    Hi all. Hoping you can help me diagnose the issue with my 2000 ZR-7 clutch. To my novice eyes, it seems like it sticks at first, then maybe even slightly slips until 3000 RPM. Here are the symptoms: 1. Bike rolls in 1st with clutch pulled in. Does not roll with clutch released. Good start. 2...
  5. Ninja 650R Performance Upgrades
    This past weekend I finally completed my install of the stiffer BRP clutch springs and a new set of clutch discs. The issue I'm having is that the clutch engagement zone has shrunk to an uncontrollable level and I'm trying to determine why that has happened. I began this project about 3 weeks...

    2007 Ninja 650. I was gonna go for a ride yesterday and somehow accidentally kicked it into first while sitting in the driveway.

    So I put in a new clutch this evening because the old one was engaging very far out and slipping at around 8k rpm / full throttle. Guess what? The NEW one is doing the exact same thing, in fact it literally feels like I didn't change a thing!! I also put in new EBC heavy duty springs. Also, I...

    Absolutely love my N1K except for a few minor glitches, and most of those have been cured with aftermarket parts. The most annoying remaining problem is with the clutch. When under engine braking there are times when pulling the clutch lever all the way to the bar won't even off load the drive...

    Hi there Guys. I was driving my Bandit 1200s today and noticed that the clutch lever was unusually low, that is... it connected with the engine almost as soon as I gave an millimeter of release... Now, after that I had hard times to hit the gears and it was not a pleasant drive at all. I also...
