yamaha had an update on this they went to a different belt and added a shim in the secondary. I think this was on the 07 and 08. other wise make sure the idle is not turned up to high, it causes drag on the secondary and it will not shift into reverse

Get the update done but even with the update done it is still not a smooth shift back and forth. My wifes still needs rocked to get it to shift. Before the update sometimes it wouldn't shift at all. So it is better but still not good. Just live with it now.

the push button reverse has lots of problems, or so says my dealer, i'd wondered why the phazers had them but the nytros didn't and he said there was a lot of partial shift problems, nice idea when they get it perfected.
