[QUOTE="user 213, post: 413674, member: 213"] Sorry to hear about the problem PF. It doesn't take a missed shift or totally abused situation for tranny problems to occur. Sometimes you just get unlucky. One potential is simply applying power too early before the gears are fully engaged. I've trashed a 2nd gear in a car that way. Just got on it a tad too quickly when shifting. Like Radman, it's hard to believe that this is a result of normal wear and tear. Lots of bikes with major mileage on them w/o tranny problems, and only a few with. Significantly, some of the problems have been major and not a result of the operator's methods or shifting, but a defect of some kind. I know you said you are going to do the work, but if you don't have the experience taking the bike apart and actually being able to see and understand what's going on inside there, know what 'normal' Vs 'abnormal' wear looks like, etc, then it might be better to let the pros have at it. I can recommend Action in Fairview as having outstanding techs that are familiar with the FJR. Regardless of how you tackle it, I hope it isn't too big a headache. [/QUOTE]
