What owners report

2004-03-17, Power Train
MOTORCYCLE HAS DEVELOPED A SLIP IN 1ST AND IN 2ND GEAR. I WENT TO YAMAHA AT ABOUT 7500 MILES AND COMPLAINED. THEY TRIED TO SAY I WAS TOO ROUGH ON THE BIKE. BOTH GEARS ABOUT 8500 RPM JUMPS TO 8750 RPM AND CATCHES AGAIN AND THEN AT ABOUT 9500 IT SLIPS TO 9750-10000 RPM. INITIALLY, I THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS SIMPLY NOT ENOUGH TENSION ON THE CLUTCH SO I ADJUSTED THE CABLE. FINALLY, I CONVINCED ANOTHER BUSINESS WITH A REAR-WHEEL DYNO TO LOAD IT UP AND CLEARLY SAW THE INSTANT JUMPS I HAD BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT. YAMAHA STILL DENIES ANY PROBLEMS. ODDLY ENOUGH, ANOTHER CYCLE REPAIR SHOP COMMENTED TO ME THEY WERE SURPRISED I MANAGED TO KEEP THE REAR TIRE (VERY SOFT) ON THE BIKE TO 11,250 MILES W
