You are going to have to endure the hard shifts, roll off all the way, and pull that clutch all the way in, you're going to find it's a little easier but not much...and you may have troubles with neutral.

My advice: take an entire day of riding around town varying rpm's going as fast as you can without breaking the rpm limits and once you're around 600 get your services done and you'll find it's a little easier to shift.

Then...continue with your town cruising/back road driving until you're out of the break in period and you'll find the shifts are smooth as butter.
