- Squid bro,
Adjust the linkage see if it helps. You
might not be getting it quite all the way in
gear, escpecially if you are shifting really
quick. My 93 Zx 6 would pop out of gear alot
but I never had any tranny problems. After
I sold it the guy beat the hell out of it
and it started popping out of second gear.
So, it might be normal it might be worn but
you can help the situation by being smart
about it and not abusing the potential
problem.
I wound up splitting the cases on that motor
to satisfy my curiosity (I put a new motor
in for the guy, he bought it, I put it in
for free cuz I'm a nice guy). Anyway when I
checked out the bottom end the mating areas
of the gears (The cogs) where worn out. This
had been done before more me, I didn't beat 2nd
gear on that bike. I rode it fairly kindly
and then this guy beat it to the point of
no recovery. What I am trying to say is,
unless you have to, don't beat on that gear.
Make it a point to shift all the way into
2nd and just generally try to be nice to it.
Put good synthetics in when you change the
oil.
Question - is it in gear for a while and then
pops out, or does it engage and then pop out
immediatley or do you get a missed shift and
never REALLY hit 2nd gear?
I've owned mostly Kawi and Yamaha products.
In my expirience, Yamahas shift like notchy
sh!t and Kawi's pop out of gear. Bike trannies
are a weak link.

Anyone got a rear tire I can borrow?
