I have noticed from time to time an issue with downshifting. I don't always downshift one gear at a time. Sometimes I coast to a red light with the clutch in And downshift through all the gears to first. But sometimes with the clutch in, The gear indicator on the instrument panel will go from indicating whatever gear I was in to just showing a dash line (-) and I can't get down to a lower gear without letting the clutch out a little and then starting over with the downshift.
Is anyone else noticing a similar problem?

Lets re-read and remember the original post in this thread. This is what we were addressing.

In fact, thinking back over the years, I guess I have done that on all my bikes-without any consequences. But as I think I said in a later post, this is a new bike with its own characteristics and I will make adjustments to the technique. REMINDS ME OF THE WOMEN IN MY LIFE...but that's probably for a different thread, huh?
