[QUOTE="black mamba, post: 47581, member: 707"] I want to thank all you folks for your tips and advice on how to affect smooth shifting with the FJR. I think those that had / have the most problems in this area are ex -cruiser riders, like myself, who have looked upon shifting as a multi-phase operation. Rapidly shifting, trying to make the process more of a single movement, is certainly the way to go with this bike. It doesn't take a lot of clutch application and, most importantly, should not entail very much roll-off of the throttle. Like anything alien to procedures you have been doing for years, adapting to the rhythms of a new bike may take a while. I've got it now. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
