I've never had any issue with gear shifting like you've mentioned. When i mentioned that it's not the best gbox in the industry i meant it's not as smooth as say a honda, but i've never felt it to be the least bit notchy. It's definitely better than many pulsars i've ridden. I would suggest checking out your 'box and clutch mate, coz afaik it aint a standard char.... |
i never tried clutchless downshift (same reason as urs i thought it might damage the plates and the 'box) but ya i'm constently into clutchless shifts at high RPMS(7500-10000) and it's way toooo smooth that way...
due to my gearbox thing i went to the showroom and tried 2 new FI's with the same with clutch and without clutchless shifts and i still feel it's notchy...(requiring more pressure at low RPM's,making clanking noice but it does have the "FEEL" i wanted outta it, so m not complaining...
)
but this not getting to the neutral i mentioned after comin to a hault in gears was present...
but ya that 1 to 2 shift creates prob sometimes....
