Just to clarify the second gear issue. I'm checking out a Vmax on Sunday. From what it sounds like, I can just punch the accelerator hard through second and if it's bad it will just pop out at some time, correct?

Are there any remedies that can be a band-aid for this issue that would cover it up during a test ride? The last thing I want to do is buy a bike w/ issues. Guy swears it runs great, looks great, zero issues. Just sounds a little too good to be true, even though it's older (91 w/ 41k). He's only owned it for 4 mos.
 
Basically I usually run it hard through the first three to four gears. Rarely are there trans issues with 4th or 5th.

If it sounds too good to be true, it normally is.... Good Luck......

My 1993 has 38,500 miles and does not come out of gear but today it seems to make a clunk when i shift to first and get a little louder into second.
