Greetings my fellow kwaki riders. I have recently bought a '95 model ZX6R with 43000 km's (27000 miles) and after spending an arm and a leg on replacement parts there is one more problem which I can't quite figure out.
When accelerating in first gear, there is a sudden jolt at about 4000 rpm at which point it feels like there has been a sudden increase in power causing the bike to be pushed forward hard. This can be a little unsettling, especially if the bike is leaned over around a corner. It doesn't always happen but sometimes I can hear a clunking noise as well when it happens. Is it a gearbox problem? How do I diagnose and fix this?
On a side note, if I want to fit an aftermarket exhaust on the bike will I need to get the carbs tuned or anything?
Thanks in advance
