MY 2012 - Observations / Dislikes

After 2 years with the 4 XS, I have had the MY12 HSE for two weeks - generally love it but:

What a joke those paddles are - forever cattching my fingers when turning etc - really cant see this is progress.

More worrying - I towed our tri axle horse trailer loaded (2 horses) yesterday and was very disapointed - as suspected forever changing gears and not using the massive tourque, any one similar expieriences? No where near as good as the 4 with the 6 speed box me thinks.(I know it needs to learn but has 600 miles on clock)

I have noticed it bogging down in low speed bends when I drop my foot on it (solo) it seems to take a second to sort the right gear - the old one was much sharper. - feels like two many gears not been selected well?

My dealers Hunters will look at it next week - but is this progress I dont know.

Great deal on the HSE - 10% - (5% NFU + 5% negotiated) - very pleased. Laughing

Glad to be back!

Sounds like LR may have 'over egged the pudding'!

Hopefully the gearbox will calm down after a few more miles.
