Hi all,
I'm new to riding, this is my first ever bike and have only rode the shop rental during my training .
Juz got a new 2009 FLSTF, changed the pipes to V&H BSS and screaming eagle airfilter as well as the SE chip.
I've got a few questions :
1. When ever i engage a gear, whilst holding the clutch down, I feel a thud and can hear a thud sound, is this normal ?
2. When i accelerate from a low RPM, i feel the back of the bike pulling to one side ( right ) , is this normal ?
3. I'm riding in jakarta (Indonesia), a country where we rarely get up to 4th gear, due to the massive traffic, hence the riding will be a max of 200 to 300 kilometers a month, should i stick to the standard manual services of 1800KM (1000 Miles ) as the 1st services, or do it earlier ? considering the bike to be idling at stops more often than moving.
Sorry for the very basic questions, but am new here, issue 2 scared the (EDIT) out of me as i though i was about to fall.
