Is it possible that your clutch is slipping? What motor oil do you use? Ed

If you're lucky it might be your shift drum linkage spring is broken. Is there a cover behind the counter shaft sprocket? You may be able to inspect it there. Remove the clutch/drive chain cover to see. Pics will be helpful too.

You need a good one. Maybe someone here will give you a link to the part we're talking about.

A broken shift spring will do that.

This is the shifting arm and spring on a Z1. They are similar on all models. The little spring on the selector forks might be broken or off and the return spring may be broken as I mentioned before.
