[QUOTE="rpm, post: 1281748, member: 49436"] Really appreciate the feedback! Just took a 1700 mile trip and didn't have any problem, but I took it real easy in 2nd. With long trips planned for spring and summer (CA, AK), part of me wants to trade up to the 2016 as soon as they're available. But with 65K miles, minor scuffs, and trans issues, trade in on the 2013 is low. And I don't want to be among the first to get the new model. Getting her fixed is probably the best path. Will pursue Yamaha relief, but understand that it's a long shot. Still unsure if it's a defect or something I'm doing to cause dog to wear, and also wondering why I would get another FJR when I had this costly experience. I wish I had the skills to turn the bike upside down, but I let the dealer do all maintenance, so that's not in the cards. So I ask myself, what would Uncle Hud do? [/QUOTE]
