So Im a newbie;
1. At a stop, perhaps having downshifted while slowing down into 2nd and with the clutch in put it into 1st (or thought so anyway b/c it certainly isn't in neutral), then try to start back up again and stall because it is in 2nd. This especially makes starting up a hill difficult.
Seems like you have to really stomp down to get it to go into first weather coasting, or stopped; when stopped sometimes you need to roll it a bit forward or back to get it to go into first.
Comments/ suggestions welcome
2. How high do you rev it generally before letting out the clutch in 1st. Not a maximum performace take-off, just a normal startup from a stop?
3. The owners manual has suggestions about when to switch gears, revs on these suggestions seem pretty low. Perhaps the suggestions are meant for the break-in period. How high do you generally rev before switching gears (say after break-in)?
4. Do you always know what gear your in? Or does it become sort of second nature? At this point I find myself counting.
Bike only has like 50 miles on it. I've had it about 2 weeks.
