Re: [ST] I Need HELP Going from 1st to 2nd Gear

[Erik Miner <Axeis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A couple of things seem to help. First make sure the clutch cable is 
adjusted to spec  (it's in the owners manual) second try to preload 
the shift lever before pulling in the clutch and making the shift. 
Those two things ought to make it much better.
