Hi all, My FZ6S cluth seems very tight to pull and free's up a bit when I lubricate it but always gets tight again in a week or two. Has Anyone had this problem ?
I was once told by my local yamaha garage its a common thing with the FZ6S, due to the way the cable is routed it causes friction and the inner cable expands, they said it was a design fault and if not lubed frequently you will be replacing them often. My FZ6N doesn't seem to be as bad as my old S and i haven't lubed it once in over 10k miles. I tend to just replace the cable once a year
Then again my throttle cables also are acting up and my throttle requires death grip to turn it
The only thing odd about the FZ clutch cable is at the lower end, just above the engine. Where it loops across, is somewhat low and lube tends to collect there. Pressure lubing also tends to loose a bunch at the mid-adjuster junction.
As you can see from my owners manual, chain lube or oil is recommended (maintainance) every 4,000 miles.
Going 10,000 miles, your clutch/throttle will be considerably harder and will wear (as you know) considerably faster..
you don't need to tell me twice :BLAA:
I need to replace both throttle and clutch cable ready for the summer, the clutch i can do easily don't know if to tackle the throttle one either after reading some threads on here. might get mech to save me the hassle.
im glad some one has faith in me lol, But its worth a shot, gonna order the parts and have a look. getting tired of hand cramps after a longer or spirited ride
yea i have had the throttle housing on the bars apart before to install my hand guards, the acerbis ones that mount where the bar end should be.
I will just follow the route, the only thing i worry is the adjusting part at the end with the cables down by the TB's
Mine deffo needs cleaning under the grip to.
+++ SIDE NOTE +++
I over did the fixing for the acerbid hand guard on the throttle side and this expanded my bars on the throttle side a tad, had to strip the grip and sand and file down the bar for a better fit so there will always be a tiny bit of drag on the grip, what oil do you recommend for under the throttle tube?
Sorry for long ass message
