MAYBE SOME OF YOU AE GUYS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM,OR MAYBE IT'S INHERENT WITH THE AE. I GET SOME SERIOUS CLUTCH SLIPPAGE IN THE HIGHER RPM'S WHEN SHIFTING GEARS.FIRST TO SECOND AND THEN TO THIRD ARE REALLY BAD,THE BIKE LITTERLY FALLS ON IT'S FACE BETWEEN GEARS AT ANYTHING OVER 6 GRAND WHEN SHIFTING.IT TAKES A GOOD SECOND OR TWO BEFORE THE CLUTCH WILL REENGAGE FULLY. THIS CANNOT BE GOOD FOR THE CLUTCH,IT'S SLIPPING LIKE CRAZY. I'M WONDERING IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE SHIFT ECU.I DO HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER TOMMOROW,SO HE CAN ROAD TEST IT.THE BIKE HAS 8500KM ON IT,THE ONLY THING I DID THAT I THOUGHT MAY BE CAUSING IT IS THAT AT 5000KM I CHANGED THE OIL TO AMSOIL 10/40 SYNTHETIC.I HAVEN'T REALLY NOTICED THE PROBLEM UNTIL THE LAST COUPLE OF THOUSAND KM'S.I DO RIDE TWO UP MOST OF THE TIME,AND DON'T REALLY RIDE THAT HARD WITH THE BETTER HALF ON THE BACK,COULD BE WHY I NEVER REALLY NOTICED IT. AS MUCH AS I LOVE THE FJR IF THIS IS AN INHERENT PROBLEM THAT CAN'T BE FIXED I MAY BE FORCED TO TRADE FOR A C14,I'M GOING TO TRY ONE OUT TOMORROW.
