[QUOTE="sthomag, post: 1408974, member: 91132"] I just got a low-mileage 2007 AE, with the auto clutch. It's in fabulous, almost new condition: only 10,000 miles, and the paint and rubber are like brand-new. I paid $6,000 for it out the door, including tax and tags, at a BMW dealership in Maryland. I've got a few questions about it. First, the owner's manual says to feather the throttle when shifting up, but when I do that I can't get a smooth shift; it jerks, etc. If I just hit the shifter while accelerating, it's as smooth as silk. What are people's thoughts about this? Also, the owner's manual demands that you shift down at specific rpms, but the bike seems not to care as long as you're downshifting at reasonable speeds. However, I don't want to continue what I'm doing and find out I'm wearing out the clutch or damaging the transmission dogs. Second, there's a little hesitance and unevenness at low rpm, apparently from a lean condition. Is that normal, and if so, is there an easy fix? [/QUOTE]
