Also just got back on the road after a few months with the battery out. I have also noticed the clutch is a bit jumpy when driving from a standstill to a low speed in first (eg in a car park or whatever).

I thought a good drive would sort it out (thought perhaps some surface rust develops on moving clutch parts ???), but still seems a little nqr.

My clutch is only 12months / 1500 miles old.

Admittedly I didn't think of trying the simple smg reset (pull oth paddles back while coasting in N). Might give that a go this arvo.

Could the SMG really forget its settings by disconecting the battey for an extended period and need a full reset? Perhaps someone with a bit more post-winter-battery-out / disconnected experience please post their thoughts. I know most ppl use trickle chargers, so wouldnt get this effect.
