Gear change problems

[olionel]

Hi;

Ive got a zxr400, had it about couple of months now, still getting to know her etc... (bike is used nearly everyday) the troubles started last week with it refusing to go in to neutral, it would sometimes but not al the time, and today it stopped engaging 2nd (well getting stuck in 1st rather) it does shift sometimes but not all the time. Ive found out it doesnt want to go in to neutral when the engine is running, but it will if I turn the ignition off... weird...

I had a silly off few weeks back and changed the gear pedal assembly, could it be related to that? or is it clutchy problems?

First check the change adjustment is right as it will make a big difference.

is that the linkage between the pedal and the actual lever on the engine?
