Hi all, I bought a five month old s1000rr second hand in a private sale. I must admit it was a little bit rash and I wasn't too attentive to some of the details but sometimes that works out ok for you. I have never driven another s1000rr and there are a couple of things I would appreciate advice on. For context I have had bikes for a long number of years and the last two have been zx10rs that I bought from new (2005 / 2009 models). the things I notice quite odd are as follows a) the gearbox is incredibly difficult to find neutral when at a stop b) the gearbox is really quite clunky while going up and down the box c) the clutch occasionally has a very distinctive 'tight spot' just when first pulling in and can be quite jerky (sorry that's the best way I can describe it) d) the brakes efficiency seems to vary greatly - sometimes great, sometimes iffy in their power. any thoughts on any of these points from someone with a lot of ownership experience of these bikes would be greatly appreciated.
