Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have a 2000 yamaha r6, and i have had motorcycyles my whole life. my bike has only 10,000 miles and the second gear in the transmission is slipping. yamaha claims that this is due to users improperly shifting. but this is just a lie to cover up that the bike is improperly designed or built so that they do not have to fix all these bikes. i have rode my whole life and i know how to ride a motorcylce perfectly, so i know the gear did not go bad to improper shifting. and just about ever r6 has this problem given enough time. just look on the web forums on the internet, not this many people do not know how to ride. thankyou.*ak
