YZF 600 2nd gear spins

Just aquired a thrashed 1997 YZF 600 (R?) with no fairings, only the windscreen so I'm not quite sure of the model. Here's the problem, second gear is gone, or unuseable anyway. All other gears work fine but when it is shifted into 2nd it won't engage, it sounds like it wants to but it won't, just growls. It only growls when I give it throttle, If I shift into 2nd and just coast it's fine (no noise). I'm planning on repairing the gearbox, I've heard this is a common problem with 2nd gear - a roll pin sheared off or something. This happen to anyone else? How much to fix?

Also, the front end from the tripple clamp to the tire has been swapped with one from an R6 and the speedo cable is missing. I can't see anywhere that the cacle would hookup to the front wheel assembly. Any Help?
