I was, as you, embarrased to "cruise" but now it is sweet sweet sweet. Trans is a loud one to shift. I find that when I shift if I only pull in the clutch enough to relax it, the shift noise of more of a click than a clunk. The worst is the 1-2 shift. But, the bike will start out in 4th gear lol as I found out yesterday.........ooops and I didnt even have to fan the clutch that much.
Is this an adjustment I can make? the the 3-5mm..what is that relative to? Im anxious to resolve this.
