 I did notice lately that while in neutral the trans would make a little
noise. I ignored it I guess, and when I picked the bike up the other day

from getting some new tires, I had a hell of a time getting it into
neutral. Even when I did finally get it in, it would rattle and often
slip back into gear.

By the way, the engine & trans have only 1030 miles on them (really), so

I kind of doubt things are falling apart in there. Anyway, any & all
help would be greatly appreciated.

Did they replace the shift return spring when the trans was apart, and
is it properly centered? Does the bike shift normally otherwise? Have
you tried calling Mark at Moto Guzzi Classics?
