[QUOTE="dunhamg, post: 294776, member: 359"] I'm sure that is the right diagnosis based on your description of the problem. It will continue to get worse as the dogs wear and will cause the shift forks to bend also. The dealer should be able to fix it up for you. I had this very same issue on my '99 R1. I took it in to the dealer to get it repaired and the mechanic couldn't get it to happen for him. I told him that it only did it while holding a wheelie in second gear. He didn't even blink, said okay and sure enough when they tore it apart that's what it was. Fully covered on the YES. That was a great dealer that I wish was closer to where I live now. Good luck with that one. I'm really impressed with the FJR so far as I've got 74,000 miles and second gear is still holding strong. I took one out of a VMax, second gear didn't hold up on my old ZX-11 either and the '99 R1 had the tranny apart 3 times in 100,000 miles. You could say I'm VERY impressed with the tranny on the FJR. I have only used the YES for a throttle postion sensor that was recalled a month later so that has not been nearly the investment that it was on my '99 R1. [/QUOTE]
