clutch

Hi all, New face here. My clutch switch has recently given up, so I bought a new one. Hah, if only it were so simple... it turns out that the screw holding the dead one in was held fast by loctite or similar. The upshot of this is that the screw head twisted off, and then the exposed...

Hi everyone im izzy i have bought a 2007 fz6 with 32,000 miles on it and it was running great and then it would not shift out of first gear.Once i shifted it out of first gear the clutch wouldnt engage. So i got it home and the bike would try to start in first gear but it was like the clutch...

I've noticed that my clutch lever is REALLY stiff. Just lubed it up today and will see how it performs on the next ride. Do you find that the clutch pull on the FZ6 is pretty stiff?

Bad idle sound Yesterday I pulled in my clutch at about 10 mph and heard a 'snap' sound. Thankfully I was already at home so I didn't have to ride it any further, but now my idle sounds terrible (see video). The past few days I've been trying to get the front wheel up, so my guess is that it's...

Hello everyone, So yesterday I had a bit of an embarrassing episode. I figured I would brave the new ice on the roads on my bike to get to class however I ended up going down at aprox 6mph on a icy patch. Mostly just lost pride, however in the process my clutch handle broke off so I had to get...

HI guys and gals, A few weeks ago I had trouble with my clutch slipping, after reading a few posts I found how to adjust the bottom end of the FZS600 clutch and went ahead and loosened the lock nut and used a screw driver on the middle bit. I turned clockwise until I felt resistance then...

My clutch lever broke off in an accident and I'm looking for a new one, preferably silver like the stock one. Thanks

Hey everyone, I've had an 04 FZ6 for 3 years, and replaced the clutch cable when I bought it. The cable frequently loosens bit by bit with time, and I need to adjust it every few weeks or so. Very often while easing out the clutch and rolling on the throttle, the bike feels like it jerks or...

Clutch Issue - Stuck Plate? Hi guys! I know you're sick of hearing from me and all, but here I am again with yet another question! Observation: When I park the bike in gear and go to move it later, if I pull the clutch in I am forced to pull the bike backwards and push it forwards with some...

Me again, slipping clutch. (solved) I didn't have a service history for my 1998 FZS600 Fazer so when I got her with 24,081 miles on the clock I changed the oil and filter, I had a few battery problems but by yesterday I had her running so I was straight out for a ride. At first I didn't...

Heya folks! I've been keeping up with regular maintenance on the bike as best I can, and every time the clutch starts to get a bit harder to pull I go about and add some oil (10W40) which seems to fix the problem - although the oil never seems to stay for very long. I noticed yesterday that it...

A few days I went through the bike tightening any loose bolts/nuts. The clutch lever was really loose so I tightened it. It operated fine for about 50 miles then it started jamming. I was having to physically push the lever out to re-engage the clutch. Luckily this happened only a few minutes...

Hi Guys My 2007 FZ6 with 9,000 miles has a slight knocking sound coming from the engine when it's warm. It does it with the clutch in and out, and while in and out of gear. The noise is barely noticeable when the engine is cold, and it gets more pronounced as the engine temperature increases...

Heya folks! Been trying to get my stupid PC3 working properly (I can't seem to get any discernible changes when loading maps, despite having the O2 sensor gone and unplugging the battery for a time between changing the map) and in the midst of doing that, went out on a test ride. I know our...

I've been having some issues with what I believe to be the kickstand switch or the clutch sensor switch. Bike would not fire unless it's in neutral, and as soon as I put it into gear it would die even with clutch pulled in. That's been happening for a month. It will normally let me go after a...

How are Pazzo esque levers in comparison to the stock ones? Between the heavy clutch pull having all the bite at the end of the lever, I always feel like I'm blundering my shifts. I've lubed the cable properly and it helped a bit, but due to the nature of where my fingers have to extend to in...

I feel like I have a wierd shifting technique, although it feels quite natural while I do it. I pretty much always do clutch upshifting with no clutch downshifting. The clutch engaged upshifting I feel I do because of the lack of torque I like to rev the gas alot and at higher rpms it is...

I bought this 07 fz6 the other day, it needed it few updates and mods. I was excited to jump in and start working on her. The only problem I have now is where I mount my left mirror. The clutch lever was pre threaded for the mirror but the brake was not. There is no room to bar mount as the...
