[QUOTE="charismaticmegafauna, post: 706849, member: 665"] From what you've written, it sounds like an issue with the shift shaft or (maybe?) the end of the shift drum? The shift shaft has a mechanism on its inner end that rotates the shift drum (which then slides the shift forks to disengage and engage the gears). Since it sounds like the problem lessens when warm (shifting gets easier), it could be something-like a burr/bend/chip or wear on the business-end of the shift shaft? Any dealer worth a darn will welcome warranty work. After all, they get paid for it by Yamaha and the bigger the job -- the more the pay. An exception might be -- in the Spring (or, other high-volume time in the shop) when they may be backed-up with work? [/QUOTE]
