I'm looking at a 2000 GSXR 750 and the bike looks great, runs great, all kinds of aftermarket goodies. The only thing is that the guy says that it pops in and out of 1st gear at low rpms. I haven't seen the bike in person, saw it on ebay and it's not selling, he's asking 3800 for it though and I have the whole winter to work on the thing.
So I'm wondering if it's the actual 1st gear, because I know that a lot of times 2nd gear will go, or if it might be something else.
I don't want to have to put a lot of money into the bike, so how much do you guys think it would cost?

 

thats no good it sounds like a messed up shift fork in the tranny..dont go that way

 

doing it yourself u are looking at around 3-400 to do a tranny rebuild. if u have a shop do it u are looking at 13-1500

 

OOoo, doesn't sound good, can I get a second opinion? What exactly is the shift fork? Is that like the gear dog? Something that moves it into gear and holds in then

 

Here's a thread from gsxr.com, I'm not sure if this is the same though though http://www.gsxr.com/showthread.php?t...ighlight=geare

 

Yeah I'd steer clear of that bike. Don't get a gixxer man if you're gonna stunt you'll just be fixing it all the time. I guarantee you can get a nice 929 for 5k or an f4i even cheaper.

 

check the suntlife classified, there are alot of good bikes rangeing from 2-5 thousand. that might be the better way to go.

 

If you plan on buying it here's the thing you want the bike to be tight as possible if you plan on stunting then you make it crunchy by riding. I kick myself self all the time when I bought mine from a guy who did'nt take care of it and I had to damn near be a suzuki tech. So my advice don't start a money pit you'll do that when you start droping the bike trust me.

 

I'm actually looking to get a bike that looks pretty good, it's not going to be an all out stuntbike but I am going to put a cageon whatever I get. I'm going to be going to school down in North Carolina next year and I'm not going to bother with getting a car, just keep a bike year round, so for that reason I was to get something that looks nice but I can still wheelie around on.
I don't think I'm going to go with that ebay bike, too much work and it would just turn into a money pit. It has 12,000 on it to.

 

my old r6 did the same thing either the gear or shifting fork fuked

 

ill tell you exactly what it is.the guy did one to many powerwheelies in first gear tried to shift to second and fuked up the shifting fork.THat is exactly whats wrong with it.

 

He may be right power wheelies do **** some **** up on a bike but I'm sure his clutches are good.

 

ya, at least the clutch is good! Screw this bike, time to look somewhere else. Thanks for all the info guys

 

I think 2000 model gixxers had weak trannys, I heard they got the bug worked out of the in the 2001 models.

 

Another **** rider clutchless shifting.
Don't buy and tell the dumb **** to learn to ride.
If you ride like a piece of **** you are one.

 

thats some harsh **** LOL

 

Thank you but unfortunately its true.
