm quite familiar with screw adjustable valves as my Stelvio uses those, it takes about an hour to adjust both as the covers are fully exposed on the sideways vtwin. It's probably the easiest bike out there to adjust valves on. I'm looking forward to 70mpg for commuting though as the MG averages 32-40mpg.
