Welcome from Seattle! I too have a '16 R3R and it definitely ruined other bikes for me. Enjoy that monster.

Welcome aboard from Western NC. I hope you've found the solution to your shifting issue. A fix with a simple clutch adjustment would be nice.

"...R3R and it definitely ruined other bikes for me." I fully agree with that statement!

CAUTION! That flying out of second gear could be a BIG problem and BIG $$$ I'd make sure the dealer gets it sorted out, or else run away.

WELCOME to ya, from WA State!
Took me some time to regress from sport bikes, but the comfort trade-off to my beat up body was well worth the performance loss.

With your bike being so new I don't think yours is the big bucks repair.
Early model problems.
Mine would disengage at around 70mph in 2nd then re_engage on the dog cogs and I would carry on but last time it happened I almost filled my pants the sound it made and whole bike jumped I rode home and ordered the update kit and into the stealership for it to be fixed been running great for 15 months.

Welcome from Spring Lake Michigan ! If that bike came out of second gear even once under full power it could have rounded the engagement dogs. If you can, I would return it for a refund. Even if they can adjust the clutch and make it shift better, second gear may be a ticking a time bomb. I'm not saying don't buy a Rocket, just don't buy that one. I've had mine for 10 years and love it.
