Hi All,
I recently purchased a 2017EX and on several occasions have noticed the indicator flash that tells me I am not in gear. This usually happens when going back down into first and then mostly if I wait to long to shift when coming to a stop. It also happens when downshifing to other gears. It is embarrassing to be stopped at a light that turns green while trying to get it into first. Sometimes it looks like it is in, just does not feel right then the gear indicator blinks with that like. I'm thinking I am doing something wrong and just don't have a good feel for the bike. (I have only ridden a couple hundred miles, if that.) If I shift more aggressivley i.e. mash down on the shifter a bit it does not happen but I feel like I am abusing the machine when doing so since the rpms jump up a bit more when letting the clutch back out. Has anyone else experienced this or have input? It would be much appreciated.
Regards
