Default New owner....couple of questions.

I took an 05' MCS on trade the other day. Black/white top, auto climate control, heated seats, 6sp, sport pkg,..38k miles. Nice!...I drove this thing never driving a MC before, and I was impressed!...So impressed, I bought it for myself..(13k...)......I have noticed like a few others here on the forum that I get the cold start stumble/ eng surge at 2800-3000rpm. Whats the fix for that?.....also, reading through the owners manuel, It gave to instructions on how to adjust/switch on or off the auto lock mode, or any other options that can be engaged/disengaged. And NO instructions about the phone application/bluetooth. Can this only be done at the dealer? The guy that traded this one in is a retired Air Force member....and I know he took great care of it. Also I have read about 2500 dollar clutches every 30k?

Welcome ...
Programming locks ect are unfortunately a dealer computer interface ... Most charge you 1 hour labor to set up

I found an independant shop that will do a clutch for $800 with parts... Do SHOP around ...
I've got 47k on my stock clutch with no signs of going out , I guess it depends on driver/type of driving ...

No idea on Bluetooth
