Have now had the bike for two years, just ran out of warranty today.
Great bike except for the gearbox, 1 - 3 very vague and difficult to shift, especially today with 3 rd gear seems like it went in but then engaged with a loud klunk, only did it a few times , but something that hasn't happened before. I've read that these things have got some gearbox issues, but this has to be the worse of any bike I've had recently or is it just the way it is and I'm over reacting
Since its been serviced by Yamaha via warranty they have used yamlube semi synthetic.
If I change to fully synthetic would that "improve" the shifting as it stands now its extremely frustrating.
