[QUOTE="Uncle Hud, post: 1402218, member: 29492"] ([I]I know the 2015 is a very different transmission from the 2016. But you asked about similar experiences, and this is similar.[/I]) My 2015 did that a LOT -- shifting up into neutral instead of second gear. The dealer's shop guys always muttered something about improper shifting technique or wussy foot movements or some other shit. After the third or fourth ask, I got this advice: "Wind it up pretty high in first gear -- at least 5,000 rpm -- before shifting, and make sure you shift authoritatively." That was two years and 30,000 miles ago. I modified my shifting technique and the bike has shifted easily from 1st to 2nd since then. Have no problems downshifting, even when pulling the clutch and walking the gears down from fifth to neutral on the same clutch pull. At least no instances that I remember. [/QUOTE]
