    I was hoping at 19k I would be safe but some say at 25k they had a problem. I have a 2013, did the new slipper clutch help or do you think anything was changed in the transmission on the later year bikes? Sounds like very few have a problem but difficult to tell the true numbers. Good luck turtleman.
    (ok, just read the posts 2 topics below and got some questions answered).

    Yamaha Corp is very aware of the third gear problems trust me.

    They should cover the issue without and issues.

    I had my third gear and lifters replaced on both my 2008 Raider & my 2010 Deluxe on Yamaha's dime.
