[QUOTE="stretch, post: 174577, member: 3772"] The torque is not the problem, the throttle on the 06 is the problem. Why Yamaha tried to fix some thing that wasn't broken beats me. They changed the pully design so it opens quicker from down low, so on throttle/of throttle/on throttle transition is not smooth. I aslo used to ride like you, using the throttle to steer to a degree, but it is not as good on the 06 compared to other models, or other bikes for that matter. There are several ways to help the throttle problem, one is to fit a Power Commander and the other is to do a throttle mod which you can see [URL="https://www.pbase.com/fredharmon/thottlepulley"][B]HERE[/B][/URL] In regards to yout trans they all seem a little on the stiff side but free up with use. You may have done 2,000 k's but where was most of it done? My first 2,000 ks was all done in the hills, constantly changing gears where as highway riding requires few gear changes. You must remember that the FJR has a trans built like a truck so I don't think it will ever be what most would call a "light" shift. [/QUOTE]
