clutch

Hi everyone, I recently bought a 2005 Yamaha fz6 and am overall happy with the bike. I noticed the other day when I was in the highway that I couldn’t get it to go into 6th gear. It had the feel of if you were to try to downshift from first. Tried to pull the shift up when in 5th and it was...

Hello everyone, First Time posting here as this is the first time having such trouble working on my cars/bikes. I'm really desperate and helping me fix this would be greatly appreciated. I just picked up a 2007 FZ6 and needed to do a clutch job on it. Everything went fine until it came time...

Hi All, Running into an issue lately. Tried installing the killernoodle mod (actually its the FZ07 clutch slave lever) and for some reason I can't get the clutch to disengage. Currently the bike is on its center stands. I have the clutch lever and mid adjustment screwed all the way in (mid...

When I pickup my bike for the 2019 season kick off with a few larger repairs: Last year when I installed fresh clutch plates, not because anything was wrong but because I got them cheap and had nearly 80.000km on the clock I noticed quite a lot of slack in the little chain behind/below the...

Hello guys I'm going to replace my clutch soon. And I saw this EBC clutch kits that are supposed to be good. I already have EBC rotors and breakpads and they work great. I was wondering if you guys have tried them or have an opinion on them. Also if you guys rather have OEM or EBC kit...

Hi All, So I've had my FZ6 for close to 3 years now. One thing I have still been unable to do is shift smoothly with a passenger on back. Especially going from 1st-2nd I just expect a wack in the back of the head. I know that the clutch grab point on these bikes is in a terrible spot, but when...

Hello all, Today while i was swapping Fz7 clutch slave lever, i came across a loose clutch cable. Checked the slave lever spring and cable freeplay but it seems like there should be an other tension directly coming from clutch basket via clutch release shaft that the slave lever is connected...

New clutch - Not enough spring-action... SOLVED! Installed a new clutch (a set with compression springs, friction plates and clutch plates). The whole operation was quite easy except refitting the clutch cover onto the pull rod. I followed the steps of the "2004 Service Manual" (around page...

$120 shipped to lower 48, includes a clutch cover gasket. P/N SRK51 Brand spanking new. Bike that was going to get it blew up before I could mount it, although I had already thrown the friction plates in some oil to soak. Includes friction plates, clutch plates, springs. According to EBC, it's...

I recently bought an 05 fz6 which was converted to naked by the previous owner using the VS-02 kit sold by dev_usc. Love the look of the bike, only thing I'm not in love with is the mirror setup. It appears the p/o got some R6 mirrors and attached them to the bars with an aftermarket clamp...

Replaced my brake (yay easy) and levers however when I loosened the clutch cable at the rear of the end of the cable, I am now unable to reattach it to the clip? Tried maneuvering best I could but no luck and didn't want to pull too tight. Any ideas? I've attached a picture if that helps...

Hey all, I need experts. Sometimes (hard to repeat), when I'm accelerating hard in 2nd gear, there is an abrupt stop/start to power delivery that lasts less than half a second. The engine tone doesn't change much, so it seems like it has to be something in the transmission. How bad a thing am...

I have noticed after about 500 miles on my 07 FZ6 that downshifting all the way to 1st as I roll up to a stop is starting to fail, and I am having to go back up and down to find first. This was not a problem until recently. Is this a clutch adjustment issue? I have plenty of clean fluids and...

Hi all, im new in this forum & need advices from all you guys for your experiences in the Fazer 6S2. my bike has done about 100K kilometers now. Its regarding my engine having clucky noise wen changing to all gears. The other issue is that while the bike is moving in any gear,wif my...

Hi All Well on the weekend while doing a oil/filter change i decided it was also time to put some fresh new clutch plates in. (My baby has 135,000km up and most of them have been hard on the clutch) So i tracked down a good deal on a EBC Street Racer Kevlar friction plates and heavy duty...

Here's a tip to anyone who never bought a killernoodle modded clutch slave arm and doesn't want to make their own. The FZ-07 arm is exactly 10mm longer than the FZ6 arm and works perfectly as a direct replacement. Easier pull, extended friction zone, cheap, and looks like it belongs there. The...

I know these things aren't supposed to last forever, but I haven't seen much about clutches on these forums. If you have replaced your clutch parts, or even just deglazed them, I'd find it helpful to know how many miles in. I'm getting a little clutch slippage sometimes on my 2004 with 38,000...

Hoping for sun as (for work) I can be of a fair-weather rider... get to exercise the new clutch and show off my new front/rear turnsignals (thanks Ohendo and FinalImpact!)

Is it just a fz6 thing that the clutch engages at the very end. I would prefer it being in the middle any way to change it?

I replaced the motor in my 2004 fz6n. thought some may benefit from what I learned. Thanks to Scott for his help. The original motor had a bad knock when I bought it, got it very cheap. Turned out the camshaft had a slight wobble and the gear driving the clutch got very tight every 360 degrees...
