United-Kingdom Is your 2nd Gear change a bit awkward ?

Hi All,

I have had my MCs for about 4/5 weeks now and have done about 1000 miles. The car drives and handles superb.

But I keep thinking to myself that I might have a slight problem with changing gears into 2nd gear.

The gear change from 1st to 2nd feels really notchy and does not feel smooth as I think it should and sometimes I can feel the car jerk when changing up to 2nd gear.
The only smooth gear change I can get is at really slow speeds below 6mph.


Have any other mini owners experienced this?
Do you think I should take to the stealership for a quick diagnosis ?
Anything else I can try ?


I thought maybe "running" the car for a thousand miles might loosen up a few things, but Im sure this'nt the case.

Any help would be appreciated

thanks in advance
