Was very impressed with the way it was shifting. Lately, however, it seems the clutch engages for much to long. Recently on a hill I had to shift down. Clutch took so long that I almost came to a standstill. It's all good. I'm confident that an adjustment will take care of it.

I had the exact same issue, bike almost came to a standstill when shifting from 2-1 on a steep hill. Gotta adjust my clutch also, about 900 miles on it.

At least its made pretty easy to adjust. Must not have been the same type of engineer that designs oil filters on new cars.
