I've tried adjusting the cable from both ends with no positive outcome just the same "clutch out - no go"

I replaced the 6 clutch springs, because they were heavy duty springs which I was assuming was the cause of my extremely heavy clutch

I didn't remove the plates? Haha and it worked before hand... I'm. Wondering if the softer springs has made the clutch cable appear to long?

Post by: adeejaysdelight on 10 February 2014, 07:40:15 pm: Has the clutch pressure plate seated properly? Did you replace one spring at a time, or take them all off at once? Has the gear selector rod moved? Hve you checked the pressure plate is moving when the clutch cover is off?

There are some things to get you started.

Cheers for ideas :)
Gear rod is fine, I changed all springs at once and the plate was moving when pulling the lever... starting to.do me.in now lol

When I changed my cat springs I didn't realise there was 2 different lengths which needed to be alternated on installation!
You still have the heavy duty springs so stand them on end and have a look.

Post by: Punkstig on 10 February 2014, 09:42:46 pm: Btw- the length difference was minimal, as in mm, but there was a difference!

Post by: Deefer666 on 11 February 2014, 08:58:37 am: There are two different clutches in the FZS600, even my local yamaha dealer did not know this. So there are two different sets of HD clutch springs. I had this with a customers bike and it baffled me for a while. are they EBC springs and do you have a part number on the packet?
