I have heard of this second gear issue with these bikes and the number one killer of second gear is winding 1st out to high rpm before shifting to second. How do I know this? the guy I bought my cat from told me he replaced the motor in it before he sold it to me, when I bought the bike he had 20 k miles and I always remembered what he said to me, always being careful not to do that. I now have 53k on the bike still with no second gear issues. I think that if you do buy this bike, just be aware of the problem and, taking care not to 12k rpm 1st gear before shifting to second gear, and you will have one hell of a reliable bike for years to come.
hi, i found this out after redoing the engine, after i sold it i told the same thing to the guy, beware of the big clack betwen first and second, and shift at low rpm, thank you for the comment
I have also the same problem with cluth. The best way to remove is pneumatic key I think. I remove with pneumatic key and it is good. I must change My Second Gear in fzs 600 this winter. Can I have a questions to You when I will have a problem?? Sorry for My English, I'm from Poland ;)
