[QUOTE="daddysbike, post: 228028, member: 1691"] My tough downshifting, worse when engine is cold problem ('07) continues also. It seems to have gotten worse when I changed to Shell Rotella at 100 miles then a little better when I went back to Yama lube. Crazy I know and I hate to even say it but true. Maybe its just "braking in"?? I'm now at 3000 miles and get a nice loud clunck and lurch forward when going from neutral to 1st, also you can't push the bike when in gear and clutch pulled in. Don't tell me either or both are normal I've had about 8 new bikes in the last 5 yrs alone and none of them did this. The big problem is downshifting while riding, hard/tough when cold and gets better as engine warms. I took the bike to dealer last week and told them about the problem and am waiting for their reply/solution. I love the FJR but am dissappointed that a bike in production for this long has this issue, also the throttle response and buzzy bars suck but is resovled by throwing more $$ at the bike so not too big a deal. Still cheaper/better(lighter, style)/more fun than my ST1300 and RT(never owned a RT just rode a bunch). I'll post a follow up when I get the bike back. Steve [/QUOTE]
