Gear kickback

Morning all,

Just want to run this past you all if I may. I've had my 2010 ZZR1400 for a while now. It's got 33k on the clock. Impeccable service history and has been really well looked after. Most of it's miles have been spent touring round France and Spain.

One thing I've notice is every now and then I get a kick back feeling on the gear selector. It happens more when I'm going for it.

It goes into gear absolutely fine and for the most part it's smooth as anything but like I say now and again I get a very noticeable tap on my foot. Only happens when going up through the gears.

Chain tension is spot on. The engine is smooth as anything. It's hydraulic clutch but that look OK.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers all

Gaz

Worn selectors maybe?

Hey everyone, tech troubles can be such a drag, and I feel your pain. Sometimes you just need a break to reset, and I found that checking out https://mostbet-bangladesh.bet/en/app/ can be a fun way to kill some time — it’s a popular site with sports betting, casino games, and quick payments.

How are the chain and sprockets for wear and tension? It's happening under power, not deceleration which makes me wonder if the front sprocket is a bit hooked.

How's the cush drive bearing? They often shit themselves at about 30k miles. You can't tell without taking the wheel out. Worth a check.

Thank you stinkwheel, Sorry it's take a while to get back to you.

Chain is in good condition and is setup stop on. Good point about the cush drive rubbers though. I'll check them out.

Back sprocket was fitted new just before I got the bike bit I don't know about the front one. I presumed they'd both be done together but maybe now.

Is this the point where I find out the front sprocket has been welded to the shaft. lol..

Really do appreciated your input.
