Same here.... Even when I downshift slowing at a light...not sure if I got all the way down to first...have to look for the quick blink of the neutral light or count

From everything I read on the 03 ZX6R the only flaw is getting it into N. With the kawasaki positive netural finder its not as easy.

We're just spoiled because all bikes other than kawasaki positive netural finder bike have this problem. You just have to get used to it. As soon as you do you will not have any problems.

What about taking out the ball bearings is that the cause of the notchyness...I have owned suzuki's for the past couple of years and the trannys are like silk....This damn thing hangs up like the clutches are dragging...I think I am going to take the clutch sysyem apart and check it out really well.........

Yeah I agree. I had 2001 GSX-R 600 and the transmission was flawless.

I have the same problem. Sometimes sittng still I have to let the clutch engage slightly in 2nd and the go down to find neutral. But slowing for a stop I have no problems.

Normally you cant get into neutral while moving with ZX6R's. I had a 2001 that was the same way. You cant shift into neutral while coming to a stop. You have to wait till you are stopped then you can easily shift into neutral. There is a reason for that. That way you dont pull any neutrals while upshifting from 1st to 2nd. I had a 01 f4i and an 01 929 and they didnt have problems shifting into neutral while rolling to a stop but would sometimes hit neutral while shifting from 1st to 2nd. WOuld worry about taking anything apart..



im sorry officer i guess i didnt see you..

I am only talking about the problem while the bike is stopped...I only use the bike for drag racing the bike only has 36 miles on it and about 20 of them are from testing on the street and Dynoing the bike...

Its just how their made all my zx6's have always done that. Just get used to it

With great freedom, comes great responsibility.

I found that I had to let each gear engage while downshifting. Are you guys just downshifting a few gears all at once without letting out the clutch?

 

[03sixxerBlack]

I dont have problems with shifting into neutral. never have. works perfectly when at a stop. The kawasaki gearbox is the best in the class.

im sorry officer i guess i didnt see you..

I used to have the problem with having to engage 2nd before I could shift down into first too, until I installed a Scotts oil filter. Also seems to make to shift into neutral easier.

Step 1-Twist handle
Step 2-Hold on!

an oil filter????

I got synthetic in mine and it still has the same problem...

I don't have a problem with it at all upshifting. All I do is just give it a slight tap and I'm in nutural. It will even do it when I'm excelerating hard in first. I can't do it all the time while down shifting though.

You don't have to be faster then the bear, just faster then your friend.

 

[SpecialK]

Mine has the same problem... sometime it just wont find Neutral ... i'll have to roll it forward a bit and shift it in first then sometimes it will get neutral kinda a pain at lights and stuff

i have noticed that i never have a problem as long as I shift into first before I come to a complete stop.

Maybe its just the ZX6R, ZX6RR seems to be good.

I too have the same problem. I think for me it mostly due to being a new bike. I found that using some finesse and lightly shifting a half shift while in first or second is key.
