has anybody who rides a zx7r had any complaints with the 'box? for some reason 4th gear decided it wanted to throw in the towel on me. after 3 weeks waiting for the gears from japan and a clymers manual as my bible all is well... apart from some minor seepage and a few little vibrations. but i did save myself alot of money in labour costs =).

Given enough hammer, or a sufficient sprinkling of random manufacturing defects back at the foundry, any bike's gearbox will spit something out the side.
If a particular model has a design flaw in the gearbox, it'll develop a reputation for it by the time bikes start reaching 10-15,000km, max. That didn't happen with the ZX7...

well very coincedentally, the bike is a '97 and it had only done 12000 when i bought it and it crapped itself at about 16000. im always the unlucky one =(. it was the next step up from my rgv 250 at the time, i was too scared to get up it for the rent.

Not aware of any 4th gear stuff, you can root the 1st to 2nd to 3rd doing ham fisted monos
If you have already fixed it, what did you find ?

kwaka boxes have a fairly good reputation AFAIK...

no trouble yet tho, but its awful clunky
