On the way home from work, minding my own etc. Filter of the m-way down the slip road and half way down out of nowhere I get a cnut up behind. At the roundabout junction we both pull away from the lights but I have position as we go round, again right up behind me. So at this point not only am I trying to navigate the useal idiots in cars by have to cater for fuckwit aswell...

I then take my turning and open it up, as I get to the bottom where the turning/sliproad meets the dual carrageway, again I have position. So what does matey do, 80mph+ up in the inside of a car to get in front of me and then carry's on accelerating at speed up the dual carragway weaving between cars etc. I easily & safely catch up and eventually pull up at the lights.

I get some crap about being in his way.... he's been riding since he was 15.... he will punch my light out... blah blah. My reply back, 'it dosent take a genious to see you were riding like a cnut', more verbal from him... but just ignored him at that point. So we pull away again, I get position again, again he is up my arse, but this time there is no where for him to go, further up the road after it widens up he is trying to act cool and goad me at which point I ignore and go on my way.

His bike, looked like a 2011 Z1000, but the twat was wearing a motorcross helmet with no eye protection... says it all.

whats bits do you have atm (that ar ok or faulty) and what do you need.

I ask because its highly possible you dont need any parts, you will be able to refurb the itme syou already have etc.

My previous thou's never needed to the clutch replacing, so can't say for sure. All I can say is with the pattern plates/springs in in the brand new clutch & boss, the cable adjusted to there was virtually no free-play, the biting point was 1.5-2" away from the bar!

that is how mine is at the moment

Hmmm, you could try the pattern plates with your old springs, as long as the springs aren't shorter than 50mm they can be reused.

my suggestion, get stock springs (as the pattern springs make the clutch action noticeably heavier) and the other thing I found was the pattern friction plates screwed up the biting point, but this may have been an issue with the thickness of the pattern plates all being 3mm when compared to the oem have a 4 at something like2.5mm and the rest at 3mm etc.

Second dibs if they fit a gen1 FZS1000 I would interested! Drop me a Pm etc.
