I bought myself a zxr250 a few weeks ago and after riding it round for a few days i noticed the clutch was slipping on some up changes and the 'box seemed to make a rough sounding clunk when shifting up or down.
I went in to Mt Eden MC's to see Ricky and after a test ride he suggested it was the clutch plates.
Now with new clutch plates and springs it is even worse :confused: . It doesn't slip but shifting can be quite rough when cold. When it's left over night the clutch will stick (in the morning or after work, first gear, clutch in, engine off and the bike won't move) and when stopped in first for the first 5 mins of riding it will feel like the clutch hasn't disengaged properly but a bit of a rev will free it up.
I've been back to Mt eden and they've made a few adjustments and assured me thats everything is as it should be.
Basically I want to know if this sounds normal? Perhaps I have just become accustomed to the silky smooth shift of my cbrs 'box... :p anyone else gone from a cbr to zxr found the 'box to feel a bit dodgy?
Sorry for crapping on and thanks for any help :2thumbsup
