The handlebar mounted electronic manual shifters work pretty well until the bike gets hot from running for a while and then if you are stopped and try to downshift it will get stuck between gears and you have to shut the bike down and wait for it to cool before it will go back into any gear.
Love the honda, hate the auto, foot shifter would be the option for me.
Thanks, the type of info and real world experience that I’m trying to get more of.

Reading about the grizzly 16-18 kinda scares me out of looking at them with oil burning. Especially not knowing history with previous owners
