Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: As with many other owners of the yamaha r6 i have experienced premature failure with the motorcycles transmission with only 11,000 miles on the bike. when under acceleration in 2nd gear the bike will jump out of gear and slip. i view this to be a safety hazard for many as hundreds of these motorcycles have experienced the same problem. i would like to see the manufacture compensate the owners of these motorcycles in one way or another. i feel like yamaha has left many people high and dry with the bill to fix a problem that should never have been.*ak
