I only have a few hundred miles on mine so far but I've noticed the stutter from 1st to 2nd as well and thought it was me lol and some of it might be. I've been playing with different ways to get it right but have noticed that yes if you slip it ever so slightly it does transition much more smoothly. Not sure I want to do that always but....I did install the BMS clutch stop yesterday and have noticed it was a little better but I need more time now with the clutch stop installed to get used to it all.
