I had something similar, so I adjusted the clutch cable and made it so it 'pulled the clutch in more' sorry don't know how else to word it and that fixed it for me, have a play/look at that first id say. ____________________ Malaguti F12 Phantom-Dead, Suzuki AY50- Dead, NRG power DD LQ, CBR125.

Hi
ZZR600 always has a reputation for a clunky gear change (and the normal thing to blame when that gets worse is worn cush drive rubbers), but not sure that what you are describing sound like clunks. the grinding sounds more like it isn't going into gear immediatly.
Might be worth lubing the gear change linkage and adjusting the lever down a touch (to get you to move the lever more).
All the best

check your chain is adjusted properly also as this many seem to have experienced these problems more frequently when the chain is needing adjusted (including myself).
I'd also second keith's recomendation to removed the footpeg and lube the shifter. |

Mine is exactly the same. Its worse when its cold, but it still lurches a bit even when hot. I have found that the gear change gets very clunky through the gears if the chain is not kept properly tensioned at all times. It will help to do as the others have said, and get everything cleaned (i use paraffin) in the drive train, then give everything a good lube with fresh grease and/or oil. I really wouldnt be worrying about it to be honest. it seems to be one of the 'features' of the ZZR's. Best to just try and live with it.
Just for the record, a friend bought a brand new one in 1996 and gave me a go on it with just 800 miles on the clock.......it lurched when it went into first from neutral!!! ____________________ Current......Kawasaki ZZR1200 C2H and Kawasaki ZZR600 E7

Okay I have indeed sourced the problem (sorta) Adjusting the clutch cable so it pulls on the lever (even when not in use) sorts it. The bite point is quite far out though and theres no play in the lever once you let go. The cable is taught all the time at the moment.
Changes gear beautifully now though... And no slippage. Just my fucking bite point is out a fair bit. Possible clutch plates need changing?
Like I said though, no slippage thus far... ____________________ KAWASAKIIIII |

EBC are supposed to be very good. It's KYOTO you gotta avoid! Never again! they used to get hot, and expand/contract and fook up the adjustment at the lever.
Mine doesn't do any of that you see. Maybe it was just the freeplay in the lever after all. I shall check it soon. cheers. ____________________ KAWASAKIIIII |
