hmmn...might be my drag handle bars causing the lock to not engage because they hit the tank. they might not be turning 'all the way' compared to the high rise handlebars.
i'll check it out.

true,yep, that just could be, i stillhave stock high risers, hmmOriginally posted by AOD
i just got back from a ride and i ran her a little more RPM than usual and she does shift a bit smoother and jump a bit more, i went up to around 5k or 5.2K on certain shifts, i like her alot! i feel little jolts on my forehead after this ride just now. heh, is that a good thing ?
i took her upto 55mph this time, fastest ive taken her thus far. i dont want to go over speed limit, not cuz its the law though..
seems like this time when i locker the steering the key came right out didnt turn any more after locking steering, hmm.. key is point about 8 and 2 o clock positions and steering is locked,.
interesting,Comment

i told you it'd shift smoother and you'd have a grin on your face.
my 78 GS550 shifts like butter at 8000 RPM..its sexy smooth. i imagine my 79 is the same, but around here on the city'ish roads i dont hit 8000 RPM's much.
i get some country roads again in a few weeks. woohoo.
once you're more comfortable on the bike you will shift at higher RPM's. its quite a rush if you are ready for it...or not. banging shifts while you're hanging on is awesome. it just comes with riding time and trusting your bike.
