Thanks! Had new bike less than two weeks and already 2 people tried to pull into me. Both were switching lanes and either didnt look or did not see me. Having a blast though! 175 more miles until I hit the 500 mile break-in and then I can start giving it some gas. I think clutch needs adjustment though. Gears 3 thru 5 seems as though I dont even need to squeeze clutch to shift. That does not seem right to me. Low end power starting off seems off too. Heritage I test rode pulled away from stop easier than mine. I need to give it a bit of throttle to get same feeling. Seems like clutch is not fully engaging or could it be me?
