I have a question regarding first and second gear shifting on new K12R. Its seems to be much louder shifting into the first two gears than I does from 3-6th... Does this smooth out a bit as bike gets broken it.

From what i can tell thus far..this bike is by far the finest piece of machinery I have ever driven..

Quite a few reports I've read is that it does indeed get better (or perhaps they've adapated), but usually after the oil change, can't remember what they went to but it apparently shifted much smoother.

Of course there's days where you feel like the gearbox is a lucky dip and others where it just works well! :wink:
