Shift shaft...

That's what I was thinking but just wasn't sure. Is it expensive.

Approxx 100 GBP+labour, but doesn't need split the case, enough take out the clutch...

Spot on.... Thanks very much 👍🏻

Yes the G3 shaft is easy to pull out once the clutch pack is out, there is only one circlip on the outside by the shift lever, the G1 & G2 also have a circlip on the inside which means you need to drop the sump. Try and find a 2010 shaft they are substantially stronger as the 08 often had issues like yours. Part number 13161-0073 as seen in this link

Yes mate slips right in, the 08 shaft would crack (like yours probably has) so kawasaki uprated it its the only change to the internals 08-10 and slips right in just the same as a 08 shaft.

Brilliant thank you 👍🏻

Ends up it was one of the 3 springs within the clutch. Clutch has been stripped and all 3 springs that select the gears when you change are getting replaced. Thanks for everyone's feed back on this.
