The first generation units had a whole bunch of issues that are now removed from the Generation 2 units. Marty, if you had one of the round units, it's not surprising you had problems. The Gen 2 units are actually exactly the same as the HM ones (both the casing and the electronics inside), but without the LCD screen and ability to access the adjustable parameters except sensitivity. The Gen 1 units were different to the HM ones inside and out, and were nowhere near as good. It's funny, because on their own (assuming it wasn't on an early R1), the Gen 1 units were great! But I then rode two R6s back-to-back, one with a Gen1 and one with a Gen2, and the difference was very noticeable!! Much quicker and smoother shifts, and a different and better 'feel' through the gear lever.
