a bit late for me too, but....
start, get dressed ATGATT, then ride gently for 1st K... usually 2 bars in winter, always 3 in summer before I start. I do notice a lot more "clunking" in the tranny when changing from 1st-2nd, and 2nd-3rd for the first few K's, even past 3 bars. Time for a new shot of Texas Tea me thinks.
One other issue for me though.....
1. "full throttle" - what the? I'm too scared for that at any time!
