Default my1996 kawasaki z1 1100cc seems to be slipping

HI ALL i took it out last weekend 1st all my gauges stoped working un less i pushed the trim down. Then after running real well i hit the throttle & it wouldnt go, it would go if i started slow & gradually added gas. I noticed a lotb of vibration when i tried to start fast. Any help would be appreciated thanks charlie

Unhappy Mine is doing the exact same thing.

I have a 2006 Kawasaki 1500. Just got it out of the shop yesterday for a summer tune up. Rode it about an hour. Stopped for a little bit and when I went to take off it was like the empeller was cavitating. When I gas it, it just wont go. I thought perhaps the empeller tube was plugged so I jumped in and tried to clean it. There was nothing in it. After I got home and it got dark I got a flashlight and shined inside the tube and there is nothin in it. I could see the empeller clearly and it looks fine. But like you said in this post it is like a clutch is slipping. It will rev up, but it just vibrates and barely moves.
