Once it's broken in I'm swapping the fluid to Motul 300 and we'll see how it changes.

Also worth noting that 2-3 feels really sloppy now. Definitely not my favorite gear change. Previous transmission was easier to feel the gate.
swap the fluid now. The stock fluid is absolutely garbage, no reason to wait. Glad you were able to get everything fixed under warranty.

I was shocked at how notchy the transmission was too when I bought my 2015 used, but after changing the fluid because i bought a lightweight flywheel and upgraded the fork, bearing, and clutch and it really feels much better.

The really made the car to be upgraded through the aftermarket, but they really cheaped out on some stuff, including the transmission.
