    Hi All

    I have found that the gear change into 1st and from 1st to 2nd and from 2nd to 1st is very "clunky".

    Is there any way to change it/Fix it? (except for getting a new bike lol)

    Thank you

    On a previous motorcycle I owned, shifts would feel clunky when the oil was dirty. It shifted much smoother with clean oil. You can also change brand/viscosity of oil.

    It's brand new synthetic oil... And only first and second gear?
    I'll drain it and maybe use a different brand.

    Is it worse since the oil change? Have you used that brand/viscosity previously?

    Yes, I used the exact same oil the second time.

    Oh and BTW I love my new 2011 CBR 600RR (my second bike)
