[QUOTE="mcatrophy, post: 1005193, member: 3187"] Thank you for your contribution, and yes I'm well aware of your opinion. My experience is that my '06 behaved very well for several thousand miles before I sold it, also many other members of this forum have had lasting success with this procedure (with a few exceptions). If there is a design fault, we would first have to get Yamaha to recognise this (not an easy thing to do as we are all aware). Then, to get a free replacement with any improved design, prove this was a safety issue, and do that separately in each market, as such recalls don't necessarily read across. In the mean time, anyone suffering a clutch issue today can, with a couple of hours work and minimum of expenditure (in my last case just a small quantity of oil), perform this procedure and get an immediate benefit. How long this lasts I can't say, but if I had to repeat this occasionally, it is no worse than changing the spark plugs. Actually, easier. It's up to the owner to either do it now, or wait some indeterminate time so that, maybe, Yamaha would issue a recall. I've made my choice. [/QUOTE]
