Default Used bike with 2nd gear problems
I just bought a 93 katana 600 on e-bay last night. It will be my "first bike." I have experience riding enduros on and off road about 7-10 years ago, but only on the back roads of Indiana.

However I will be riding this one in and around Memphis, TN. Haven't had a chance to ride the bike yet, but the owner said the bike's second gear is messed up and that if you're in it, when the bike gets to a certain rpm, it slips into neutral. I am concerned that riding without second gear will cause a lot of problems...Any suggestions?
