    Stiff Shifting

    to the OP, make sure you've totally released the shifter back to its normal spot from the shift BEFORE, if its still slightly engaged it won't shift smoothly, or at all... i had that problem before i adjusted my shift lever down a little as i had to basically lift my foot right off it was so high

    does yours stutter a bit?

    yeah probably just below that, feels normal to accelerate from below 5-6 but maybe i just gotta get the motor on song a little more, it feels to torque-y down there!

    does yours stutter a bit?

    definately warm, i expect it when cold it could be that i'm not high enough through the revs to be accellerating (ie, should knock it back a gear) but i'm still a little fearful of the front coming up if i give it a big wrist-full

    does yours stutter a bit?

    hey guys, my bikes quite new to be still and i'm still getting used to it, but i wanted to get an idea if your bikes when accelerating and decellerating kind of 'chug' a little... hard to explain, but imagine your accellerating, is it a straight up WAAAAAAAAAAAA through the revs or does it...
