[QUOTE="DonRed7, post: 444330, member: 4252"] It is quite obvious now that 07' machines have some less than tranny friendly clutch plate disengagement issues,..Some have disks that were not soaked long enough at the factory and the changed slave cylinder for a lighter feel means less disengagement movement. Yadda,,yadda.... A couple of weeks ago i set my lever to the full out position #1 instead of my more finger friendly mid position #3. I was quite impressed with the change in upshift feel and those "double click shift's" were much less common yet still relative to my ** Concentration Level**... Yes!!! with this machine YOU have to use an extra bit of grey matter to change gears,..preload a bit or whatever. Also,... after you have knuckled the lever out all the way try this in the Morning : Instead of just pulling in the clutch and dumping it into first and getting that annoying clunk. Try giving the lever two quick pulls and then dropping to 1st. That morning clunk can't be good for stuff... -Don [/QUOTE]
