    Clutch too grabby in morning or after sitting for a day

    Had EXACTLY the same problem after my Dealer changed my oil. They also used "Yamalube". I am convinced it came out of the shop 'hose', bulk oil. Clutch was super inconsistent and 'grabby'. Had to change oil and filter 3 times before it was 'cured'. Get a couple gallons of the cheap yamalube...

    Un-Even Idle, Hard Start, Vibes...Cured!

    The standard battery lost power so slowly (4 years old) that it was not real noticable. Thought it must need a tune up. Info here made me consider (hope) it could be Battery related. When the bike sat at the Gas Station with the Sidestand down and key left on for a few minutes, it finished it...
