 |  Feels different Okay, so today i take the bike to the dealer to have the first service done on it. in and out in a flash. anyway, riding back home, the bike just feels very loose. before the service, as soon as i started to let out on the clutch it wanted to take off. now, the clutch is damn near fully released before it starts rolling. the gears were real stiff, now they just seem to slide from gear to gear. seems to accelerate a lot better as well. just kinda curious as to how your bikes felt before and just after the initial service. did you notice big differences immediately and such?

| Well sounds like the clutch wasn't adjusted after assembly and before you took her home. And the gears mesh better and better as you break in the bike and use fresh oil. On the SV they say the the clutch and gears work thier best after 5k miles or so. Mine pulled stronger after the 11k service adjustments.
