I've been reading up in the meantime. I don't know anything about the gearing in a motorcycle...but by reading up the problem i'm getting could originate from "[color=rgb(34, 34, 34)]rounding the dogs on the gears". [/color][size=1em]This can be caused by bad shifting. I can imagine the previous owner doing tons of clutchless upshifts etc... and i did it on occasion. Though i haven't heard about this on this fazer forum or anywhere else about the fzs1000. [/size]
[size=1em]Think i'm just gonna keep riding it and avoid going full out in second. Guessing that if there's no metal pieces flying around in my oil...i'll still be able to do a ton of miles with it. At least that's what i hope[/size] :rollin .
I think you've got what is the fairly common 2nd gear fault on the early R1 motors suffered, which the FZS1000 is based on. It was/is a driving dog wear/damage can effect 6th too.
