was riding around on my 97 900rr today when i gave it in 2nd and the gear went out and than came back in...it feels just like the chain jumped a few teeth...than i got mad so i gave it really hard in 2nd and than it jumped out reved than when the rmps when down a little it went back in gear.only does it now at random times.anyone ever had this happen to them..

 

i ahve it happen very rarely on my 1000rr but when it does it is usually because the tranny is in a flase neutral. but on a bike that old i would check the shift forks and the shift drum.....
edit: and also the tranny gears themselves if you have the time,know-how and money

 

It is possible your clutches are slipping under hard load especially if they havent been replaced since the bike was new

 

i just had a new clutch put in last winter so thats all good so all signs i think are pointing toward the tranny ...i was hoping not but i guess i have to start to pull stuff apart...well if any one else has an idea let me know...

 

well pull it apart and let us know... we will be more than happy to help you if we can...

 

It definitelysounds like a bent shift fork. Especially with it being 2nd gear...

 

when i rip it down and look at the shift forks...will i be able to tell what one is bent...or do i just replace them all...also when doing this what should i all replace when im in there cuz i don;t want to do this twice

 

well just got my bike back together and it works great...it was a bent shift fork...but while i was in the i replace all three forks,fork rod,shift drum and all gaskets...came to 280 bucks..it took me 2 hours to rips it down and than 3 to put it back together...thanx everyone for the help on this one...if anyone ever has a questions on doing this just drop me an email

 

I am new i just put new shift drums and forks in my 93 900rr and it is better i acn use 2nd now but when i get on it hard it is like it skips a tooth and then crabsit wouldn't go into 2nd at all before idid the drum and forks help should i replace the two gears (32t) (27t) let me know please. thanks
