[QUOTE="OneWound, post: 1443800, member: 92444"] Hi All, I got a 2006 FJR1300 w/ ~ 25K miles. For most of the life I've had it (since ~14K?) it seems to shift hard going from 2nd --> 1st. It only appears to happen above ~4,000 RPM, and yes, I am fully depressing the clutch. It's bad enough that I can see silver shavings when I do oil changes, and I'm fairly certain its from the shifting. From what I can deduce from other forum posts, I should bleed the clutch and [I]potentially [/I]soak the clutch plates. Am I correct in my diagnosis? Is it highly likely I just need to bleed my clutch, or should I sucker up and just do both? Thanks in advance.. [/QUOTE]
