[QUOTE="mispahr, post: 1413143, member: 91920"] Hello all, I have 2014 FJR with 40,000 miles that has a major transmission issue. Getting a rattle of the transmission when shifting from into gears 3-5. Everyone I have spoken to, including the Yamaha mechanics say this is not like this bike to have this issue, but, it is what it is. We took the bike to the dealer and they tore all the covers off and determined the issue is deep within the transmission and the engine will need to be taken apart to find the cause. Labor is $2400 and the parts can be anywhere from $800 to $1600 bucks. Even without replacing any transmission components, it is easily $600 parts when you consider all of the gaskets, oil and tuning when they out the whole thing back together. So, I’m looking at anywhere from $3600 to $4000 to fix. This all without knowing the true extent of the damage until the motor is out. I have found several low mileage used engines on eBay from $1200 to $1900. The dealer said they would charge $700 for the swap, plus parts. So, looking at $1000 in labor. With all said and done, it would be roughly $3000 for the engine swap. My question for community is, do I need to purchase a 2014 engine? Or will other model years work as well. Any recommendations or thoughts from you all? I love this bike. Its worth 10K in working order, so I need to get it fixed. Just looking for some direction from fellow FJR owners. Thanks for your time, Michael. [/QUOTE]
