No actual false nuetral but it either misses the gear and jumps back into 5th or clunks a little then back to 5th.
Noticed the gear indicator has nfi whats going on as the screen blanks out while its happening then it decides it found a gear :o
Since its happened a couple times just been playing with the change from 5th to 6th to see if i can bring it on intentionally with correct changes (no lazy foot) and it seems it only happens when I may of been a little pussy footed :o
Hoping it does go away though, also when you say correct oil for break in, what oil would that be? My dealer told me he put "rock" oil in for the first 1000 (forget the name, the non-synthetic shit) , anyhow is this really recomended? will it matter being only the first 1000? I know the oil can be ok if changed more often or should they of used a synth?
The engine oil for a busa is Mineral oil or Semi Synthetic oil that meets the specs as shown in your Owners manual - it is under the pillion seat.
It is not just for running in but for ever. You can play with synthetic oils if you wish but there is no benefit in it for road riding.
Other people don't agree with me on this so it is up to you to decide.
Most Suzuki dealers will use Motul 3100 or 3400.
I have used the Motul 3100 exclusively in my K8 for 18,000 ks and it runs as smooth as silk with no gearbox or clutch problems.
The oil is in the bike when it is delivered from the factory to the dealer anyway, so I ask, why change it?
