THE TRANSMISSION JUMPS OUT OF SECOND GEAR. THIS OCCURED AT APPROXIMATLEY 800 MILES, NEARLY CAUSING ME TO CRASH. THIS ALSO HAPPEND TO A FRIEND OF MINE WHO OWNS THE SAME MOTORCYCLE. THIS OCCURED ON HIS BIKE AT APPROXIMATLEY 700 MILES. WHEN WE CONTACTED SUZUKI THEY STATED THAT IT WAS RIDER ERA. UPON SPEAKING TO OTHER OWNERS OF 2000 GSXR750Y MODEL MOTORCYCLES MANY HAVE EXPRIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM, ALSO NEARLY CAUSING THEM TO CRASH.
THE 2ND GEAR IS SKIPPING. WHEN THE 2ND GEAR CATCHES BACK THE MOTORCYCLE LUNGES FORWARD ABRUPTLY. THIS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF MY MOTORCYCLE. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT OF ATLEAST 20 PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM AND THE MANUFACTURE IS DENYING IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM.
MOTORCYCLE IS IN THE SHOP FOR THE SECOND TIME WITHIN A WEEK AFTER I GOT IT OUT. THERE ARE MANY PROBLEMS WITH THE BIKE AND ITS TRANSMISSION/CLUTCH.........PLEASE HELP, BIKE IS DEFFECTIVE, AND WILL BRING A LAWSUIT IF NEEDED...SINCERELY MIKE SIMON. *AK
WHEN MOTORCYCLE IS SHIFTED INTO 2ND GEAR AT ABOUT 7000 RPMS , THE MOTORCYCLE HAS FAILURE WHILE IN GEAR...FEELS AS IF THE BIKE IS HITTING SOMETHING ON THE ROAD. *AK
THE TRANSMISSION IS SKIPPING WHILE ACCELERATING IN 2ND GEAR. ON A MOTORCYCLE THIS COULD CAUSE A LOSE OF CONTROLE OF THE MOTORCYCLE.
