Some help with Electra 350 twin spark
I own one Electra 350 twin spark for last one and half year. It's 'the' bike I rode till date considering comfort and feel. I had many road trips on this machine including one that of Ladakh. But I have two problems with this bike which I am unable to resolve even after consulting many mechanics.
1st) It's very hard on this bike to go beyond 85km/hr. till 80 I don't feel anything but after that I can feel vibrations and sense of instability in bike. It feels like it is not going to go above this speed. I have heard from many other Electra owner that it can go till 100 very comfortably. so What can be the problem with my bike?
2nd) Gear changing is not that smooth. If I want to come from 4th gear to 2nd gear without stopping in 3rd, I can't do that quickly. I have to wait for some seconds in 3rd. Sometimes rpms don't decrease at the speed I close the throttle. So when I decrease accelerator and try to come down to lower gear, it becomes hard and I hear cranking sound and different feel(Sound and feel when you try to switch to lower gear at high rpms).
I do feel a little difference in its operation(switching becomes little smooth), when I get it just serviced. But this effect last for only 3-4 days and old problem returns. What can be this issue.
And in general feel of my bike is little hard in every aspect. I am comparing it with the feel of my friend's classic 350 twins spark which he just bought. It had got very smooth feel.
Can someone help?
