I had to make the lever and the black bracket it was mounted to and buy a different lever for the transmission shaft. With that transmission, getting into 3rd gear took a little more lever travel than the others, and it was easy to miss that one. Reversing the pattern really helped. I sold the Guzzi when I decided I was done with 500+ lb. motorcycles, and replaced it with a Yamaha MT-07 that weighs right around 400 lbs.
