[QUOTE="dhalen32, post: 156054, member: 2782"] Radman: I tend to agree with you regarding the dealer's first response but I'm also inclined to play his game awhile until this gets sorted out. I want to be cooperative and have documented what we have both done to resolve things in case I need him pleading my case with Yamaha. So you think I need to "help" break in this clutch a little more vigorously? I have ridden and wrenched only wet clutch bikes since 1970 and this is the crankiest one I have owned so far. Since motorcycle gearboxes are fairly easy to shift clutchless I really don't notice much of a problem with upshifts whether hot or cold. However, this 5-4 downshift feels like the bike is jammed in fith and will never move downward again. Thanks again for your thoughts on my problem. Dave [/QUOTE]
