I don't know if that was intentional but it's pretty funny :D

So all in all, nothing too unexpected for the mileage :D Is skyline drive as lovely as it's said to be?

If you look at the official page you'll see your exhaust is sticking way out the rear, it should be kinda flush like this : . The way it's mounted now should rattle and looks fairly unsecure. To figure out why the fitting is so poor you have no choice but to remove the exhaust and find where the...

It worked. Thank you so much, I'll be back to lane splitting to work tomorrow rather than sitting in traffic. On the rear stand the wheel is perfectly still with the lever pulled in and first gear engaged (note: that Bihr aftermarket cable works perfectly in the end). I don't know how it didn't...

Cheers for the detailed explanations. I'll try right away and will post updates later.

The shaft rotation is only about 60 degrees, which doesn't change with the lower arm position (by lower arm you mean the slave lever, whatever the cable attaches to right?). If so I'm sorry but I don't quite get it :(

Confirmed. I forgot to mention that I had a certain stickiness to the clutch lever before, which I attributed to the cable failing condition. I had to push it forward by hand back to its resting position but the clutch itself didn't seem to be affected. Maybe it's related to today's ailments...

It makes sense and you seem resigned. Wish you all the best and who knows, you might end up on a small cc bike to putt around town. Those with good suspensions are tremendous fun. Air cooled engines need bigger tolerances to survive, thus they're less performing... Yet their rawness is full of...

Sorry if I wasn't clear, I did not touch the shaft itself. I only removed the engine-side slave lever to change its position on the threads atop the shaft, then reverted it back to normal after I saw no improvement. The shaft stayed put (although it has a little vertical play). I didn't remove...

I did remove it when trying to troubleshoot. I put it back on and the alignment points line up at rest. Thanks for the pic. It's fairly easy to push on and travels the full 13mm. The resistance seems to be coming only from the spring.

The cable isn't connected as of now, but I assume pushing the slave lever should do the exact same thing as pulling the clutch lever in right? I'm pushing by hand the slave lever all the way in and nothing visibly moves while looking through the oil fill plug. The arm is rotating as normal...

Well I kind of figured out the issue but I can't really find out how to fix it. What's happening is the clutch isn't disengaging, whether I'm pulling on the lever or pushing on the slave lever. With the bike on a rear stand and in first gear, the rear wheel will move and the speedo will read 6-7...

Seemed like a blast despite the soreness. I guess that's a trip you'll remember. You want to sell the FZ to get something else or are you quitting riding altogether?

I don't even know why I had put that thing back. After a good 10 minutes of struggle it's now out for good. The sleeve looks a tad longer on the new cable and after adjusting the central screw the core peaks out about the same on the old and new. What I don't get is the old cable had started to...

I'm thinking I'll just snake the cable out without pulling the aribox. I'm feeling lazy today.

It's not OEM but I laid it aside the one that was on the bike and everything seemed to match up well, and online reviews were stellar. I guess I shouldn't have played with the mid-cable adjuster before trying it on, but I recall only spreading apart the two nuts a few millimeters. Well I'll...

A good thing to keep in mind. I hope. If fired right up... And the new chain kit is coming in shortly. But I can't put on the clutch cable for the life of me. The sheath seems perfectly in place but the core is too short. I have to remove the lever to install the cable on both ends but the...

That's a nice word :D Happy birthday guys.

How did I not think of this... Anyway seems like mine clicked well (several clicks actually) and the rubber on top of the cap sits rather flush with the valve cover. Any tip to improve the seal? Yes I did. That's what the old plugs looked like: They had about 30k miles in them I estimate...

I hesitated... But the clip is so bent it'd give easy in case I'd need access. Which I could say... Just done with spark plugs. I'll put everything back together tomorrow and hopefully it'll fire right up. I'll post a picture of the plugs I took out later... They were burnt to a crisp.
