- I've finally managed to get my gearbox to work smoothly, I was getting really fed up with the stupidly clunky gear change on my bike so decided to have a look inside the clutch to hopefully find out what the problem was.
- If you look at the clutch you can see the oil holes at about the 4 o'clock position. I drilled the additional holes every second tooth, one near the base and one near the middle.
- I've only covered about 600 miles so far but the difference is amazing.
- Same here, but for me I fixed it by removing all the burring on the clutch basket fingers with a small fine file.
- Thats a problem I have had with this fazer since I bought it and I also believe the squealing noise I get if I vigorously slip the clutch. I always did wonder how I could get more oil onto the dryer plates - nice find mister. Next oil change I am going to do this.
- You should also make sure the drive chains has no more than 35-40mm (the manual says 45mm, but I found the tighter setting better) of slack at its tightest point - this also makes the gear-change smoother.
- And lastly you should check the free-play on your gear lever
