[QUOTE="NC Ryder, post: 951838, member: 18226"] I put it in the closest terms I can make a parallel comparison to, that what I see in my Jeep Wrangler. In 1st gear I drive under normal speeds for that gear, however once I get slow enough (say 5mph or less) it will stall. Going into 1 Low it is still 1st gear but the actual gearing is lower. I can crawl from 1 to 5mph without stalling or issue. This is what I see on the bike as well, that with it showing in 1st gear it will be able to move down to around 5mph but then really starts to 'labor'. I then feel the same process of the bike being shifted, but it does this automatically. And after it does I can do very low speed manuevers without the fear of stalling. I do understand its an autoclutch, not an automatic, I shift it for all other gears from 1 to 5. I've had this bike for 3 years and its been like this ever since I bought it and prior to the throttle spring release change I just made. The only other non-standard piece of equipment that may be related (but I dont see how) is a Power Commander. As I said before, it physically 'shifts', you can feel it in the bike - not just the throttle smoothing the the PC does. I'd be interested hearing from other AE owners - If others have ideas, please let me know, thanks! [/QUOTE]
