05 ZX6R popping out of second
Hey there ppl,
on the way into work this morning, 2nd gear started popping out into neutral @ 10k rpm.
It does not matter whether I am accelerating hard or slowly as soon as it hits 10k out it pops. It Goes into second fine and all other gears appear to be operating as normal. Any suggestions ? ? ?
My bike only has 13k km on it and just got serviced last week.

Yeh get it into the shop and get them to test ride it quick my 04 has been fine but i dont pop wheelies and always use the clutch but do do trackdays.
I am pretty particuler about shut down revs pull in clutch change wait for it and then relaese clutch but i know some people recon its ok to ride them like its a 125 chookchaser no disrespect intended.
Once again i say search kawiforums if its a 6r and you can get a idea of what might be going on but i would get a mechanic at a dealers to ride it and make them aware there is a problem and admit yes infact it does do this before changing the oil and cutting up the filter looking for a problem.

If I rode my bike at the speed of light, what would happen when I switched on its headlights?

That really sucks mate. I've been through gearbox problems with my old 9, so I know what a horrible feeling it is when it happens, but at least yours is covered under warranty.
The only plus I had was that a mate was going overseas and let me use his ZZR1200 while the 9 was off the road...I didn't get withdrawls too badly, but I bet you do

anyway it will be covered under warranty.... again great service from the team @ canberra motorcycle centre.
4-7 weeks !!



will be interesting to see what they find......geez, that is some bad luck mate, just as well you got that warranty coverage.....
I guess Friday arvo won't be required now ??

That's a pisser Swabio. At least it happened under warranty.

I think that if fixing your bike is such a low priority for them, or parts supply is so poor, then it is only reasonable for you to expect them to extend your warranty for 4-7 weeks too. A loan bike at their expense wouldn't hurt either......
