All I did was normally drive from a stop at a stop sign. I heard a pop, engine stopped and.lost my clutch. My chain snapped. I'm.not sure what happened yet. Had to push my bike to work. Part or what could, wrapped on my front Sprocket. So I don't know what to think. My chain is toast for sure I'm not sure of clutch granted when I pull the lever it doesnt feel like a clutch. =\ so if i find my clutch is.bad anybody have a good replacement? I dont need a performance one, just one that will hold Up great!!! Awwww my poor bike.
wow just wow =,(

you know I have a really funny story. My first chain I never lubbed clean or even ever adjusted for year and a half I put 15,000 miles on the chain. Don't get me wrong terrible idea that's that chain was stiffer than a rock. This chain I bought only lasted about 6000 miles and that with me lubricating and cleaning and adjusting every 500 miles. My first One never broke my second One did. What's up with that

I'm not expert but I would think that chains should last WAY longer than 6,00 miles if you are cleaning/lubing it according to the bikes manual.
Did the chain have a masterlink?
If you arent good with pics, write one of the staff members.Im sure they would post your pic for you.I don't think we have pics on here showing how a fz6r's chain binds after a break.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but if your chain is stuck in the front sprocket the clutch it the last thing you have to worry about. I know that’s not what you wanted to hear.
Sorry man, I wish you luck.

F a master link.

Sucks man. Best of luck to you.

Is it a clip master link or is it rivet?
And yes, if it jammed up your front sprocket like you say.... thats not good at all. Please post pictures. Your chain could have cracked the case when it hit. Your sprocket locking up could have toasted your gears. At minimum a new output shaft bearing which you have to remove engine and split the case to do. All of these are big $$$....

As long as he didnt knock a hole in a structural area on the casing, or shear a woodruff key, it wont be the end of the world.Dont street bikes have woodruff keys to?
Clutches are made to change, just like chains.
If you do find a crack in your engine case, sand it down, mix up jb weld on a styrofoam plate, let it harden a couple of minutes until its putty instead of liquid.Then put a glob of it onto a piece of masking tape to hold it in place, and give it a smooth appearance.I fixed a dime sized hole in a warrior that way.It works
Before you order a new chain, search on here first this time.It might help you find a cheap chain breaker, and a more reliable chain.

I'm willing to put good money on it being a clip master that was likely installed backwards.
Use Rivet links ONLY on replacement chains for this exact reason.
I got my fingers crossed for you OP. I Hope It isn't as bad as what J stated.
I wouldn't just start it.If it was mine, I would get the old chain off, then check the engine cases for cracks.If it looks fine, I would order a new chain and sprocket set.Put them on.Then with the engine OFF, id put it into gear, and see if it will roll with the clutch pulled, and stop when you release it.
Then I would start to consider firing it up.
If it doesnt feel proper, then it needs to go to a mechanic.Like jsp said alot of things could of broke.It is your decision to judge wether or not it should go to a mechanic before trying to start it.
I have a feeling it will be ok.Yamahas are second to none, and competing with the best on Earth for a reason.It isnt just performance.When you buy a Yamaha, you know dozens of prototype models were tortured and neglected.It isnt just the suspension, and gear ratios they test.Its mainly situations like this.

If your case is damaged this stuff works great for cover up jobs:
RustOleum
High Heat Ultra (semi gloss black)
The semigloss is not an exact paint match but it is close. I posted some pics of the 2012 Raven I fixed for my ex when she dropped her bike in the gravel going 2 mph. I was AMAZED how well it cleaned up. You can't even tell it was dropped on that case now. Hopefully it works for you too, maybe with a little JB weld like others have suggested if you do have a minor cracking going on.

Oh and cheer up man! She'll be back in the road in no time. At least it happened at the END of the riding season and not the early spring right? Just think of it like you are putting her down for maintenance early this year
