Anyone have any shifting tips? I'm having a heck of a time getting smooth upshifts. I'm not new to bikes but I DID just come from a Harley. Bike before that was an ER-6N so it's not my first naked/sport/metric bike.
When I picked it up from the dealer on Wednesday, it did have what I considered to be excessive throttle play. Got that reduced to a few millimeters but I'm still having problems. Not sure if I'm just not used to it in general, or if it's the clutch and/or throttle I'm not used to.
Now that I get to thinking about it, I wonder if it may be my clutch technique. On the Harley I would pull the clutch all the way in to shift. On my previous (metric) bikes (ER-6N, KLR650) I would only pull the clutch in slightly.
Ideas?
