Hello all,
I have a 2019 CB1000R with about 250 miles on it. I love the motorcycle but I feel like it does not shift as smooth as I expected. My previous bike was a 2015 Kawasaki Vulcan S and I never really thought about the smoothness of the shifting.
Some times when upshifting, the NSC "clicks" into gear very smoothly, and other times it takes more effort to upshift into gear, almost like "two clicks" to engage into gear.
There have been a few times while quickly upshifting that I have "mis-shifted" where the revs jump and the indicator displays "-" and then the transmission clunks back into gear after the revs drop.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is this normal? Will the shifts improve after the 600 mile service? Are my expectations too high? I have a notion that my expectations may be too high considering the Gilles Shift Holder aftermarket part was developed for "crisper" shifts. Perhaps this is normal and I am not used to this type of gear box.
Thank you everyone in advance for the help!
