Mine (2012) had similar symptoms. It only felt like that when I was riding it hard though. If I putted around gently it felt fine. I called Bob Carpenter about it because they had just put their 240 kit on it. He said it's pretty common for second gear to have issues on these bikes. I sent it back up to them and they pulled it apart and verified that was the issue. He recommended having second gear undercut -even better still, have them all undercut. So I did. Runs like a champ ever since. Shifts smooth as silk.
