It's not you. It's the bike. Happened on mine regularly. Can shift to neutral easily enough with a quick rev in first or second. Started on my bike after a few thousand km, improved after 20 thousand km or so, but was still there. Posted a thread on it a few years back ("Neutral Shifting...

Thanks! I had a naked GS 500 same vintage and then a faired Ninja 500 before (which also seemed to get battered in the cross-winds) but was much less experienced then, so trying to figure out whether it was my experience level or the fairings/screen. Also used a high Madstad screen on the FZ6R...

Question for RooKie on this review (or any other generous Street Triple riders). I have been idly looking at the Street Triple for years. Looks like a great bike. I am curious on how you find the wind at extended highway speeds say 60-70 mph and above? and have you added a screen? For context...

I have under the grip heaters. Work very nicely, but finger tips still get cold as zero celsius approaches, even with "insulated" motorcycle gloves (Dainese, d-dry). Snowmobile gloves help, but a little clunky on the clutch. I know a very experienced rider who claims that if you have a heated...

You could try the Madstad screen and mounts. There is an older thread on this. It is a bit pricier. I replaced the stock with it and have had it on for 1-2 thousand km, including a fair bit of highway riding. It looks a bit odd - quite a big screen. As advertised, it really cut the...

Took the same course 3 weeks ago (late Christmas present). It is excellent - although a whole lot of information to process, being in the slow group and all. One great thing they do is mark the entry, apex and exit on every corner, with cones and chalk. Let's you concentrate on keeping the head...

Thanks to everybody who posted their experience. I haven't filled in the end of the story yet because I don't have it. So far the dealer service has told me that, based on suggestions from Yamaha Canada, they have increased the idle rate, taken off the clutch cover, cleaned out the plates, and...

Won't do it stopped or slowing down. Dealer did adjust the freeplay, didn't resolve it. Definitely not a big feet issue though. Mine are 9, max.:D

Wondering if anyone has come across the following issue. I have not seen it in the threads: The Issue: my bike will not shift at all from first (or second) to neutral, just using clutch and shifter. This is a consistent feature once the bike is warmed up. It can be moved to neutral 99% of the...

Yamaha Canada Centrestand Some comments; hope its some help if anyone is still looking for a stand. I have this stand - works nicely. Got it installed at the dealer. Since it added a couple hundred to the cost, I assume that is why they don't do it, since demand is low. I assume Yamaha...
