Just an update for me on this is that I have found out why I was not getting on well and it was because I was not giving enough pre "off throttle" pressure on the gear shift, I found that I had to give quite a lot of pressure first and keep it there and as soon as I off the throttle it slips in to the next gear. Keep having to check the speedo as you don't realise the speed so much, its no faster but the lack of any roll on and off motion kind of makes me loose where I am if that makes sense, I guess that I have been subconsciously counting the gears, any way enjoyed it so much I just kept on going for 125 miles
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.
