Dave... It has a whine but you can't really hear it on idle?


Drew I was worried about that also... But it feels even better then it did before, when the clutch engauges it's super smooth. Mine felt a little jumpy before and we would laugh about it when someone else tries to ride it... lol If you kill it 3 times get the hell off... LMAO

too funny. Did you tell them first gear was back and the rest forward? When I first put my foot clutch on I assumed that 1st was forward and the rest were back and kept stalling until I realized that first was back. then I had no problem taking off. Only one friend has asked to ride it and it has not happened yet.

Nah mines a jockey so it's the same... I know yours is reversed that would even catch me a few times... lol I have a vid of the first person trying to get going, but I promised that I wouldn't post it online... The main thing is that they know killer the motor is okay, Just don't drop it trying to keep your foot on the clutch... lol

Ah, yes! The sweet negative side of going new. I love my bike, but there are so many things I want to do to it, and not enough funds to go around. I will consider myself very lucky if I can even get my bars on this winter. Ugh! Oh, well, I'm looking to do some subtle changes to it within the next month. Basically, grips, kickstand, relocate plate, and lower the rear. The rest will have to wait...

I was very curious over the same issue, and was going to ask myself! I'm still looking forward to getting my Jockey Shift. I am not sure when it will happen, but I'm currently looking to next spring. Here's hoping!
