Consumer Description

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
