|  2002 Volusia 800 Noisy Gear Box?? Hello Everyone, Have A Question. I Purchased A 2002 Volusia 800 Last Summer. It Seems That When Shifting From First To Second Gear, Its A Bit Stiff And Noisy, Every Other Gear Shifts Fine. It Seems To Get Smoother As The Bike Gets Hotter Though. Is This Normal?????

|  This was often the case for new bikes but would imrpove over time. Is the mileage real low ?, if it wasn't ridden a lot maybe it just didn't have to to break in. Different oils seem to help, the synthetics ( motorcycle grade ) often magically made the noise go away. Although if there is several thousand miles on it I would dig deeper.
