Answer
Hi Mike,

I suspect a shift linkage component may be improperly aligned when the left hand case cover was installed.

I doubt that it's anythng serious. You may need to replace a gasket and spend time investigating the problem via disassembly.

If necessary, use Bike Bandit and Kawasaki's parts microfiche to view parts.
