Preload Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Dont worry all Yamaha's crash into 1st when cold, if your not happy about it put her in gear first then start the bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noise Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Due to a bike having a wet clutch, the fluid sticks the plates together when cold. Before you start the bike up do the following: turn ignition on Pull in clutch Put into 1st gear Keeping clutch in rock the bike back and forth un till she rolls freely Put back into N Start bike and ride off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obriens65 Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 It's not just Yamaha's that do it. I had a Kwak GPZ600 that did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
