[QUOTE="McRuss, post: 1204313, member: 251"] I also approached the service manager with the question of the possibility that the button was not replaced and he confirmed that it is a one piece item. The photo by mcatrophy indicates that it is a unit including the housing and the wire harness. My housing looks original but what do I know? Yamaha suggested to him that the problem was me shifting at too slow a speed. I did some experimenting this morning and found that the only way I can duplicate the failure is to coast at an idle in 1st, RPMs at about 1100 or 1200. Any time the clutch engages (at higher RPMs) it will shift even though the indicator says "Pull up! Pull up! Insufficient ground speed!" or some such (no gear indicated.) As for dealer short cutting, I would usually agree but this dealer (Destination Cycle, Kerrville, Texas) is OK. They even replaced my rear shock at 55,000 while they were working on the shift problem. Said it was starting to leak and they were poking around up there anyway. Covered it under 'good will.' No argument from me! To be continued... [/QUOTE]
