[QUOTE="RTSR1/FJR, post: 156134, member: 588"] Pull the clutch in and blip the throttle to break the clutch pack loose and allow oil into the clutch pack on down shifts. Like Rad said, beat on the clutch some and it will wear in. R1's had this problem in '04. Typically, a clutch friction plate is soaked in oil and fully saturated before installation. Yamaha has a bad habit of installing with grease instead. Usually the sticking will cure itself, but there have been instances where the plates had to be removed, soaked and reinstalled to cure this issue. [/QUOTE]
