steering damper isnt on saslex, and last time i checked that changes your turn charecteristics not how your rear wheel reacts under accleration in 2nd gear...

i have the full work shop manual and if it does come down to needing to dismantle it i will probably leave it up to the professionals.

Sytoms:
Selects gear fine, doesnt jump out. Feels as though the chain is 'jumping' under hard accleration in 2nd gear but is fine during commuting etc. The bike hasnt been raced but it was used mainly for track days by the previous owner. And im not exactly an 'old lady' rider, even if some will tell you otherwise

rofl, shoulda clicked. I think my suspension is stuffing up my lean angles - cant get to the edge of my tryes

i think its broke. i.e in need of mechanical repair.

Haha! Who knows dude, but changing over oil from Castrol to Motul aint gonna do crap if you have a fault occuring within the box i doubt. If you do change over oil or whatever just run Motul 5100 in it, semi synthetic is the way to go, dont ever throw fully synthetic at it.

i Doubt its selector forks, sounds more like a chunk outta 2nd gear itself, but in saying that maybe its not fully being engaged by fork, and has only taken a bit outta the side or something.

At the end of the day, all we can do is guess, untill you strip that bottom end off. Just hang her up and drop the sump off for starters to see whats kicking around down there, and progress...

Cheers KK, was thinking i might drop the bottom off and have a geez. Im off work and uni sick (until tuesday according to the doctor) so will have a good read up in the workshop manual and then have a go on sunday/monday.
