  1. The ZX-10R
    I start off with 5mm free play. As I am riding the bike in city traffic conditions around 3-6k RPMs, there are a lot of downshifts involved. Every now and then, I feel a weird feedback(during the friction zone) in the clutch lever when downshifting and after that the clutch lever free play...

    Odds are this will be buried. I’m doing a clutch cable replacement on my gen 1 10r and when both ends of the cable are fastened on I have absolutely 0 slack on the lever side and the clutch arm looks to be pulling way to much. It seems as if the steel cable itself is about a half inch short. The...

    Hi there. I’m interested to install a STM slippery clutch in my Gen5 but I’m not sure if all Gen have the same clutch. Some vendors sell it for all Gen, and others only mention it works until gen4. Now I’m not sure if the clutch it’s the same on all Gens… Anyone can confirm this for me, please?
  4. The ZX-10R
    Hi, I have a gen1 with 85k miles and on the last 200 miles the mushroom head of my clutch pullrod was shew down by the release arm. So much that the arm was not able to grip it anymore and I lost the ability to disengage the clutch. Of course I will replace both and take the opportunity to...

    My bike is knocking when I accelerate so checked the chain and saw that it was quite loose so tightened it up but it's still doing it. If I rock it back and forth with it in gear and clutch lever in you can hear the knocking. Any ideas? TIA.
  6. The ZX-10R
    I am currently sitting at 14k miles on my 2016 Zx10r. I'm still in the process of learning how to clutch up wheelie. Does wheelieing with the brocks clutch mod destroy the clutch since it takes away the slip? Asking because my clutch is currently shot, just wondering if that has anything to do...

    Hello everyone, my name is Kristofer and i received a basket case of a bike. I have a 2005 Ninja Zx10r. Previous owner said the clutch wasn’t grabbing and told me it was bc the clutch push rod he had installed is a nut hair too long. Fast forward 3 days i ordered a “genuine oem” pushrod from...
  8. The ZX-10R
    ill start by saying I change my chain and sprocket -1 front stock rear and 520, went for a long ride a few months back and I noticed my bike slipping when at full throttle. I adjusted me my clutch from the cable screw and it went away. Went to track yesterday and added 2 gallons of 100 gasoline...

    My Gen 3 ZX10 has had this issue for the past month where the clutch will squeak and make a whistling noise when its pulled in/ disengaged. It seems to be more prominent when the bike is warmed up, but sometimes it happens when its cool. I havent noticed any difference in the performance of the...

    I'm new to the forum and this issue may have been addressed previously. I bought a 2006 zx10r with 22k miles. I did some minor work to get it running again but my main issue is first gear. First gear on my bike feels like it's slipping and it doesn't matter how much throttle is applied. The...

    Ok everyone, I have a 2012 ZX-10 with about 6000 miles on it. Haven't had much of any problems with it, but after sitting in the garage through winter I started having downshifting problems. I drove it some throughout winter but not a lot. I pulled it out and seems like it is hard to...

    Hey guys, First post on any forum... So, on my ride to drop off my girl at her work I noticed a squeak coming from the left side gearbox area of my 09 10R. It would only be audible when I would put pressure on my gear shifter to upshift, then when I blip the throttle (clutchless shift) and...

    Now I know when a bike starts to slip its time to change the fibers and plates. But this bike was purchased christmas of 2011. With only 5000 miles on it 4th gear starts to slip when I fully open the throttle and around 8000rpm. It does not do it if I gradually pick up speed. It is time for an...

    I was on the Freeway in about third or fourth gear(about 65mph) I was down shifting and all of a sudden an "pop" sound and some grinding, bike was still moving rolling. I made it over to the side of the road, clutched, and the RPM's went up quickly. I turned the bike off and it would not turn...

    I have an 05 zx10r and recently this condition has been getting progressively worse. For example when I am trying to back up with the clutch pulled in and the gear in first it is impossible. The bike wants to pull forward. So what I did next was put it on stands and when it was lifted and the...
