Hi,

Since I'm such a n00b there's probably nothing wrong with my bike.  (2017 GSA LC)

When changing gears it feels pretty mechanical/clanky.  (again, probably normal)

But then the dealer loaned me a 700GS for the day (totally different bike I know, guess the gearbox also) and good lawd the gears change so smooth.

So I've been wondering if my gear shifter is normal or is it supposed to be smooth like on the 700?  (if it's normal as is, no worries.  just want to make sure all on my bike is as it should be and not mess up something due to my ignorance.

Cheers,
K

ps:  please no "get a *whatever*".  This is my bike, I love it.
