[QUOTE="RadioHowie, post: 153134, member: 426"] I'm glad the recent postings on this thread bumped it up to the top of the forum. This is exactly what was occuring on the '03 I test-drove a year ago at the local Yammie dealer. Accelerate from a dead stop in 1st gear...hard or soft acceleration, didn't matter. Shift into second, give it some throttle, and BANG...out of 2nd and right back in. Scared the s#&^ out of me the first time it happened, being a dealer consignment bike I was looking at. Attempted to recreate the situation and did so successfully, almost with every shit into 2nd. If I pulled a "grandad" shift, i.e., nice and easy, no problem. But use the slightest bit of "agression" and bam-bam...in-out-in. Needless to say, I didn't buy it. Found my '04 about an hour later on the internet, 60 miles away. By the way, that '03 had about 27k on the odo and no way of knowing if the tranny had seen abuse. The bike didn't look like it had been owned by a squid, but you never know. [/QUOTE]
