Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I am the owner of a 2001 yamaha r6 which is currently experiencing problems with 2nd gear. the bike is slipping in and out of gear in 2nd. i do not race, stunt ride or any other abusive riding so i don't understand what brought the problem on. i have done extensive research on this problem and there are a significant amount of yamaha 99-01 r6 owners who are having the same exact problems. i feel as though yamaha should take care of this problem since it seems to be a manufacturer defect. i appreciate any assistance you may be able to provide with this situation. *jb
