[QUOTE="Ari Rankum, post: 101986, member: 1861"] I had this exact thing happen on my '05 at 10K miles. Yamaha started with the stunting/clutchless shift/abuse thing. I started with 40 year-old many bike owner with all bikes taken well over 10K miles, including 30K mile 1985 CB700SC and 50K mile Goldwing and no issues like this, ever. Dealer helped with describing me as not exactly a teenager, clean bike, well-maintained, no scratches, etc. Yamaha decided to fix at their expense. The parts were sent back to Yamaha for engineering analysis. My issue started with a lurch similar to what you describe - I thought it was due to rear wheel spin, because it seemed to correlate with flaws in the road surface or painted surfaces. Shortly after the onset of this, the bike jumped out of second one morning under acceleration. This was brand new behavior, and I thought I must have half-assed an upshift, or something. So, clutch in, gentle but firm upshift to third, clutch out, power on, accelerating, pop! 15 miles later, I was at the Yammie dealer describing the problem and dropping of the bike for them to take a look. 4 weeks later, I got my bike back.
