is it just me?

i got my fiddy a few days ago and when i shift on it, the wheel about comes off the ground every time and the shift lever is really stiff and i have to jerk it up really hard. do i just need to get used to it or can i adjust it in any way?

are you backing off the throttle when you shift? that might be your problem

yep thats normal
hard shifting and when you change gears and dont let off the gas it will bring the front wheel up everytime even the lil stockers will do that no big bore required

if your shift lever is bent, it will seem like its hard to shift also.

it just took some getting used to, i was shifting with the revs really high and i think that was why it was doing it.
