[QUOTE="NC Ryder, post: 987089, member: 18226"] The downshifting on the AE automatically happens under the conditions that mcatrophy describes, in a much better way than I can. To me it seems to translate to, as you slow down, the bike is in first gear and the dropping RPMs reach the threshold that the clutch disengages and then re-engages to accomodate the lower speed and prevent 'stalling'. Any input to the throttle causes the clutch to slip until you then hit the other threshold for it to fully engage. Another way to possibly think about it is if you had a bike with a manual clutch and were going up a steep hill the RPMS would continue to drop to a point where you would have to pull the clutch in to prevent a stall, and then let the clutch back out partially (reangaging the clutch / slipping it) with higher RPMs to continue moving forward without stalling. At least that's the way I explain it in my mind. :P To your question, it seems to be part of the AE model. 3 things I did with recommendations on this site that seemed to help: 1) Clutch soak: This GREATLY reduced the lurching in the disengagement / reengagement action, it feels much smoother now when it happens now 2) Second gear: Slowing down for a stop I keep it in second until I come to a complete stop, and then shift into first. The disengage / reengage in second gear is much smoother than when in first. 3) Work the brake: Knowing this is going to happen, I work the brake to force that disengage / reengage at a time I want vs letting it happen at a time I don't (like in the middle of a slow turn). Hope that helps! [/QUOTE]
