i was looking at some motors and i read this "" MOTOR RUNS GREAT IT HAS A PROBBLEM IN THE TRANS IT FALLS OUT OF 2ND GEAR OUTHER THEN THAT IT RUNS GOOD ALL OUTHER GEARS ARE FINE

Now ive owned my fzr for 6 yrs ive never noticed it .. but i was looking at a newer motors just in case mine decides to take a crap .. what causes this to happen and how much work and money would be involved in fixing this problem . thanX BTW i need this info ASAP

damn 11 ppl look and not one person has a clue ?
geeezz u guys

The dogs are worn out. These are the tabs that connect a sliding gear to a fixed gear. 2nd gear is the one most prone to wear because people wind-up first gear then miss the shift and you slowly wear the dogs down until they dont engage or disengage...You need to split the cases to do any trans work....I would move on unless its a super cheap deal $200 max!!!!

I've always been told that popping out of second is a good sign that the motor has been raced or stunted; as such there is probably more sh!t going bad than just 2nd.

How much truth there is to that I don't know.

Its not a bad problem to fix. We have done a couple in class but splitting the cases and all those parts have to put back together. LOL If you have the time and are not in a big hurry to get it going its a fun little project.

Like haunter said, get the Factory Pro shift kit. It was one of the best upgrades i ever did for my fzr. Not saying it will cure a full blown problem, but i used to miss 1-2 alot. The FP kit really cut down on that.

So i've heard, yes, it's true, even the best of us miss a shift every 10 years or so.

"shift cleanly or back to your cage"
