Just picked her up last week! Fantastic bike but I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice
I am new to the dry clutch! I understand they are a lot like a clutch in a car. I've been driving manuals for the last 7 years but the dry clutch on a motorcycle makes me feel like I am relearning everything on how I am supposed to treat a bike clutch. When I roll up to a stop light, should I be shifting into neutral like with a car? For low speed maneuvers, should I ignore the clutch and focus on rear brakes? Any advice would help!
Second gear has been odd. My thought is that neutral on this bike feels really big so when I do the motion that I'm used to on my old bike I simply "miss" the gear. I found if I "commit" to second and really just fully send it (not slamming just making sure I do solid quick motion) it tends to seat well on second. Still getting used to the bike so I can be that
Please let me know anything about the bike! The last owner was a great guy and told me a ton but I'd always like to hear from other people :D
