I had a bit of trouble when I first started riding mine (now about 1700
miles on it), but discovered I just wasn't revving it up high enough. Mine's
still stiff if I try to go 1st to 2nd below about 20 to 25 mph (indicated). I
also have to downshift at higher speeds than I was previously accustomed to.
First is geared pretty high, and the 1st to 2nd difference between ratios is
pretty wide, so I generally shift 1 -> 2 at no less than 3,500 rpm, and
typically at 4,000 to 4,500 rpm.
