jaxn Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 My dealer said it's under 2 hours for the work. You'll spend more time just trying to schedule the work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vespadaddy Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Hats off to my local dealer, Waldoch Sports in Forest Lake, MN. The FJ-09 is the only bike I have bought from this dealer, so I have no prior relationship with them, but here's how it all went down for me: I received a voicemail on Friday alerting me that the parts were in. I called them back on Sat, and arranged to show up today (Monday), around noon. The dealer loaned me a 1987 Kawasaki full-boat bagger touring bike they had just taken in on trade, so I could ride while they worked on my bike. I probably put about 50-60 miles on that wallowing beast, then rode back to the dealer just in time to see they had finished my warranty repairs. I'm about 90 miles in, and loving the bike.

bobdog Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Here's a picture of my bad part. The bend at the top left under the spring is supposed to be different. 2015 Grey FJ09 with a few tweaks, 2007 HD Street Glide - Good Bike + Good Friends = Good Day.

sixcharlie Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 So, Intent to recall sent out in the US 20 days ago and now my bike is done. All in all, good job Yamaha. A good tech could knock the job out in 40 minutes or so, after having done it before. Took me about 2 1/2 house but I wasn't hard at work and accomplished the 600 mile service at the same time. My bike is right in the middle of the US recall range. I wasn't very impressed with the clutch action at mile 1 and it had steadily gotten worse. Instead of clicking into gear it mushed into gear. That was the complaint I had my dealer file as a warranty claim to get my kit released as I wasn't going to wait until June for them to be off backorder (again, this is Yamaha USA). Yamaha USA told the service manger that this would solve the issues I had. And it did. There is no vagueness when I go for a gear, a nice click. Neutral is easy to find and I'm...quite happy. So now I start the "Ohlins front and back" fund and may even see about getting a 19" wheel for the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I will need to call Yamaha in Ca.? That is very odd. If it was a manager that told you that, I would find a new store. If it wasn't, I'd call as ask for the service manager and see if that person wants your business. They don't have to buy the parts and Yamaha pays them to do the work. It's a win for a service department. With that said I have no idea why they wouldn't want to take care of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Hi, Just booked mine Tracer in for this fix for Monday. Anyone have any details of the process for this fix.

sixcharlie Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 Shift linkage removed from shift shaft, left side of bike. Work done on side stand so no oil loss when clutch cover removed. Shift cable disconnected, clutch cover removed. Oil pump sprocket removed. Clutch removed. Shift shaft held in by spring, removed and remove shift shaft. Install new shift shaft, reinstall clutch, oil pump sprocket, cover, cable, shift linkage. Done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Thank you, I ask as in an very early post i mentioned a harshness coming from the clutch here released and in neutral with the engine running. This have been getting worse with riding so hopefully they can examine the clutch basket when performing this for any malfunctions as well. This harshness and grinding noise is now noticeable when riding with the gearbox engaged. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixcharlie Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 I had the same thing, it is related to the shift shaft stopper and not the clutch basket. It will go away when the new part is installed. I'll post pictures later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixcharlie Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 Most of the work done on this side. Pointing to the problem, behind the clutch. Removing clutch basket. Shift shaft out. See the wear marks? Shouldn't be there. New shift shaft installed. Clutch plats, basket, etc. Blue dot on the end. Job done. Shifts wonderfully now.
