Consumer states that while driving at any speed and no warning the vehicle will jerk and will slip into 2nd gear causing a vehicle accident. Dealer notified ts
The transmission has no oiling to the 1-2 gear. Over time it overheats and spits out of 2nd gear. On a high performance motorcycle, this can be deadly. Please help us, the manufacutrer claims it is rider error, but we have over the internet contacted many owners all over the country that have had the problem.
Transmission is skipping in 2nd gear. Is gradually getting worse. This could cause a crash on a motorcycle of this type. I know of other people that have the same problem.
A lot of 2000 suzuki gsx-r750 motorcycles are having the 2nd gears go out of them due to a hollow shift shaft and the 2nd driven gear engagement dogs. Suzuki america will not admit to this problem. They revised these part #'s for the 2001 models and they do not have this issue. The revised part #'s are (shift shaft/25510-35f01) & (2nd driven gear engagement dogs/24321-35f01). I have had a case open with suzuki (case # 55970) for a long time now, and they refuse to fix it.
