help, please just bought a 09 fz6r

[bubbazaay]

I bought a wrecked 09 fz6r today with 2200. By what I can tell is I just did the first oil change on it today. When I am riding it and I come up to a stop and I pull the clutch in and rev the engine a little bit I can feel the transmission clunk. Feels like it's trying to engage. Right now it is not doing it at a complete stop. Note the handle bars are bent from the wreck.

How badly was it damaged in the wreck?

I would probably start with adjusting the clutch cable.

I'm guessing pretty hard. There no frame damage. The stator case has some deep scratches. I bought the bike with new plastics. But everything is running and working fine. No leaks from the bike. Just the weird transmission or clutch issue. Thanks for the help I will do the adjustments tomorrow.

I'd say get a pro to look over it before you risk your life at almost 100mph on the bike. That being said, I usually don't shift into first til I come to a complete stop. Mine clunks a bit even stopped going into first. Was that your sound/feeling?

 

[bubbazaay]

It has a hard clunking sound when I rev it with the clutch lever pulled in coasting to a stop doesn't matter the gear except natural. Other than that the bike is solid just don't know what causes the clutch to engage.

Could the chain be slapping? There is internal drag in the drive train. When you goose it, perhaps it's putting all the chain slack from one side to the other. If you can push your chain up to where it touches the swingarm, you're beyond the 2" slack limit.

Make sure your clutch is adjusted properly as well as your chain slack.

as already said check the clutch lever adjustment


but one thigs that does clunk when too loose is the chain so check the play in the chain

Is there a post on the forums on how to adjust the clutch lever? Or tell me the specs on how the clutch play and when it engages.

Yup, 10-15mm (.39-.59") measured at the ball at the end of clutch lever. I had mine too tight after I changed my levers and had problems. Gear wouldn't fully disengage. Keep it in the spec range and shouldn't have problems.

I've checked the clutch and chain both seem to be in range.

If it's a slight clunk or click when just lightly revving it with the clutch pulled in at a stop you should be fine. My bike does the same thing and has since day one. If it's not just a sound and it actually lurches forward that could be a different story.

He lives! lol

I would adjust the clutch to it's limit and test again.

Thank you! I've been worried had other people ride it everyone is saying it's just a clunk but doesn't move the bike

If it's just going into 1st it is perfectly normal. Just don't want bike to be able to surge forward when dropping into gear. I had my clutch lever too tight before and bike moved even when clutch was fully engaged. Adjusted per spec and voila.

Just like everyone else said... The clutch.... If it sounds good when riding check the clutch lever and if possible get the clutch checked...
