That's one reason I like a heal shifter as well. It then is almost like stomping on the shifter to make it shift, even though you don't actually stomp. But it sure looks and sorta feels like it. You may change your mind if you put a few thousand miles on it or a full season. But if in your heart of hearts you want a Harley, then nothing will do until you have one. Been there, won't go back. But I got my Harley fix if you would.:grin:This bike takes a firm hit of my foot to shift, its a bit stiff but its likely a combination of not being used in years and maybe not being broken in yet.
Like I said, the clutch doesn't slip under power, so I'm not too concerned. Someone mentioned to me that maybe its a function meant to prevent downshifting to a lower gear and over-revving the motor?
I sort of wish they did these twins more like HD with a single carb though, it would have been far easier to work on. Getting at the carbs on this is way too much work.
I'm having my doubts about how long I'll keep this one already.
