I PURCHASED THIS MOTORCYCLE , ALMOST IMMEDATLY IT BEGAN HAVING SHIFTING PROBLEMS. I WAS TOLD BY AJFOYT (FARLEY SVC. MGR.) TO KEEP RIDING THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. I T WORSENED TO THE POINT WHERE THIE TRANSMISSION WOULD FLOAT IN/OUT SECOND GEAR UNDER ALL CONDITIONS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE PURCHASING DEALER WHO LET IT SIT IN THER SHOP TWO WEEKS BEFORE TELLING ME IT WOULD BE LONGER BEFORE THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO WORK ON IT. I THE TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALER WHO SAID THEY WOULD GET RIGHT ON IT.THEY FOUND WHAT THEY THOUGHT WAS THE PROBLEM AND FIXED IT(THIS TOOK ALMOST THREE MONTHS).
