"I have noticed that my 1994 750 shifts smooth for the first couple miles
and then seems to shift hard into gear and is a lot more noisy. What would
cause this?"




As the engine warms up the oil gets thinner.  Maybe the cold, thick oil
makes the shift feel smoother.  I can't say I've ever noticed this
phenomenon, just a guess.  What weight oil are you using?
