Hey all so quick question i am preaty sure i know the answer but want a second opinion.
Friend of mine recently bought a used fz6. I had to install a chain and give it a once over and did some basic maintence. I installed the did x2 pro chain on it pulled the wheel to check bearings and clean the grease from the old sliders and gear teeth since it had new jt sprockets. I reassembled and properly adjusted the chain but for some reason while in gear the bike started herk a jerking while it was idly turning in gear while in the air.
Went away with a bit of throttle but would persist till i pulled the clutch in and then came back when i released it. Did this in all gears i tried. Now my first thought was maybe i screwed the chain up but it rolls smooth and steady at all speeds and nothing was holding it or kinking which left the engine.
I figure its likely the clutch since the lever setting was past its maxamuim extension with an after market 6 setting clutch lever which i told him to toss in the trash and put the stock one back on.
Am i on the right track or am i chasing the wrong leed. Also its missfireing on cyclinder 3 which i suspect is a bad sparkplug or plug wire like mine was.( fuel was coated on the air box inside directly above cyclinder 3) the bike also aperently has a power commander installed so not sure that has anything to do with any of this. Not sure if its been properly adjusted to this bike.
