Downshift

I've found that if you increase the rpm back to "normal" (3000) and down shift to 1st it is a lot smoother. It's when you let the engine idle and down shift that the jerkiness happens. The problem is a timing issue. Sometimes you just don't have time to down shift at your leisure.

Same with up shifting. When I stabilize the rpm and shift, it's like it's nonexistent. I like to impress my riders with how agile it can be, then punch it and drive it like it's not mine. hmmm, I wonder if valets do that?
