I had this issue when I first acquired my T1. There was so much slop in the linkage from lever to gearbox that most of the movement at the lever was being lost by the time it got to the gearbox. I re-set angles, replaced clevises (and maybe a ball end, I think) and it's been right ever since.

Mine just plopped onto the mat.

Thank you very much for sorting it out for me, see you there.

If there's one left, can I take it please?

I don't know how old your Triking is, but if it's older than 25yrs, it may be worth checking the cost of Peter James' specialist insurance for Vintage Motor Cycle Club members. Mine (T1, 42 yrs old) was a minimal-cost, admin charge only, addition to my existing motorcycle policy, but both of my sons...

I'll be there in the T1.

I never miss a Founder's Day!

Fingers crossed it doesn't get crashed into like it has on its previous two attendances.

Some idea of numbers will be useful. Please post here if you would like a 2026 Triking Calendar.

I'd like one too, please.

caveat: I've never had a big-block later than 1989, so your oil vent/return system may differ from my understanding, but... This used to be a relatively common issue on round barrel era Guzzis, so my carry forward to yours. It happens when crankcase pressure increases, possibly due to bad ring blow-...

2016 Stelvio had roller tappets, so it's not that.
is that with the engine hot or cold?
What air intake system are you using?
It can be a symptom of poor injector spray pattern caused by gummed-up injectors, maybe give 'em a clean and try again.

I have a fair bit of experience with 'Easyout' stud extractors. None of it has been good. I've not used them since having to shell out for spark erosion to remove the inevitably-broken one from an irreplaceable bit of Laverda. The only ones I've used which have been any good have been parallel-sided...

I could have really done with that gazebo on the way home. The storm hit while we were crossing Pitsford causeway, not much shelter on there, I reckon we'd have been drier driving through the reservoir.
