sounds like either a clutch spring problem?...OR a dog bone between 1-2nd gear which really takes some abuse if your not shifting the bike good.
get it check by a pro...is my honest suggestion.

If this is the case....try playing with the lever position to get it in a more comfy spot to crank that puppy up into gear. The Yami's have rough trannies to begin with.Michael said:not to sound too obvious, but have you tried shifting it up/down a bit harder? if you are all nice about it, it has a habit of popping into neutral.
I would hate to see you spend any cash on it when it's just a case of pussyfootitis (i think that's what i heard it called on SBN)
Good luck either way.
Yep, my VMax requires shifting like you mean it.Crazy said:

Hmmmm.... how many tiems did I do that yesterday. I reversed my shift pattern to help solve this problem mainly in the higher gears, but I actaully do it mroe often now from 1st to 2nd. My technique sucks, I know it, I miss shifts all the time. Join the club.Doc said:When you say hard acceleration are you talking running it up to 11,000-14,000 rpms? If this is when you are having problems getting it into second, then it might be your shifting technique. I've been there and I know what you mean.
