[QUOTE="AdamJ, post: 312986, member: 2190"] Update: the bike's in the shop with cases split, confirmed dogs mating 2nd and 5th gear are the cause, but Yami is initally saying the repair won't be fully covered under warranty because the shift fork is bent. I plan to chat with their customer service dept. I've had a ton of bikes over the years, but the FJR is by far the easiest shifting bike I've owned. I'm extremely skeptical of Yami's position that the shift fork became bent as a result of bad shifting and that's what led to the dogs slipping, based simply on the fact I can't remember a single instance where I've had anything other than a perfect shift going into 2nd on this bike. My question to the gear-heads - how likely is a slipping dog to cause an otherwise straight shift fork to bend? [/QUOTE]
