On sale for $5k. My Kawi ER6N transmission issues are pretty common and nobody has a permanent fix, seems to just be a recurring issue with these bikes. Is $5k a deal or...? https://xtremeofcambridge.com/Motorcycles-Suzuki-GSX-S750Z-2015-Cambridge-OH-c78ec4da-2e03-4723-ab15-aab0010bb8e8

Got it most of the way apart and needed to take the sprocket/chain off the output shaft of the motor. They hid one bolt on the "shifter cover" behind the sprocket. Hammered the keeper washer down and got a big ass socket on but couldn't keep the wheel from moving while I tried to loosen it. Was turning the motor over and chasing my 450lb bike around the garage while trying to keep it on the kickstand and loosen the nut. No bueno. If I had a stand and some more time I'd try and do it, but 10 minutes from me is a bike mechanic that's worked on me and my dad's bikes for 30 years. I'm just going to throw the bike in the truck and let him deal with it 😂 I'll let everyone know how it turns out and I'll show the mechanic the video @Gixxus Christ! posted and see what he thinks. Thanks everyone 👍

@Gixxus Christ! Very interesting.... When I get home from work tonight I'll check that out. Thanks for the research.

Levers are adjustable, but I rode the bike last week and it was fine. The clutch seems to operate normally for stopping in gear and downshifting. Yes just started. Saturday I thought I shortshifted the bike a couple of times but it must've been this issue. Other than one or two shifts Saturday it was fine. Sunday it just totally started failing to work. I just remembered last night that on one shift Saturday there was a grinding sound and the bike didn't go into gear. I guarantee whatever that was, it's causing this issue... maybe I'm not being deliberate enough with my shifts, but damn, I've been riding bikes since I was 8 and never had a shifting issue. I changed the oil and filter yesterday. Attempted to shift in my driveway with the bike rolling, but no luck. We have this old bike mechanic nearby who is great.. I'm taking it to him because I don't have time to mess with it 😑

Took the Kawi ER6N out today and to my 60mph surprise I couldn't upshift from 2-3. If I bumped the shift lever about 4 or 5 times very deliberately it would finally go. Seemed to especially not like it at higher RPMs.... Exactly where you normally upshift. Changing the oil and filter tonight. I'll ride it this week and report back. If you guys have any other ideas or if this is a known issue on these things let me know... I searched for a few minutes and mainly found it to be a problem with supersport, not this bike. Thanks 👍

Does anyone out there make paddock stands and bobbins specifically for an 09 Kawi ER6N? Looks like R&G does, but they're for 2012+ bikes and I didn't check if they shipped to North America.

@Tonik thanks a million for the deal on the suit. Smelled slightly odd but it was a hell of a deal. 😂👍

Next weekend should work. In my short time here it seems that OR is, quite literally, 'Nam.

Tonik, in real life:

Triple Nickel Diner is confirmed tasty. I'd talk about the views there too, but all you guys are old farts.

That'll work even better. 👍

Is this going to ruin my life? 😂 I'm in the construction industry... Lol 👍

I'll take it. PM me an email for PayPal?

Got any pics or model #?

Hey guys, I have a 2009 ER6N with Two Bros and Juice Box. I got the bike with a custom dyno tuned map and it ran somewhat poorly - zero power at all under 4,000RPM (bike would stumble on throttle below 4,000), bad throttle response, surging power. I located the manual for the Juice box which said position 2 was for my setup (stock everything except Two Bros slip on) and set it to that position. Everything about the way the engine ran improved. Much smoother throttle response, actually some had low RPM power, no surge. I know out of the box tunes are not always the greatest and I'd like to ensure the bike isn't running lean or anything like that. Is there a way I can confirm this without taking it to a dyno shop? Thanks
