Hi guys,
This has been bugging me for a while, have not been able to find anything through google and am unfortunately very non-technical so I hope you guys can help me out.
I had an accident om my '09 FZ6 about 3 months ago now (went down on the freeway but that's a whole different story).
The round cover with yamaha on it on the left of the engine got pretty badly damaged, I had to have it replace plus the inside of it too as parts of the metal of the case were wedged inside according to my mechanic.
since i had this work done it seems that whenever i slow down there is some clunking going on in the engine area, I can't really be more specific as it stops whenever I come to a complete stop so I can't get off the bike and have a good look/listen where exactly it's coming from.
Basically i hear faint clunking sound when i slow down, and feel it too, it's not like when you clunk into gear (nothing like it) but really faint, i don't notice it when i am driving, only when coming to a halt, even when i am in neutral but it stops when i stop.
Any of you guys have an idea what this might be and if it is anything to worry about, I have been riding like this for 2 months now and it does not seem to affect performance whatsoever, I commute 40 miles a day and usually go on rides on the weekend so can safely say the bikes (otherways) runs great.
The other thing i found is that I can now shift without using the clutch, previously I was not able to do that, I guess the FZ'6 have something preventing the shift peddle from moving when the clutch is not pulled in? I just noticed I can shift without clutching last week so not sure if it is related but it does make me think the "clunking" has something to do with the gears. but then I am far, far from being a mechanic or having any mechanical skills whatsoever... i can change my oil and oilfilter.. that's about it.
So hopefully someone here knows what it might be/how to fix it or even had the same thing happen too?
wuld be great if anyone can help me out with this!
Thanks,
Joel
