[QUOTE="SkooterG, post: 417229, member: 118"] Often, preceived shifting problems are just the result of getting accustomed to the shifting characteristics of a new bike. I know I had to adjust my shift lever up on my new FJR to execute proper shifts comfortably. 150 miles is not much time to get to know and feel comfortable with your new steed, especially coming from a cruiser/Harley. Give it a few more hundred miles for the FJR to break in, and for you to get used to it. After that, if you still feel there is a problem, have another FJR rider in your area give it a spin to get their take on things. That is the only way to know if you have an actual problem, or if it's just how you are adapting to the bike. I wouldn't trust a dealer. Seriously. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
