How smooth do other members find the XTX gearbox is, I ask as I have owned 4 Yamaha bikes over the years, and they have all had superbly smooth gear changes,not so the Xts.

The bike in question is a 2009 model with just under 4000km ,when i engage first gear there is a small clunk and the bike moves forward slightly,changing between 1&2 is good,between 2&3 usually results in a very loud clunk, not smooth at all, but not always. The rest of the gears are all fine, as is changing down the gears.

I have taken it back to the shop and they rode it and said all was fine,that all bikes jump when put into 1st gear ,xts something to do with larger clutch plates engaging,all my other bikes have been 250cc bikes and the gear boxes have all been super smooth, never clunked into gear or lurched forward when first gear engaged.

Its not been a problem, never misses a gear or finds a false nuetral,just feels a bit agricultural compared to past bikes.

Yamaha are usually known for there smooth gear boxes,but the XTX is definately not smooth.
