gear changing
ive started to get an issue when changing gear, mostly when down a gear when just pushing the peg it moves all the way done as normal but does nothing i have to almost stamp on it hard a few times to get it to finally go down gearm, this is with the clutch pulled all the way in..... any thoughts? thanks

Re: gear changing
i would suggest looking at the obvious first ie your gear selector linkage, make sure the lever is clamped tight to the splined shaft and chaeck all linkages are as they should be, failing that could be worn selector forks?
Don't forget people there is more to the zxr400 than this forum... check out www.zxrworld.co.uk also.

Re: gear changing
if this is when stationary, its normal.. for pretty much any bike.

Re: gear changing
nope its when moving, will check as the chain was replaced recently so could be a case that things are just a bit lose

Re: gear changing
as a simple first step, check your clutch cable adjustment as well.
