2000 YAMAHA R6 2ND GEAR FAILURE. CENTRAL NJ. SWITCHING TO SECOND GEAR NOT SMOOTH AND COMES OUT OF SECOND GEAR. TRANSMISSION NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. I AM A SAFETY INSTRUCTOR AND KNOW HOW TO RIDE. THIS IS A MECHANICAL AND ENGINEERING ISSUE. PLEASE ADVISE AS TO THE STATUS OF THE INVESTIGATION. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN. THE MOTORCYCLE SLIPPING OUT OF GEAR WILL ACT LIKE A BRAKE AND COULD CAUSE THE BIKE TO ABRUPTLY SLOW DOWN AND COULD CAUSE A CRASH.

Mar 13, 2000

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTORCYCLES. THE SCREWS HOLDING THE SIDESTAND SWITCH CAN LOOSEN AND FALL OUT DUE TO ENGINE HEAT AND VIBRATION. IF THIS HAPPENS, THE SIDESTAND SWITCH WOULD NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY, SO IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE TO RIDE THE MOTORCYCLE WITH THE SIDESTAND IN THE DOWN POSITION.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: THIS CONDITION WOULD INCREASE THE RISK THAT THE SIDESTAND COULD HIT THE GROUND DURING A TURN, WHICH COULD CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE MOTORCYCLE.

Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE SCREWS HOLDING THE SIDESTAND SWITCH.
