Hi guys, Just wondering if the knocking from my clutch is normal. When riding around and come to a halt, I take it out of gear and release the clutch and it gives a knocking noise until i pull the clutch back in.


When first firing up (stationary), i find the noise will only come when i clutch-in, select 1st, Back to neutral then release the clutch again.   


I have just swapped the engine, the new one is a 14k minter that has no rattles or knocks (apart from this), The old engine did it too, but i cant make my mind up if this new engine is worse?


Can't think of anything other than the release bearing in my head. Or are these bikes just like this?


Cheers,
Tom

Wondering if anyone had any experience with fitting other wheels to the Fzs. I am doing an R1 Usd font end conversion (waiting for the forks to be delivered), so the front is no problem.
I was going to fit a thunderace rear wheel for the 180 tire option, But would an R1 rear wheel fit/line up? (with the right bearing for the spindle ect) 98 boxeye and '98 r1 wheel.


The reason  ask, instead of just doing the thunderace wheel is. I don't have the R1 front wheel yet, and most decent ones on ebay are in pairs.


Cheers,
Tom

EDIT: Anybody know if the disc's of the Fazer front wheel will fit the R1 rim?

Have a complete '98 engine ready for stripping. Ran fine, all gears work ect. Will be dismantling.
 
 Pm me if you need any parts.
 
 Generator cover gone
 Starter clutch cover gone.

For anyone wanting to get rid of crusty old HT leads or Knackered coils, This is for you 

Did this mod today. Nothing in particular wrong with my coils, the HT's were just stiff, Cracked and oxidised at the end.
Simple enough, Coils used are 636r ninja (unsure on the year).

Standard coils read 2.5ohm's (YMMV)
636 read 1.3ohm's (Will obviously double up to 2.6ohm's in a pair)

Very simple Simple loom, Just 2 pairs wired up in series, Drew up a little diagram.



Installed:




Hope this helps.

All the best,
Tom
