bought my baby last sunday and basically she has a few problems but not many but i think there mostly kawasaki problems like gears 1 and 2 being a bitch! sometimes neutral can be a pain to get into when still. when the bike is ticking over a strange but consitant noise from the right hand side (doesn't sound serious), bulg in the back tire and its brand new what a bloody drama, and thats it really anyone else have the same kind of clutch/gearbox problems? thanks alot guys o yeh also when im braking over 50mph the front end shakes but this is my brake disks so need some new one's any idea where i can get some reasonably priced good standard one's? ill get some pics up soon!

Has the bike been standing for a while? Theres a mechanism to stop you selecting 2nd when you want neutral, ive heard of it sticking before. Get some miles on it and see if it loosens up. Id also check if your clutch cable is adjusted properly.

Noise from the right, what does it sound like?

Bulge, obvious, get a new one :)

Vibration from front under braking sounds very much like warped brake disks, might want to check head bearings are adjusted too. Theres nice aftermarket ones out there, but if you want standard fitments id say give our member 'falloffslowly' a ring, he breaks ZXR's :)
