I'm new to the forum and this issue may have been addressed previously. I bought a 2006 zx10r with 22k miles. I did some minor work to get it running again but my main issue is first gear.
First gear on my bike feels like it's slipping and it doesn't matter how much throttle is applied. The bike feels as if the clutch is applied then suddenly connects. I do not have this issue in any other gears, so i believe my clutch is okay. I thought it would be one of the transmission gears on either the input or output shafts. I pulled the engine and manipulated the sprocket while inspecting both shafts. No defect was visible.
I've read other posts stating the kickstand sensor can give similar problems similar to what I am having. My next course of action is to loop the sensor and try it out again in warmer weather.
I have no idea what would cause the could be now. If the kickstand is not it I guess I will try the clutch.
Has anyone had similar problems? What was your fix?
Thank you in advance.
