BIKE CURRENTLY HAS 1100 MILES. SINCE DAY 1 SHIFTING FROM FIRST GEAR TO SECOND GEAR IS HARD AND THE TRANSMISSION MAKES A HARD AND LOUD NOISE WHEN ENGAGING. DEALER SAID THAT THIS SYMPTOM WILL WEAR OFF IN TIME WITH MORE MILES. BASED ON WHAT OTHER OWNERS DESCRIBE ABOUT THE SECOND GEAR DISENGAGING.THE SYMPTOM THAT I AM EXPERIENCING NOW IS THE BEGINNING OF THE SECOND STAGE OF PROBLEMS THAT THEY ARE HAVING WITH SECOND GEAR FAILING. I DO NOT WISH TO WAIT UNTIL THE SECOND GEAR FAILS TO MAKE A COMPLAINT, BECAUSE ON THAT DAY I MIGHT GET KILLED BY A CAR OR TRUCK BEHIND ME. PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU *TR
