Default Does it get worse when the bike is warmed up?

if so, just keep riding it. By 1,000 - 2,000 miles it will be gone. I also recommend changing out your transmission/primary fluids. I switched to Amsoil and it helped.

Here is my thread on the issue.

Here is a guy on youtube who had the same problem.

I know that guy's problem - he's riding on the wrong side of the road!

But seriously, if my bike were doing that, I'd get it to where it's doing that, and get the dealer to ride it right then.

My earlier suggestion to lower the shift lever might still help.

It sucks if anybody is having this issue.
