[QUOTE="mcatrophy, post: 1180267, member: 3187"] Small update. Having got a few more miles on the bike, I've been doing some higher-rpm gear-changes. Up-changes, hard(ish) accelerating 2nd to 3rd to 4th, no throttle movement, all you feel is your head nodding momentarily. Revs are controlled by the ECU, gearchange is quick and clean. It could be smoother, but only at the expense of performance. No perceptable clutch slip. You can defeat the up-change slightly by winding up the throttle just as you change gear. Catch it right (wrong?) you can excite the revs to rise too much, then you get the slow change while the clutch slips, dragging the engine speed down, but that's not easy to do, and unlikely in any normal riding. Down-changes at high(ish) rpm are also quick, not quite so smooth, probably because in the "new" gear, the declaration is suddenly greater. The above comments were all in "sport" mode. I've not used "touring" much, for normal riding it makes the bike too lethargic for me, so I can't comment on higher power/rpm gear-changes in touring mode. As far as I am concerned, a very significant improvement over my '10. [/QUOTE]
