Title: gen 1 fazer clutch
Post by: seano on 14 May 2021, 10:37:46 am

hi can anyone tell me how long the standard clutch should last? I know it would depend on riding style etc just a general idea would be good as my 1000 has done 42k now and its on the last of its adjustment at the engine actuator arm and the gear change is quite notchy now
thanks

Sounds like you've answered your own question ... wallet out time  :'(  new clutch pack, all being well nowt elses is shagged when u pull it apart.
If you decide to replace clutch, do the drilling mod to inner splined hub while you're in there, it'll run way smoother & plates will last way longer, gear changes will be much improved.
Bin old clutch cable too, it'll be well worn & grabby, Genuine is pricey, but a million times better than pattern stuff.

There is an adjuster in the centre of clutch cable under the tank just above the engine.
