Hi
I a have a ZX10 Ninja fitted with a ZZR1100 engine (c series). the poblem is it does not select 5th gear all the time and also jumps out of 5th gear. I have stripped the gearbox down and found that the dogs are not meshing sufficientlly on 5th gear. naturally they have been rounded off slightly. 6th gear locates properly. I have been told to shim the box to obtain better contact but believe this will only move the problem but not really fix the problem. Has anyone out there made a simple repair?
As I have a full engineering workshop I can make modifications to either the gear dogs or the drum throw/travel to make the dogs engage properly.
Looking forward to hear form someone if I don't I will just have to do it myway.
Best Regards

PS This is my 1st Japanese Bike,
I have plenty of experience at fixing old pommie bike gearboxes but have never seen anything as bad as the engagements of this gearbox
