2000 YAMAHA R6 2ND GEAR FAILURE. CENTRAL NJ. SWITCHING TO SECOND GEAR NOT SMOOTH AND COMES OUT OF SECOND GEAR. TRANSMISSION NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. I AM A SAFETY INSTRUCTOR AND KNOW HOW TO RIDE. THIS IS A MECHANICAL AND ENGINEERING ISSUE. PLEASE ADVISE AS TO THE STATUS OF THE INVESTIGATION. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN. THE MOTORCYCLE SLIPPING OUT OF GEAR WILL ACT LIKE A BRAKE AND COULD CAUSE THE BIKE TO ABRUPTLY SLOW DOWN AND COULD CAUSE A CRASH.
