[QUOTE="dhalen32, post: 156768, member: 2782"] Radman, et al: I was finally able to ride this morning and I made a conscious effort to slip the clutch a lot in an attempt to wear down any high spots on the friction plates. The result was greatly reduced effort at the shift lever when downshifting! :) I'll ride this way a few more days and then return to my normal habits with the clutch and see how it goes. Perhaps I was being a bit too gentle with my new machine. :o Thanks to all of you for your suggestions. Dave [/QUOTE]
