Did your coworker have the transmission recall done? If not, something to schedule.

He had it to the shop once to change the oil. He took it there in a truck.
The answer is he didn't have the recall done.
I just checked and the recall starts at vin 000014 and mine is 000182, so my bike is affected.

Check whether your dealer mechanic has done this before. I bought mine as a new/old-stock unit from another state. The out-of-state dealer said they have done the mod, but it didn't shift to neutral properly when at a stop (you could still engage first gear from second at a stop). The local dealer fixed it no problem though and it doesn't take long thanks to the cassette design.
