Gen 2 - clutch actuation force, post nr 2
« on: 14 June 2017, 06:39:10 pm »
I've checked the new slippery cable that was fitted a month or so ago and it's all free - disconnected at the lever on the bars and it runs smoothly and easily.

Clutch force required to actuate is pretty high and, comparing to other FZ1s and R1s with a similar engine, it needs approx twice as much force to actuate. Think I'll wear out my two clutch fingers soon!

The clutch is original at 49,000 miles of mainly town commuting (also lots of clutch slipping as I'm really a 2T rider).

Before I tear it down any specific ideas to FZ1s  on what to look for other than the usual worn basket etc and possible solutions and products?

Any ideas would be much appreciated.
Thanks guys
