Ok, do you "fast shift" or "slow shift"?

[mxboy96]

I've found if I don't have to silently blast by a Harley and make him **** himself(hehe), my '05 fancies a slow shift. It seems if anything above 3-3500rpm and really getting on the throttle it seems to 'catch' when I shift, just doesn't feel right. So I like to shift down low round 3K, and give it a sec after pullin the clutch, just seems to mesh a lot smoother to me. I'm kind of hoping they smoothed that out on the gen2's....Maybe it's just me, who knows

For those who really, REALLY like "clutch-less" shifting, I refer you to THIS thread...

.....and there was a driveway involved.....we won't name that driveway. Best left unsaid.

How did I post without voting?

Perhaps, like mine at home, your vote doesn't count.

At least here you get to post an opinion.

Careful.....yer treading on thin ice.....jsns.

It's definitely just you (or possibly your bike). I seldom ride my FJR below 3k rpm, never mind shifting up there.

The FJR will shift nice and smooth at pretty much any rpm. Maybe your clutch is dragging a little too much?
