The magic word u used is "sitting"....the 454 will only shift up into 2nd and above, if the bike is moving. It is designed that way. The only "weak" point in the tranny is the shifting fork - if you "bang-shift" it much, you can bend the fork, causing the tranny to be hard to shift, or not at all, requireing the tranny to be opened up & repaired.
