[QUOTE="two_wheeled, post: 1425972, member: 92416"] What RPM is the idle set to? The AE is extremely sensitive to idle RPMs. Find out what yours is set to before you change anything else. Very likely, your idle RPMs are too high and you need to turn them down just a bit. The bike is smart enough that it knows you'll jump into the Prius in front of you if it shifts into gear at 1700 RPM, so it refuses to shift from neutral into first. Also, if the idle RPMs are set too high, the bike will refuse to disengage the clutch when coming to a stop until you pull hard on the brake and slow the engine down. It took me a long time to learn this. Turn down your idle. It's easily adjusted with a philips head screwdriver on the right side of the bike. [/QUOTE]
