I had a UK FZX750 98bhp (they were official in the UK for one year before being dropped due to poor sales).... Evil handling little bastards, never really knew what was going on underneath me and I sold it to my uncle and it spat him off....Twice! :rollin :rollin :rollin
If the clutch is fading then like all late 80s/early 90s yams the clutch slave cylinder will need either rebuilding or replacing plus it'll be leaking brake fluid onto your chain which wont do it much good at all..... Really really common fault and the part is the same as the FJ1200/1100 & FZ700/750. Unless you are really unlucky you should be able to get away with just fitting a seal kit to the slave.
Due to falling sales in the late 80's nd the failed merger & bail out program, Harley Davidson a forced the US government to impose an excessively heavy import duty on all Japanese motorcycles 750cc and above, The Japanese responded by reducing the bore on it popular models for the US market to 700cc. When Harley realised what the Japanese were doing they got the Government to amend the bill to also limit the power output of imported Japanese bikes. Hence we got the 98BHP FZX750 and the US got the 60ish BHP Fazer 700, We got the VFR750 and the US got the 700 Interceptor.... etc etc
