pedal stroke dead zone

So I just started actual training, focusing on mostly on my aerobic system right now. I threw in some single leg drills last night just to see how much work my pedal stroke needed. I noticed that my dead zone is at about 11 o'clock. I have a few questions.
1) Is this the typical spot for a dead zone?
2) Is the dead zone occurring because I'm not engaging the muscles on the back of my thigh as I come up and around?
3) As I keep working at it, is my goal to not have a zone?
Thanks for any help.
