Hi all.
Has anyone had a problem with their bike jumping out of 6th gear when under load? The bike is a 2019 and the problem only appeared on the ride home from its 12,000 service and new tyres being fitted. The gearbox oil is fine, l changed it the next day and 700cc came out and no signs of swarf.It's got me stumped: can't see how a service and wheel fitting could have caused this.
 
That's what l'm starting to believe is the cause of the problem Kevin. I hope it is;the bike is out of warranty (even though it was unused during the 2 lockdowns in the UK)and l don't want to have to pay for a gearbox rebuild if l wasn't the cause of the problem.
 
True; it's a new one on me too. My son spotted this- there looks to be scoring on the lower rose joint on the selector rod, or are they all like this?

Well, two months (and 2 PCP payments) have passed and l still haven't got my bike back. What makes it worse is that l have just found out that Guzzis now come with a 4 year warranty! Of course my 3 year old bike doesn't qualify. Is it worth my while to contact Piaggio for a goodwill claim? Somehow l doubt it.
 
The Warranty Extension only applies to the V7 / V85 /V9 platforms and only to the E5 specification motorcycles.

23/9/2022 At last! I'm back on the road again! Piaggio really should sort out their spares back-up. 3 1/2 months without my bike! So happy to be back on the road again though. I can finally scrub in the Pilot 5's that were fitted in June!
 
Hmmm. I e-mailed Piaggio at the beggining of October to ask (politely) if they could shed any light on how a tyre change could cause this problem & if they could help in any way towards the £880 bill. No reply yet!
 
Why does everybody send all of this anger towards Piaggio? They tell you what the warranty is upfront. 2 years, unlimited mileage.

Then, when people have an issue, they get mad at Piaggio because the warranty isn't more than what they initially represented it is.

This seems awful petty to me.

I feel for you but mechanical things break. Either by a structural defect or operator misuse I find it incredibly difficult to believe that your gearbox just grenaded on its own. Did you get the replaced parts back? Those would elucidate a great deal.

Nevertheless, to ask Piaggio to absorb any of your repair bill after the fact, is going to fall on deaf ears. I would expect nothing less.

I get what you're saying, my concern is that it will happen again after a rear tyre change and l'm curious to know if they had any thoughts on the cause Considering that the bike wasn't used for several months of the warranty period because of Covid lockdowns in the UK l thought that some allowances could be made. I'm a parts advisor at a Nissan dealers so l know that warranties can be quite flexible and any suspect parts are returned for inspection.
I have no grievance with Piaggio, in fact next summer's V100 will be my 5th Guzzi!
