[QUOTE="kirrbby, post: 180964, member: 3972"] Your shifting issue...it may very well be technique. The clutch is basically a centrifugal type clutch. When the RPM s are high, it's engaged. When the RPM s drop...at idle, it disengages and allows a smooth shift. The shift lever does 2 jobs. It acts as a clutch lever/pedal. Just like your other bike, or your car. When you move the shift lever up or down it disengages the clutch...just like your car...then let it out easy...just like your car. The shift lever also changes gears each time you move it up or down...disengages the clutch and changes gears simultaneously. Riding along, in gear, at high RPMs, let off the throttle, allow the RPM to drop slightly, then change gears slow(er) just like in your car. I've heard it's tough to find neutral with a 1d 3up...or similar, shift pattern, and semi-auto clutch. Maybe easiest when stopped and at idle. You maybe need to adjust the clutch preload adjuster too. Were you able to make sense of that procedure? [/QUOTE]
