Heel toe's great when you get used to it, sort of suits Cali riding.

.....and just another thought Khulu, all T3 Calis have a lot of slop in the linkage for the heel/toe but in all honesty yours is one of the least sloppy I have ever riden......mine must have an inch or more movement between changes
Johno and I had a discussion about it after he bought the bike and he tracked down a firm in the States that does modified bushes and stuff to tighten up the action so there is a way to do it if you feel the need. Personally I wouldn't, I love the way it encourages slow, lazy (yet assertive) gear changes. It just suits the vibe of the whole bike
Oh and incase you didn't know, your is a 'Merkin import and all the better for it, it's been really well look after and there is not a spot of corrosion anywhere so I'm guessing it came from a 'warm, dry' state. IMHO it's one of the nicest, original, ones out there so do it justice dude

Guzzi use shitty Clevis joints in their gear linkages with tons of slop, especially in the Cali with extra linkages.
On my old V7 Cali, I replaced it all with home made link rods and rose joints. Didn't cost much and all the slop disappeared.

Mum bought me a model of an 850GT when I was about 12, (still have it) got the real thing about 5 years ago.
