My 2000 suzuki gsxr750 motorcycle slips out of gear when it is second gear. This problem began when the motorcycle had less than 3,000 miles on it. I have not only found other consumers with this identical problem with their 2000 gsxr's personally, I have found many others nationally through research. I have inquired at multiple dealerships as well as suzuki about this problem and their responses were all the same. They cannot help me unless there is a recall.

What owners say
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
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.
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.
