[QUOTE="El Toro, post: 1292718, member: 14779"] I know this is an old thread, but there have been some recent posts. My story on this clutch stuttering or shuddering has been told elsewhere. But to summarize it here for the few who are interested, my most recent 2009 AE came off the truck from Wisconsin last October stuttering. I didn't send the bike back because it had the Y.E.S warranty into April 2017 and I figured that would be time enough to sort it out. The seller (a non Yamaha dealer) assured me that they all stutter when they're cold. This one was worse than the '09 that I'd bought new which exhibited the same problem. I let Yamaha sort it out at the local dealer here in Tennessee. It did not take very long. They tried an oil change, which was needed but did not solve the problem. Then they raised the speed at which the computer would engage/couple the clutch to the engine. This latter adjustment was simple and it is exactly the sort of thing a human would have done had the human been screwing up the clutch engagement. Raise the rpm at which the clutch is engaged ... makes sense. So this was a cheap fix. I've had four of these AE models, and I've loved them all. I currently have two of them, and both are a joy, hot or cold. [/QUOTE]
