Ok, the rainageddon has passed. Still pop ups around, but I can Shirley ride around them. I'm fully aware that if you spend a lot of money or do some work, you naturally think you did some good.
Shifting is *much* better. Props to Lucky Phil. I'm *really* aware of how the Mighty Scura shifts.. after all I've mainly ridden it in the SoCal canyons with constant shifting for 14000 miles. It's slick as snot. Neutral is just a click away..
Every time I ran into rain I turned around. Gave me more time to check out the shifting.
Eventually, the rain moved east, and I came back to the Guzzi Garage. (tm)
I wouldn't have thought that a couple of new springs and making the shift pawl flat would make such a difference, but it does. (Where's that thumbs up emoticon?)
BTW. Guzzi offers an updated shift assembly. Thanks again to Lucky Phil. P/N 01 20 16 41. Harpers wants a paltry $344.37 for it. Gulp. Ill make do, but it looks to me to be sturdier.
Put my riding gear out to dry, and called it a good day.
