Owner report 10010485 · 2003-03-14 (March 14, 2003)
MOTORCYCLE TRANSMISSION OFTEN MISSES SHIFT FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR, HITTING A "FALSE NEUTRAL". ALSO, THE TRANSMISSION HAS, ON OCCASION, JUMPED FROM 3RD GEAR BACK TO 2ND AFTER SHIFTING TO 3RD, CREATING A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHERE THE RIDER COULD BE THROWN FORWARD OFF THE MOTORCYCLE (THOUGH I HAVE NOT BEEN THROWN OFF YET). THE MARCH 9 DATE INDICATES THE LATEST INCIDENT OF A MISSED SHIFT INTO 3RD GEAR. *JB
