i have the same bike try this. Firstly check the fuel is fairly fresh, using premium fuel on this model seems to work well. drain a little fuel from each carb to remove poss water build up and get fresh fuel. if spark plugs over 6 months old or over 5000 miles change as zxrs` eat plugs a spark does not mean it is allways good. i have changed to irridium plugs and have not had problems since . before you take out plugs turn over the engine a few times then when you remove each plug they should be wet ,if one is dry no fuel so clean carb,remove plug caps before you do this and note exact location of each.good luck Bri.

hi,this might help,without looking at the bike it sounds like either the kickstand switch or the clutch lockout switch has failed,either switch failing will cause the problem you describe as they are both linked in the wiring harness..hope this helps...cheers ian

    • the easiest way to make sure your bike sidestand switch is functioning is to start the bike and run it with the sidestand up. Then disengage the clutch and put it in 1st gear. Now put the side stnd down. the bike should still be running. Now slowly engage the clutch, bike should not move very far.

Thats the way it is designed to start, there are safety interlocks that keep it from starting if those conditions are not met.
