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 when most get replaced at roughly 9000. guess I'm too tough on it.
