I hope your life is normalizing for you a little. I know how it is to lose interest in your bike. Life and life’s problems can get in the way. I’m much happier when I’m all in on my Hawk and an old...

Yeah. That’s what I’ve had to do to go down to 2nd or 1st coming to a stop and that works fine. But shouldn’t it shift smoothly into all gears at a stop?

Thanks for your comment.

Problem with Zanella digital cluster install

Got the cluster installed fine. But I see a gap between the new speed sensor and the wheel hub. Great place for water to get in. Any suggestions on how to fix?
