“I purchased a brand new 2007 FJR1300 Yamaha in june of 08. To date motorcycle has 1151 miles on it. From day one motorcycle had a very sticky clutch. I always warm up the bike to 2 or 4 bars and then attempt to put bike into first gear, pull in the clutch with brake applied and bike would shut off. I would restart the bike, pull in the clutch with brake gently applied and bike would clunk into 1st and lurch forward. …”
NHTSA complaint #10264470, filed 2009-04, 1,151 miles“2007 Yamaha fjr 1300 ae, 11,000 miles. - intermittent problems with shifting. After riding about 10 minutes, began downshifting to exit the freeway when the transmission became locked in 4th gear. Once this happened, it would not up or down shift with either the hand or foot shifter. Then I stopped the motorcycle and turned off the engine. Then turned the key back on and was able to click down to 2nd gear. Reignited the engine and bike snapped into gear (still in 2nd). After this, the bike resumed normal function. …”
NHTSA complaint #10332531, filed 2010-05, 10,500 miles“When initially shifting into first gear a loud clunk is heard in the transmission and the bike will lurch forward and take off or if the brake is apply the engine will stall. Then the clutch breaks loose and you can drive away. The bike will upshift hard and shift timing is critical. Then when you approach an intersection and need to down shift you need to use the brakes to break loose the clutch. After several miles it warms up and becomes less sticky. The clutch will disengage after a few seconds and then you can shift. If you don't use the clutch for several miles it gets sticky again. …”
