Well in a lot of ways I like it - no guessing about whether or not I got into gear, etc. I just wanted to make sure it was supposed to be that way. :)

Does the gear shift ever quiet down or is it always a loud bang? It doesn't bother me - but I just wanted to make sure it was normal. I know a lot of other bikes don't make that kind of noise.


H-D gearbox's are clunky, but you must be kind to them & not change down to soon.

From Top gear I change down to 3rd & then before I change down any more I wait until I am almost stationary then I go 2nd & just before I stop I plop it into 1st.

Another gizmo which is the 'GO' is one of these: http://www.haydensm6.com/m6_bt6595.htm

Reduces primary chain lash & makes your gear changes smoother.

Cheers, AL.
