Just bought a T7 3 weeks ago and shifting gears has been a nightmare. Most times, specially when the bike is cold, the second and third gear refuse to engage. Then, after some pounding and riding it gets better, but all of the sudden when slowing down or going again, it happens again.
At the dealership, they say it's normal for a new bike to do that and that T7 are renowned for having a difficult gearbox. Does this sound familiar to anyone? I'm about to trigger the warranty and return the bike to be repaired, but just want some views on this before anything.
