Hi,

I just purchased a new zx6r and i am still in the break in process, but my question is. When I am in neutral at a stop and shift into first gear, it won't go in. I would have to rock the bike back and forth a little to get it to go in. I would say about 50% of the time. Is this normal for the break in process? and should it get better with miles and time? Or should i be worried and have it checked out? Thanks.

I don't have to do that with my bikes, but I have heard it being normal for some others. typically you shouldn't ever be in neutral unless you are just warming the bike up. when you come to a stop you should be downshifting all the way to 1 so you don't have to worry about rocking the bike to get it in gear.

This is not uncommon. rocking helps, or just giving it some gas with the clutch while puting it down into first works
