I currently have about 280 miles on the Z. I have noticed every now and then, I will have trouble downshifting from 4th gear. I will engage the clutch and press down on the shift lever. I can feel the shift lever go down but it did not actually shift down. I will then have to press down 6 or 7 more times before the shifting actually engages.
I am trying to follow the manual's break in advice (go under 4K RPM), giving me a top speed of 29MPH in 4th position. In the instances that I have had trouble, I was going about this speed.
I have taken the bike to the dealer but they only checked the outside and said there is nothing wrong with the bike. They said if I am going 29MPH, the bike is going to have trouble down shifting and that this is normal.
I don't buy that at all and was wondering if anyone here would have insight into the problem.
