Re: Here is what you need to fix the 2000 750 2nd gear
No one has been able to tell me how difficult this process is either! I have actually heard someone say that you need to turn the bike upside down. I think this would be done if you didnt just pull the engine. I need to do mine too but I kinda want to know what exactly I am getting into.
Re: Here is what you need to fix the 2000 750 2nd gear
Well when you remove the motor (very simple on the gixxer) it is fairly simple.
You remove the oil pan and then the lower case,.......just a bunch of bolts. But you need to remove the clutch and all the other components along the way. Once you get that off you will see all the parts just looking at you, simple fix, just remove the old bad parts, put in knew ones.

I have also heard someone mention flipping the bike upside down. Is this normal?? The only thing I could think of is maybe you dont have to pull the motor if you flip the whole bike over. Not sure though, I haven't pull the motor before. Heard of this????
Re: Here is what you need to fix the 2000 750 2nd gear
I am a M/C mechanic and have done several trany rebuilds including the gsxr 750. PULL the motor out of the bike first! Remove all clutch componets. Remove the through bolts behind the cylinder on the top side of the cases. then flip engine upside down and remove oil pan then lower case half. the 2000 up gsxr's use a 3 piece case design so you wont have to worry about getting into the main bearings as you do with the Busa. When you take the main and driven shafts out of the cases and disassemble them lay everything out in order. It is best to wait till you have the new gears first so you can get things apart and back together quickly before you forget. I would strongly recomend getting a factory service manual and ues a torque wrench on reassemble.
Re: Here is what you need to fix the 2000 750 2nd gear
Looking through Ron Ayers I noticed there is also a newer part for the gear shift shaft 25510-35F01, but unlike the 2nd driven gear the previous F00 part isn't discontinued. So should I go with the newer part?
Currently 2nd gear on my '00 slips under hard acceleration it always picks the gear back up after slipping momentarily, so do I need to replace the gear shift shaft and forks or would I only need to replace the 2nd & 6th driven gears?
Since it'll be open anyway I will replace them if it is recommended, but I am curious as to how they are damaged.

The original shift shaft was hollow and prone to bend during hard shifts......replace it with the solid one.
Re: Here is what you need to fix the 2000 750 2nd gear
I believe I have this problem on my 03 750. I've ordered the parts. How much does the service for this cost? Can anyone recommend a place in SoCal?
My symptoms - accelerating in 2nd gear around 9k and upwards every 500 or so rpm it bucks. At first I thought it was the clutch slipping, but I put in a new clutch. Doesn't feel like it jumps in and out of gear, but almost as if a tooth was missing on the sprocket. A momentary loss of pull and then goes again. Very annoying.
Re: Here is what you need to fix the 2000 750 2nd gear
Trik...definitaly 2nd gear...i work at a shop and i also have the exact same problem....2nd gear....your right in the explanation that it feels like your missing a few teeth off the sprocket. Until winter time...im just shifting through 2nd quickly...
Re: Here is what you need to fix the 2000 750 2nd gear
i notice on my 02 750 when pullsing into traffic i put it into neutral then the traffic will pull away ill put it in 2nd gear and it makes some weird noises and doesnt seem like its healthy to do it so im using my clutch to coast up to the traffic light. Is 02 a year that has problems?
Re: Here is what you need to fix the 2000 750 2nd gear
Trik, it depends on where you live in SoCal. If you are near San Diego then Poway Cycle in Poway is the place. I did mine in my garage on my 95 750. We did it in two days (we had to take time out to ride quads and such) and it isn't that hard of a job.
Re: Here is what you need to fix the 2000 750 2nd gear
im looking at buying a 2000 750, if ya find one thats hardly used and was babied would just replacing that hollow push rod with a solid one work. i was just wondering since im looking at bikes with around 3,000 miles and not used hard at all. i had a friend with a 00 750 that told me i just need to replace that rod if the bike wasnt used hard and ill never have a problem as long i dont hammer the bike like stunters do.
