2000 Suzuki GSX-R750 Transmission and drivetrain Problems

“A lot of 2000 Suzuki gsx-r750 motorcycles are having the 2nd gears go out of them due to a hollow shift shaft and the 2nd driven gear engagement dogs. Suzuki america will not admit to this problem. They revised these part #'s for the 2001 models and they do not have this issue. The revised part #'s are (shift shaft/25510-35f01) & (2nd driven gear engagement dogs/24321-35f01). I have had a case open with Suzuki (case # 55970) for a long time now, and they refuse to fix it. This failed right after my warranty was up. …”

“At random intervals, the transmission will slip out of, then back into gear. This has happened on 1/2, 3/4 and 4/5 on my bike. 1/2 high RPM (12-14k) shifts are nearly impossible without it slipping back out of 2nd. The 2nd gear problem is the most severe, and my dealer will not service this under warranty. If it slips out of 2nd while I'm in a corner, it could cause loss of control.”

“My 2000 Suzuki GSXR750 motorcycle slips out of gear when it is second gear. This problem began when the motorcycle had less than 3,000 miles on it. I have not only found other consumers with this identical problem with their 2000 gsxr's personally, I have found many others nationally through research. I have inquired at multiple dealerships as well as Suzuki about this problem and their responses were all the same. They cannot help me unless there is a recall.”

“The 2nd gear is skipping. When the 2nd gear catches back the motorcycle lunges forward abruptly. This almost caused me to lose control of my motorcycle. I have been in contact of atleast 20 people with this same problem and the manufacture is denying it is a common problem.”

“The transmission jumps out of second gear. This occured at approximatley 800 miles, nearly causing me to crash. This also happend to a friend of mine who owns the same motorcycle. This occured on his bike at approximatley 700 miles. When we contacted Suzuki they stated that it was rider era. Upon speaking to other owners of 2000 gsxr750y model motorcycles many have exprienced the same problem, also nearly causing them to crash.”
