Is anyone else having problems changing down into the bottom three gears on the 2014 model while on the move? Fourth to third is difficult, third to second more difficult, I'm pushing hard on the pedal to get it to go into first and once there getting it to go into neutral is pretty much impossible until I've stopped.
It was fine for the first 1500 miles or so but seems to have deteriorated since. It only seems to be an issue when the bike is hot, i.e. has been running a few hours. My local dealer, who agrees it seems 'stiff', has checked the gear change linkage which is fine and is now going to have a look at the clutch. They've spoken to Yamaha UK who say they've never heard of such an issue so I wondered if anyone here has had a similar experience. Maybe that's 'just how it is' but it wasn't and none of our other bikes exhibit the same behaviour including the earlier S10.
Thanks.
Kevin
