I got a '21 1250RT
....for the life of me, I dont understand the manual on pp 184-185 on the whatever the 'threshold rpm' is for the next gear.
The way I have been UPshifting is by closing the throttle slowly and lifting the shifter slowly...but quite often the bike jumps as if done it on the wrong rpm.
I typically shift to 2nd gear at 3k rpm, shift to 3rd at between 3000 and 3500 (when the rpm is between these two markers)...4th, 5th and 6th seem to go a lot easier.
I must tell ya, I miss the DCT on my last Wing. That tranny was like butter.
Do you know how to shift this bike? smoothly? not using the clutch?
