You should be able to do better than $18.2k, especially on a '23. There are dealers that will deal. I can think of four off the top of my head you could contact. Two in West Virginia, one in North Carolina, and one in Oregon.

No doubt any dealer with a '23 FJR on hand is motivated to get rid of it. Especially with the announcement of the '25 FJR imminent. I would be surprised if Yamaha doesn't have some sort of incentive given to dealers to sell 2023 FJRs.
If you don't go new there is always something like this?

Yep, there's been a number of bikes over the year with 2nd gear problems. I recall the gixxers having issues with their "Wheelie" gear. Which is exactly how Suzuki approached those issues, people bitch about Yamaha cracking open the engine for the repair, but at least they did the warranty instead of telling their customers to stop doing wheelies and go pound sand.
I am fairly certain that the ECU limited RPM was strictly when feathering the clutch.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to recall that the new surplus Police model FJRs sold to the civilian market are sold without any warranty of any sort, and they are not eligible for the YES extended warranty.

Yes, it is while feathering the clutch... apparently a few rev up their FJR's beyond 3500 rpm while slipping the clutch..... and the rev limiter would kick in..... the complainants felt this was dangerous, so the second ECU reflash upped the rpm to 6000 in that scenario.
