The belt could be a big possibility, there may be a small part of the belt missing on one of the sides.

Did you inspect the belt? My friend who bought my old ZR put a hour glass figure in the belt when he forgot to take off the e-brake and that would do the same thing your talking about, fine at low speeds but under throttle it would feel like track racheting, we put a new belt on it and it went away. When you inspect the belt check to see where it sits on the secondary.JM2CENTS

I almost feel stupid posting this...but this identical thing happened to me....I ended up loosing a front Susp mounting bolt. Somehow the lock nut backed it self off and I lost the bolt completely (I don't know how I didnt notice, but I didnt.... bang your head )

Check your secondary clutch, my buddy just had it were the clutch sheaths warped.

I have to add, this happened to me. Last year I put an 1.375 on my zr 600, started ratchetin. Keept tightenin track, till it was too tight. Knew that was wrong, thought it may just have been too much traction for the sled, put anti ratchet drivers on. Heres where it gets interesting. Ended up stabbing the track runners through track with anti ratchets on. Damn near put buddy in hospital that was riding it. Anyway, took back apart, for another track installment. I should say that we were having troubles getting the drivers to go on and off the drive shaft to start with. Got to investigating a little and the driveshaft just didn't seem right, layed on a straight and thought it was a little off. Took it to a welding shop to have them check to see if it was square. Ended up being tweeked 1/16 of an inch. They straightened it and no problems since. Also sled has never been wrecked, so not sure if this could have been a factor defect or what, just something to check.
