Has anyone seen this problem on Gen 2's yet?
I know it was a problem on gen 1's and the Gixxer 1100's, but I thought I read somewhere that on Gen 2's the gears were cut with more rake on the dogs. Does anyone know if there's any truth to this?
Good luck with the repair Max. It's a pretty weird feeling when it does it. My 1100 had the problem (too much time on the back wheel), and when it first slipped I thought I had run over something slippery and broke traction. I didn't have the cash to fix it, so I just kept riding it. The slipping became more frequent, and I eventually stopped riding it when it nearly threw me off whilst powering out of a corner. Sold the bike cheap and made it someone elses problem (told them about it).
