    Just started having trouble with changing gear on the ZX-9R today. Can't get it in first straight away. Need to repeatedly mess with it for it to drop in.

    When riding, when I put it into second it'll be fine, put it into 3rd.. fine. Won't under any circumstances go into 4th or higher. Issue getting into first again.

    I'm effectively riding with only 2nd and 3rd gear at the moment :(

    Starting to get annoyed with the bike now. *starts a little chadz style tantrum*

    haha. I hate it when things go wrong, always puts a downer on things when the bike aint perfect. Hope you get it sorted mate.

    Bike's getting booked in this morning. I've too much to do at work etc. Bike now doesn't even want to turn over. Had to get recovered this morning lol

    Gonna get it in/sorted and take the fucking hit on it. Looks like the sat nav is going on hold :(

    I'm glad this has happened now and not later though.

    Bike is being collected shortly. It's going to Orrell Park Motorcycles. They're gonna have a look at it for me, diagnose the problem etc.

    If it's a case of getting a full engine rebuild, then I'm out of Le Mans this year :(

    It will be cheaper getting a new engine off of eBay mate!

    Did you change the oil? Always useful as you will see any clutch material or shards of metal in the oil as it comes out.
