Was it just a matter of removing a heim joint and backing off a few threads?

Yep, I loosened both heim joints on the tie rod and extended them a few threads just until the foot shift lever no longer bottomed out.

I had issues with getting to 1st on my V85 - turned out to be the shifter was misadjusted from the dealer. Worth checking on that as well - works great now. I thought maybe it was a weird Guzzi thing - nope.
Maybe yours had the same "too short" shifter tie rod adjustment?
