2nd gear would slip. Engine feels like is dying out when this happens. Have taken to bike shop, and was informed that it was a transmission problem. Took to mc shop and dealer was not honoring warranty for repairs. Charging to check engine & transmission for slippage. *ak
2000 Suzuki GSX-R750 transmission complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 33 of 33, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The transmission is coming out of gear and skipping at any speed. Please look into this problem as there have been many complaints. Motorcycle is dangerous to ride.
Vehicle keeps slipping out of 2th gear, and sometimes 5th gear, causing RPM 's to go high.please provide further information.
Last week as I was riding my motorcycle, I noticed that in second gear the engine speed momentarily raced as if I had ridden through a puddle. (the road was dry) since then, there have been several times where I am accelerating in second gear and the engine speed momentarily jumps as if the tire is slipping. However, the road is dry and my chain is tight so it is most definitely the transmission that is slipping. Last night as I was again accelerating in second gear, the motorcycle began to jerk so badly that I nearly wrecked it. The transmission skipped so violently in second gear (maybe about ten times within a second or so) that the front tire was actually coming off of the ground when the transmission did catch. I quickly parked the motorcycle so I would not wreck it. Notice that it has only happened in second gear.. So far.
No summary
While driving transmission jumps out of gear ,causing loss of vehicle control. Please give any further details.
At random intervals, the transmission will slip out of, then back into gear. This has happened on 1/2, 3/4 and 4/5 on my bike. 1/2 high RPM (12-14k) shifts are nearly impossible without it slipping back out of 2nd. The 2nd gear problem is the most severe, and my dealer will not service this under warranty. If it slips out of 2nd while I'm in a corner, it could cause loss of control.
Transmission skipping in second gear, and intermittently would pop out of second gear. Dealer notified, and unable to get an appointment until approximately ten weeks or more. Please feel free to provide any further details.
When transmission is in second gear motorcycle jumps out of second. Dealer has inspected the motorcycle.
The dealer has been great but I want to make sure other bikes are beening taken care off. No safety defect listed.
Under acceleration, 2nd gear will rapidly jump in-and-out of gear, causing the motorcycle to be unsafe during normal operating conditions.
Second gear will continuosly engage and disengage while riding, this can be very dangerous on a motorcycle and it feels very unstable. This is due to unsufficient gearbox component/s that will deteriote over a small duration of mileage. Suzuki has updated part numbers already and are probably working on more, no technical service bulletins or recalls have been posted at this time. Hopefully it doesnt take a fatality or severe bodily injury lawsuit before this problem is corrected. If you have any more questions please call at daytime(636)891-2806 for more information.
Pops out of 2nd gear during acceleration, which is extrememly dangerous. This happens very often. At least 4-5 times a day. I have spoken to over 30 other people with the same motorcycle that have the same problem.
The motorcycle will momentarily pop out of second gear. This is potentially deadly on a motorcycle. Suzuki says they have no knowledge of the issus, and insist it's due to abuse.
The transmission jumps out of second gear. This occured at approximatley 800 miles, nearly causing me to crash. This also happend to a friend of mine who owns the same motorcycle. This occured on his bike at approximatley 700 miles. When we contacted suzuki they stated that it was rider era. Upon speaking to other owners of 2000 gsxr750y model motorcycles many have exprienced the same problem, also nearly causing them to crash.
The 2nd gear is skipping. When the 2nd gear catches back the motorcycle lunges forward abruptly. This almost caused me to lose control of my motorcycle. I have been in contact of atleast 20 people with this same problem and the manufacture is denying it is a common problem.
Motorcycle is in the shop for the second time within a week after I got it out. There are many problems with the bike and its transmission/clutch.........please help, bike is deffective, and will bring a lawsuit if needed...sincerely mike simon.
When motorcycle is shifted into 2nd gear at about 7000 rpms , the motorcycle has failure while in gear...feels as if the bike is hitting something on the road.
The transmission is skipping while accelerating in 2nd gear. On a motorcycle this could cause a lose of controle of the motorcycle.
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.
When shifting into second gear motorcycle cuts off and cuts right back on. Dealer can't find solution.
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.
Just purchased motorcycle, had over 15 incidents where the transmission either popped out of 2nd gear while in motion which has almost caused me to crash and also had the same bike jump into neutral between 3rd/4th gear and 4th/5th gear. This is way too scary on a motorcycle. Contacted dealer, they told me that I would be responsible for paying the damage unless suzuki gets involved stating it's a manufacturer error. I always owned suzuki, this is the first problem ever. I am very scared to ride this motorcycle now and I can't afford to have it looked at. I just paid $10,000 for the [xxx] thing and I'm stuck. Help!!! [xxx]. *ak information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
