First time I've seen that model that low...time to grab a spare....hehehehe..

Oooohhhh, just noticed the broken shifter spring, oh well

If it's "should be moderately easy to fix" he should just go ahead and fix it. :)

Cheap enough that it's even making me think about it. ;-)

Well, we do know you can herd, rope and brand them correctly...poor lost calf, off in the bushes, can't you help out?

 Broken shifter spring? Guzzi's still do that? That's almost what I paid for the one I had and it was crashed.

I have an `04 750 Breva w/48K miles on it and it's shifter spring hasn't broken yet.  Instead it needs a clutch repair and I just haven't gotten around to it yet 2 years later.

Is the spring inside the gearbox? part #GU32234110? Yea, "should be moderately easy to fix", moderately being the key word.

Saw that ad 6 months ago though he may have dropped the price since. Apparently no takers I that area. Is that the spring I've seen mentioned on this forum that requires removal of the gear box to repair?

Yes. Check out Harpers. Their online parts fiche is extensive. From the parts diagram, the shift pawl is attached to the shift drum in a slick conflaguration. Shift drum sits in transmission to be lubricated by oil splash.

Winter is a coming. This would be an excellent project. While your in there, might as well throw a new clutch on, new o-rings seals, clean and grease or replace bearings and get cables for GuzziDiag so you can truly tune the bike all by yourself. Who knows what PO put it through. After your done, you end up with 100,009 miles of fun till the next clutch job! Patience pays dividends ;) I'm gonna save this ad myself. Grab this when my current project load is down. Soon to be wife needs a ride all her own:) gonna be a honeymoon!

I can understand why it would be selling, and sympathise. It's a lot of work to replace a $5 part. My V7C snapped its return spring at 60,000km. I was quoted 6 hours labour minimum to do the job, so I lived with it happily for another 60,000km until the clutch started slipping. I was advised "you're retired aren't you?", so ended up doing it myself, with lots of stirling assistance & invaluable instructions from those who had gone before (on this site). Really big job first time taking the engine out & putting it back together again. A steep learning curve, but definitely worthwhile - for someone who has the time.
