I picked up my M50 on June 5th 08 and now have over 2400 miles on it. I noticed that when I ride it for a while the clutch acts funny. It's a lot harder to shift gears once the bike is hot. I have to bang it into gear. When it's cold it slips into gear just like a hot knife through a stick of butter. Is this normal? Also, it's popped out of gear a few times in second down to neutral and when shifting from first to second it goes into neutral first. All this happens when the bike has been running for a while but acts normall for the first 30 minutes or so. Is this something I should tell the dealer about? I tried searching the threads and couldn't find anything about what I'm experiencing.
