auto shift a bit clunky after warm

[grantmac]

Was in the Eifel a couple of weeks ago and the ASA works like a dream...( before the usual bollox saying its shite begins....) but I do find that after a long days riding the shift does get a bit clunky. Not really an issue but its annoying.....Anyone else noticed this?
Bike goes for its first service in 3 weeks after my 8 day trip to France and just before my 2 weesk to Spain. Should get a software update as well which might help....

If anything, mine has become smoother.
I use it in auto mode most of the time and rarely in ‘manual’.
Another chap who I regularly chat with has the ASA RT and finds it similarly smooth. He’s clicked about 15,000M so far.

I don't have a 1300 but follow several FB pages and I haven't seen anyone complaining. The latest thing people complain is spokes on the GS/A going at an alarming rate. No off roading.

Good afternoon everyone, I just had this problem with my motorcycle while traveling; the spokes on the rear wheel broke, 11 of them. How many of you have experienced this, and what did BMW do in your...

Loose spokes have been a problem for years with these wheels, going back even to the 1200s iirc.
Definitely worth checking regularly.

I had the same problem, long trip, about 500 kilometres and I was unable to manually shift gear.

Yeah, definitely the likely cause of the stiff shift mechanism.

I was riding someone else's bike and I discovered the way the BMW quick-shifter functions is not in anyway shape or form designed to cope / compliment changes by rider than knows what he's doing...

however if you try to smash it around the box about like a buffoon trying to damage it - AKA like someone that has ZERO idea how to ride, ZERO idea how a clutch and gearbox operate, and with Zero empathy re trying to look after the gearbox - the software is uncannily good at unraveling what should be a catastrophic load of abuse - AKA only ever stab at the gear lever at the wrong revs, wrong road speeds and wrong times it does smooth changes !

why would they do it like that ? anyway the gist is maybe you are either not working with the bike to get nice changes - or (and if above computes and was rolled over to ASA software engineering) - maybe you need to learn to ride worse so the software can cope....

I had my bike in for a service today and I was told there is a bolt that needs to be replaced. Basically my ASA bike is no longer rideable in manual mode. Now in auto its quite abrupt when changing.
