[QUOTE="Constant Mesh, post: 444126, member: 615"] ponyfool, what's the wear condition of your 1st gear dogs? Many complain about the neutral-to-1st shift bang and lurch when a bike is motionless. Just wondering if one could see evidence of this on the 1st gear? While you've got your engine broken open you might consider changing a component on the middle drive assembly just below the transmission shafts. From the Yamaha Canada site for the 2008 FJR: *** Middle gear damper spring load is increased for improved feeling at clutch engagement and better shifting feeling overall. On page 5-85 of the service manual this damper spring is shown. Don't know what changed except maybe they upgraded to a stronger spring. Probably not an expensive mod while you're in the beast.
