Without trying to be condescending but just to get an idea of your riding experience how much riding time and on what do you have. I ask only because the Guzzi technique tends to require you deliberately load the lever before you pull the clutch and roll the throttle. I see a lot of riders these days when I'm just walking about and they are riding the suburbs with the gear changes all clunky and horrible because they dont load the lever. On a Japanese bike you wont have an issue it will just deliver a clunky shift but on a Guzzi 6 speed it will result in missed shifts. Its also important to note that on a Guzzi you shouldnt be using 5th or 6th gear around town, or possibly even 4th as well. Like a lot of bikes the gearbox isnt spinning fast enough to give clean shifts at these speeds for the upper gears and a big twin engine wont like it either. You seem to be able to shift a Japanese bike into 6th at 60 kph for the most part so if you are used to them then it can be a bit of a shock to have to concentrate on shifting when you go to a Guzzi. You may know this already and sorry if that's the case. Very important to load the lever on the up and down shifts for it to give a clean and reliable shift 99% of the time. The major advantage of the extended shift lever is it requires more foot force or greater load on the shift lever (due to less leverage at the input arm) which when the clutch disengages the gearbox results in a reduced lever movement but also a faster action and cleaner shifts.
