[QUOTE="Duc4Doc, post: 174571, member: 2934"] I am interested in thoughts concerning two issues. I have a few decades experience, and some track experience. Approching 2k miles on a new '06 FJR. When cornering, after I lean in, I usually add a little maintenance throttle-ie just enough to maintain the current speed until I apex and accelerate/straighten. With the FJR, there is so much torque, that even the slightest crack of throttle often brings a jolt with it. I think this is potentially hazardous. I had my dealer remove as much play out of the throttle, but I am still jolted, as hard as I try to be a smooth rider. I usually use very little clutch during shifts. This transmission is so stiff, that initally, about a third of all shifts, both up and down, didn't occur. I have to let it out, then bring the lever all the way to the grip. Now, with almost 2k, it still does this about 20% of the time. Sometimes I also need to stomp on a downshift. Dealer suggested going to synthetic oil. I think the tranny should be smoother by now. Any ideas? Thanks, D4D [/QUOTE]
