| I have a 1993 kawasaki zx-11, vin # jkazxbc14pb508404, with a 6 speed transmission and 27,824 miles on bike. i have a problem with 2nd gear, especially at slower speed and under acceleration. i can be going anywhere from 15 to 45 mph and when i accelerate the bike sputters and kicks. i had it to a dealer and they changed the sprockets and chains thinking that was the problem, but it did not fix it. it is dangerous when exiting a turn since you never know if the gear will catch. i've had a few instances when it finally catches it almost took me off the road. this is also a problem when trying to get on the gas to get away from a car, the bike can pop out of gear or the gear could skip, allowing you to be injured or killed. i also will not take a passenger now since they could be tossed off when the gear slips. i have read of other zx-11's having this problem in the past, but i've only had this bike for about 2 years and it's gotten progressively worse. *nm | |||
