Yeah. I just got of the R-1 forum and yep, I'm sure the 2nd gear is out of whack. It only skips when I give it the spurs in 2nd gear. I guess the previous owner was a drag racing nut or a 2nd gear wheeliing fool. :mad:


NE know how to work on these things? :D

your shift fork is probably bent, happens when you miss the gear or get it partly in there and it pops out. Then once its bent it will just tear up those gears that mesh to it. So your 1st 2nd and 3rd are probably all jacked. Not a big deal at all, just time consuming. You have to pull the motor and slpit the cases.


I should have rode your bike i would have known. Didnt I tell you R1s were the tranny killers....see if you can just send it to R & D and it will never break again.
