Hi, I just brought home my brand new 2011 C5 yesterday. While driving around and breaking it in, I noticed that sometimes when I shift up from 3rd gear I end up in a neutral zone instead of 4th gear (I can't get any power to the wheel as if I'm in neutral, which needless to say confused me).
When this happens, re-clutching and engaging does nothing to remedy the situation. The throttle just revs the engine with no change in speed as it would in neutral. The only way to get power to the wheel is to either shift up into 5th or down into 3rd.
This only happens in when shifting up from 3rd to 4th (at least so far, only have 70 miles on it). It may occur when I don't move the shift lever up completely, I started paying more attention now.
Has anyone had any issues with this, or do you have any idea what could be going on?
Other than this I love the bike, but I have a feeling this isn't something that fixes itself during break-in.
