@VladTepes , got an idea for ya. I know I can make a new poll; but comin´from admin is more interesting. Or anybody can continue from here on.
What gear do you take off in ? 1st, 2nd, other ?
Me, most of the time 1st, A LOT of the other times 2nd or 3rd, unintentionally. Then, made an experiment, tried all the other gears and she said OK to all. Even on flat ground and smoothly letting go off clutch in 6th didn´t even stutter. Talk about torque ! Think I´ll transform her into a fixie.

Usually 1st - just cuz its there and I paid for it! :grin:
I need to go somewhere I've not been but won't know until I get there!

1st, much better acceleration than using 2nd or 3rd, using 6th?  I'd be home before you got across the intersection.  Saves wear on the clutch plates using the right gear too.

@Jeykey  if you want to start a poll you should so so yourself, no as easy to come back afterwards and do it. :onya:

As far as I'm concerned - 1st.  I don't see any reason not to, and it gives me more options if things go pear shaped in traffic around me - instant acceleration with lower chance of stalling.

Keep the rubber side down.          Mick

That was me too.

Oh and 2nd when I'd not changed down to first when parking as I always left it in gear

What gear do I take off in?
Usually leathers, sometimes a negligée, depends where the mood takes me.
May the sun be warm & shining and your roads be smooth & winding.
