Help! Clutch problem
#1
Hi all,

I am new here… bought a very clean 2001 Fazer but it’s developed a problem!

When in gear the chain is snatching. It’s not sprockets or chain. I took the clutch cover off to change the plates and I have scoring on my outer basket. Anyone with any ideas? I figure it’s probably bearing related? I can move the outer basket a tiny bit by

Interesting. From the photos, it looks like you have removed the cover and we are looking into the clutch area. First thing I have to say is that I dont see any trace of any oil anywhere. I would typically expect to see traces of oil on components but see none. How have you cleaned the areas in the photos or have you been running without oil?

There does look to be some scoring on the basket which may be due to the plates sticking on the grooves that can be seen on the finger guides. Depending on your skill/abilities, it is possible to remove those marks with care and some fine emery paper etc. The basket would have to be removed from the bike to do that, then thoroughly cleaned before refitting.

Looking at the marks on the basket adjacent to the gear at the rear, Id be concerned that metal shavings may have gotten into the engine, and would suggest that the engine be thoroughly flushed, new oil filter, and fresh oil in before restarting

Yes either very good cleaning job or that's a wet clutch run dry

Scoring on the outer basket are on a lot of fazers and are there since manfacturing. I would be more concerned like others about the lack of oil around the clutch parts

Did you buy the bike from a dealer or privately? What is the mileage? Did it come with any history? How much have you ridden it before the fault developed?

I can see further evidence of someone being in there, if you look closely at the pan head screw in photo one, its clear that the screw head has been subject to a screwdriver for some reason. Im not familiar with that shiny component the screw is securing though
