Good morning, I went out for my first ride yesterday with my new 2011 RT SE5 and I noticed something quiet different than my old 2010 RT SE5. When I downshift, it seems like when the engine revs up before the downshift, it feels like the clutch is still engaged for a fraction of a second and the bike actually slightly accelerate forward during the engine rev up just before downshifting properly. As soon as I noticed this, I drove to my dealer and they quickly got the bike in and they re-synchronized the engine/transmission/idle..etc...Love my dealer !
Now out of the dealer, I have to admit that the downshifting is better but I still feel the bike is slightly accelerating forward during the engine rev up before downshifting gears.
Note: ALSO, while driving back home, only once, I tried twice in a row to downshift from 3rd to 2nd and the bike did not shift and I saw the indication "E" in my display where the gear number is displayed..so I saw gear 3 than E than 3 again..I accelerated then shifted in 4 than back to 3 and 2 with no problem !
Do I have a transmission issue or I just have to drive it lots more before getting concerns? Thanks
