    My input:
    When I bought this bike in may of this year it did not have 2nd gear issuses. I worked at a golf course and I rode this bike almost everyday. It ran (and probably still does) awesomely. It started to develop a jerk at about 12k rpms in second gear and SECOND GEAR only, but it did not even do it all the time. At the time I did not know any better and thought it was the clutch slipping when the bike got hot, a legitimate assumption. When I sold the bike to yeaiwonder88 I told him this and all of the other stuff about the bike being dropped before.

    - The bike has been dropped before. It was repaired and repainted over 4 years ago. Unless it has been repaired, there is road rash on the brake lever and bottom of the stator cover. Like I said it has been repaired and the paint was in good shape when I sold it and probably still is.

    - I was the 3rd onwer of this bike and JDMracer is the 5th.

    - The only time that I saw the 5th owner (yeaiwonder88) ride the bike was on the test ride. He wheelied it out of the parking lot bouncing off the limiter. And the agreement was that I would get my helmet after you went and got one that fit. You even called and told me that you were going to drop it off at my house. And let me tell you how mad I am because "Taylor wouldn't sell me the bike back" he never even responded to that question.

    - I suggest that anybody interested in the bike ride it. If you have the balls rev it out in first then third then second. If nothing happens then I will put my foot in my mouth. But woulnd't you think that it is odd if its the plugs and wires that it only does it in second?

    - I was under the assumption that jdmracer has never had insurance on the bike. That was what I was told.

    check this out. Like I said im 99% sure the bike has this problem

    This bike has all the symptons of a bent fork in the transmission...not trying to say that this bike is a piece of shit, considering this is a very common problem with the 1st gen r6. Simply, whoever buys this bike should be aware of this problem and aware of the cost involved in fixing it.
