At first it wouldnt hold second gear and then it just got stuck in neutral
This bike and many of the 600 class lose 2nd gear and slip out on hard acceleration, then at easy acceleration as it wears more and eventually the kicking out of gear can bend a shift fork, the parts are not extremely expensive but the labor is going to be high because of a complete removal and teardown.
SOURCE: yzf r1 03 gear prob or?!
Sounds like bent shifting fork which is expensive. If you are not the 1st owner then you don't know how previous owner treated bike. Often sportbikes are rode hard and banged into 2nd gear which can eventually cause tranny problems like bent shifter fork. First look down by the shifter pedal and inspect that it is fastened securely to the shift rod coming out of the engine/trans case. There is a single bolt that holds the shift lever on a splined shaft and can come loose and cause problems.
If that is ok then find a local mechanic you trust....Good Luck !

The shift forks and synchronizers are going out. Time for a trans rebuild, or find another motor in good shape. Making sure the clutch is adjusted correctly will help a little bit also.
SOURCE: falls out of second gear and only second gear,
the yzf600r has a large gap between 1st and 2nd gear. if you don't shift into second firmly every time, what happens it that over time the dogs which engage 2nd gear gets worn/rounded off, and the "falling out" starts to occur during hard acceleration in 2nd. once the problem is there, the only way to fix it is to replace the affected gears: 2nd and 6th ( the gear 2nd slides in to), the shift fork, and the shift cam.
this requires a complete teardown and splitting the cases. about $3-400 in parts, depending on where you purchase them, and 8-12 hours labor depending on your level of expertise.
a qualified shop would charge $1500-2000.

Are you saying your motorcycle will not run unless the engine is NOT CHOKED?
That is how it is suppose to run. Choke only when needed in cold weather.
Perhaps I misunderstand your question?
