[QUOTE="Spork, post: 1370484, member: 88342"] Thanks for the replies, 17K miles, owned it since about 6K I've ridden about once a week 24 miles round trip in Chicago stop and go traffic (12 miles in 45 minutes), that's a lot of clutchwork between 1-2 gears. lots of "rolling stops". This has been going on for about 2.5 years. To my memory, it has gotten progressively worse, and by that it happens more often. I don't know if this is relevant but the clutch seems to engage at the end of the release (like the last 1/4 or less). So far my solution is to pick up a XSR tomorrow (new 17) for the city and put the FJR up to take a closer look. The part that messes with me is that I have switched to Touring, I've been careful to watch the rpms as I release the clutch(2.5k with a steady application of throttle to keep it it above 2K, and it still happens. Ugh... [/QUOTE]
