| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 2001 yzfr6 and the 2nd gear is going out for the second time. i don't stunt ride or abuse my bike. i bought the bike brand new back in '01 and in 01 or 02 i had to replace the shifting forks for 2nd and 6th gear, also the gears themselves had to be replaced, 1500 dollars. yamaha said this was from riding abuse. summer of 05 *bike was parked for all of 04, 2nd gear started to slip again. i've heard from other sources that all r6's from 99-02 have this problem and it's because of a milling error in the transmission drum. since there is an error the 2nd gear shifting fork can't rest in the correct spot. *nm |
