    It depends on how warm the bike is and if its still on its 'warm up revs' Also make sure your chain isn't too tight as this can cause issues with the gearbox apparently - someone with more tech knowledge will be along soon to explain properly! Just enjoy the blade mate :)

    +1 on my rr7. In fact I think all my bikes have been same until they're up to temperature.
