Default 2nd gear problem GSXR1100W

I own a gsxr1100w and the second gear under full load and over 5000 rpm tends to disengage momentarily and afterwards it engages again, but it is very annoying during the drive and I presume dangerous for the gearbox in general in case of a failure. This is the second engine I run on the same chassis and both had the same problem. Is this a common 1100 problem or I am just being unlucky? Is there a remedy? I still have the old engine.
