Mine would do that going from low to high or reverse to neutral. The remedy was to over shift - ie low to neutral to high or out of reverse to high then nuetral. After a few hundred miles (300ish) it quit doing it. Being new and tight was what my dealer told me when I inquired.

Your idle may be set too high. That was the problem on mine. Dealer fixed it.

Often I have problems shifting into reverse or low range on my AC 500 auto. It makes a clicking sound as it's not fully engaged. It only has 150 miles on it, so I'm thinking it still may be a little "stiff". It often happens when the bike is fully stopped which I don't understand. Is this a common problem? Is there something I can adjust to improve it? It's not getting any worse, but I'm afraid it may lead to bigger issues down the road.

I also have to adjust my idle per weather (hot, cold) to a lower idle or it "grinds".

Try adjusting your shift linkage?

My 03 400i would do the same thing when i tried to go from low to high, i'd have to shift from low to nuetral then back to high. so it would all of a sudden slam into gear, but it didn't bother me enough to matter.
