Rough gearing / RPM and gear changes

Hi Guys and Girls,

I have a new Brutale 800. Just breaking it in. I’ve noticed that when shifting from 1st to 2nd it’s tougher than the other gear shifts. Lower the. 5000Rpm and it’s better. Is this normal? Does anyone else experience this?

On that note, what RPM are people changing gears at generally. Eg. 1st 5000rmp, 2nd ?rpm etc?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,

Nick

Are you using the Quickshifter? If you are, remember it's a quickshifter, not an auto-gearbox. They work better at higher rpm, withbigger throttle openings,

Gearboxes do need bedding / breaking in. After the first hundred miles it will get easier.

I know exactly what you mean.
First 1000 miles I also felt that, but now roughly 2000 miles it buttersmooth. Even from 1st to 2nd gear. Although you need to really push lever up and not softly otherwise it will hit neutral.
Just do this for every gear. My tip: The harder you kick the lever the smoother.

Inbetween 4th/5th is a false neutral aswell. Just so you know.
