How long should a clutch last? Just this past week my ZZR600 gearbox (ZX6E in North America) has been quite cranky and difficult to get into neutral at a standing start, as well as crash and bang into some gears. I've adjusted it now, but the clutch point is still almost all the way in near the handgrip which is where it shouldn't be. It is however, less clunky. What gives? It's not slipping, and the bike has done 'only' 40,000klm and being my daily transport, I don't exactly abuse the old girl so I'm at a bit of a loss to explain what the gently caress it's problem is. Any ideas?

wzm posted:I don't know ZZRs, but if it has a clutch cable, I'd guess that your cable has stretched and needs to be adjusted. It isn't slipping because your cable is loose, rather then tight. Z3n posted:The clutch point should not be in almost all the way in near the handgrip. It should have about a quarter inch worth of slack in the bar and then engage almost immediately. If you're out of adjustment at the top, adjust it at the bottom, near where it goes into the engine case. Thanks chaps. I'll have a fiddle with it this weekend but if problems persist, I'll be back here...

Looks like I've got to the bottom of my clutch probs: Maintenance fail.
