Hello All,
Picked up my new SF last Thursday and took it out this weekend in the twisties to break her in. Was having a great time and was starting to get comfortable and did some high speed straights in 4th gear and while coming up to corner would let motor decel compression braking and right about the 4k rpm area she would pop out of gear leaving me to tackle corner with out power but motor was still running. As soon as I could lean her back upright I selected gear and off she would go. Now if I keep revs constant and not let decel she will do fine. I lost track of how many times she popped out and did it in all gears. She does not do this while I am riding around town. Love everything about this bike but I don't trust her right now. Have read post about false neutrals but I am not experiencing those. My dealer took her out and could not recreate my scenario. So frustrated out I went again and charged up straight let off throttle for corner and just about tip in point 4k she pops out leaving me again in a corner with no power. Good job I knew the road. I will go back to dealer this week as I am almost at 600 mile mark for first service. Any input or experiences much appreciated.
