Great explanation. Don't mean to hijack but I have a gear question: when changing from 1st to second I can see the neutral light coming on for a split of a second. Does this has to do with the non-sync transmission or is it my sloppy changes? Thanks for any feedback.

1-n-2-3-4-5-6 or Five up, one down. You pass through N on your way to 2 from 1 and vice versa. You may still be a dirty, filthy, sloppy, naughty gear changer, but the green blink in normal.

My old F4i had this same light blink, and I figured it was from the 1-n-2 so I never worried about it, but it also used to "pop" into neutral when I wanted 2nd, and if I was romping on it a little it was embarrasing because I would let the clutch out and throttle it and it would just rev in neutral, and I probably scared the crap out of some "golf balls" when I was moving down the road and I'd hit the rev limiter. My 600 RR has yet to do this...so maybe I'm getting better at shifting...I don't know...or maybe I wasn't lifting my foot enough to engage it? Over time I just learned to over-exaggerate when going from 1st to 2nd, but I don't ride that bike anymore so I don't have to worry. I told the kid that bought the bike off me and he said it was anormal thing, and after reading Jared's awesome gear changing post, now I know why.

FYI - "Golf Balls" is a term coined by my old man, for the lil' old ladies that drive with two hands on the wheel and look thru the steering wheel over the hood, and all you can see is the perfectly round poof of white hair driving the car.
