[QUOTE="duggram, post: 412654, member: 14448"] First, has anyone else had problems with their shifter sticking in the up and down position after a shift? Had the bike back to the dealer this morning and they didn't have much to say. Got my '08 last night and didn't get to ride it but home. This morning I had to be at the dealer at 9 to have the GPS tracking/anti-theft thing installed. Two hours later I finally get to head out on my own. Wow! I've never owned a bike like this. It's always been roadsters and dirt bikes. Love the power and handling. The top heavy feeling up front when cornering was fine once I figured out that I could slide high on the seat to balance it out. Got a little nervous about the warning to take it easy till the tires are scuffed in. If you take it easy how do the tires get scuffed in? Anyway, on the way home I noticed that up shifting had stopped sticking, but down shifting would still hesitate too much. It's not deal breaker but it is irritating. Doug [/QUOTE]
