Such a noob.....

:doh:
Only took me ~125 miles....to realize the quick shifter needed to be enabled to work. Guess there's something to be said for perusing the owner's manual.
Other observations: First off, saying that it's a pleasure to ride would be an understatement. Menu's have become reasonably intuitive given my aged demographic, though I still haven't figured out how to go from "Sport" to "Road"...etc. Clutch "feel" during lever movement gives me the disconcerting sense that the cable filaments are starting to break..despite the fluid reservoir staring me in the face. Had to open up the rear brake fluid reservoir to confirm there was anything in there it was so clear. Not so sure the seat will work for me during any extended road trip..really a TBD at this point. (Maybe "Road" mode would help!) I enjoy the "growl" at idle. Read with some amusement that the chain adjustment tool from a Ducati 916 will work on the H2...still have mine (and the bike, too). Tip of the hat to champ87 for his detailed guides. Lean angle display is addictive.

The journey continues....

I left the dealer without mine turned on also, should be part of the set up

press and hold the power button on the left handlebar while you are not moving and you can switch power modes

Seems to work when moving as well, as long as throttle is closed.
