Thanks for the tip Ryan. I’ve started to preload the gear shifter pedal before pulling the clutch, it makes a difference but sometimes (quite often) it slips from 1st to 2nd gear. The moment I apply pressure on it, if I’m at low revs (5-6k) it slips in the gear with no clutch whatsoever. What...
Hi guys,
I kept practicing and I found out there are times where I can change 1st-2nd without any clunk.
I believe it’s just a matter of practice, I’ll focus on smooth shifting for a while and I’ll find that sweet spot eventually. Thank you for your help. Ride safe!
I adjusted the clutch lever a while ago to have the friction zone where I wanted it to be. I’ll check on it again, see if I can see any changes. Thank you.
Another thing I’ve noticed is right after I completely release the clutch, for a fraction of seconds sometimes I can shift gears, up or down, without to pull the clutch, it’s like the clutch is slipping. Would you think this could be because of the cable ?
Yes, that’s the sound I’m trying to describe. The sound you hear when switching from neutral to first gear, that clunk; but from 1st to 2nd could be louder. I tend to believe I’m not granny shifting, or maybe I don’t know what’s the momentum and speed of that but from 2nd gear on everything is...
Hello guys,
Been riding my FZ6 S2 for a while now, I started to get used with what she wants and how to ride it smoothly, love it.
At the moment gear shifting got my attention and I started practicing till I reach the best version of it.
However, when I go from the 1st gear to 2nd I can't seem...
Hi guys,
I changed the rectifier, it seems she’s more stable now, I hope I won’t find myself in the situation with a flat battery. I’ll keep an eye on her.
However, there’s something I don’t understand about the fuel tank.
The fz6 s2 should have a tank capacity of 19 litres, is that right ...
Thank you, Gary! I’ll reassemble it and see how it is.
Can I clean the stator, rotor, gasket, cover with that spray? Would it be affected if it’ll be dry with no more engine oil before I start the bike?
I've done it
I feel a little clumsy as it’s the first time I got my head around a multimeter and how to measure electrical circuits, I hope I did it correctly.
Last 2 tests were above 80, the first one 66, I may have not rev it to exact same rpm. And I said it’s 0.3 because when I touched the pos/neg ends of multimeter it shown 0.6, then I just subtracted that from 0.9.
Alright guys, I managed to do the stator resistance, output, and rectifier test. I hope I did not miss something and I did it correctly. I found some info about stator output which should be ~18V per 1k RPM, 2k would be 36V and so on.
However, my main concern is that fluctuation, and the idle...
Hi guys,
Today I got the new battery installed. This is what it looks like :
Do you think it could've been just the battery ?
Do you think the considerable high volt fluctuation after I started the bike is normal ?
Should I take the bike to a shop to have it thoroughly tested ?
Thank you a...
