Ziggy Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 I've been looking for a bike for a couple of months now, just trying to find silly deals out there, and came across what (on the surface) looks to be a pretty good deal on a 1990 ZX11. My question has to do with the trans. The ad states the bike doesn't go into second gear, just into neutral when shifting from first. I saw another ad for an older ZX6 that indicated a similar problem. How big of a deal is it to replace second gear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy Posted February 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 That's kinda what I figured. When you start to see more than one of anything with a common issue that has never been fixed, there is usually a reason... Bummer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpoppa Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 I know the ZX6E had an issue with 2nd gear. Lot's of dealer hours to split the cases by the book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox_racing_guy Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 It could be a bent shift fork as well and I have replaced these on a ZRX (identical bottom end as a ZX-11) with the the motor in the frame. For any other ZRX owners the tranny from a ZX-11D is a direct "drop in" if you would like a 6 speed rather than 5. ZX-11 cams are drop ins as well for the ZRX1100 or ZZR cams in the 1200 and good for another 10-12 HP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing it in a chassis is harder work than jut pulling it and working on it upside down... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
