So this morning was my 3rd time out on the CBR, have not been back to the MSF yet, planning on next month depending up weather.
Today was the first time that I felt like I am making some significant progress in learning. I still need to be smoother with the shifting, I discovered that the CBR is much like my Mazda in that I don't need to pull the clutch lever so far in to be able to shift, and the same with the shifter lever; I was able to feel the actual point where it changes gears today and was previously being a little too rough with it.
I can hear a very audible click with each shift; -with more experience will this go away? Am I putting too much force with the shift lever? Or is this normal.
Next question for you guys is about gloves. I have a set of Honda gloves, they are part leather, part textile. They are the kind that come pre shaped with curved fingers. They fit great with the exception of the left hand thumb. It is tight and I really can't reach the turn signal without looking down, and stretching it.
I am going to sit here and try to loosen it up it out some; but if that does not help, I'll be shopping for new gloves. Anyone encountered this before?
