clutch

Hi Guys, Just bought a V-Max about a month ago, I had previously been riding crotch rockets... (finally grew out of that stage, thank god) and now im noticing that my clutch is leaking from underneath. Also occasionally the bike doesnt want to shift easily out of 1st when at a stop. Once I bleed...

Starting around a month ago, I started having problems than when my bike was cold, and i haven't rode it in a while when I would first start the bike up and ride off, the clutch had a ton of play, and it would engage SUPER early, then after riding about 5-10 minutes it would go back to normal...

Hi, I just noticed my brake fluid in the clutch master cylinder is alot browner than my brake side. I talked to a friend who's a mechanic and he said it clutch fluid isn't all that important and that it'll probably work without changing. He suggested that i wait to next time my brake fluid...

About to start getting into my clutch again after 12 months of no riding. The last issue I had which I could not fix is: I have done the dd conversion, pumped the fluid in got pressure everything is fine.After 5-10min of riding clutch lever slowly engages later and later until it is just...

The original idea was to fix the "hard to find neutral" problem according to the tech bulletin. When we opened up the clutch housing, my brother decided to get a new clutch pack. Here is what happened: We bought new friction and slip plates from Sean (big thank you, btw). We removed the old...

Hey all, I just replaced the clutch on my 93. Got it all back together and checked the lever... Rock hard! I pulled it back down again (all plates out) but the lever is still rock hard... I bleed the system but it pumps back up to its rock hard state... And advise? Nate

Well I've had an annoying coolant leak all season, been weeping out of the drain off hole under the spark plug on cylinder #2 (front left while sitting on the bike) so I determined it was coming from the coolant hose where it attaches to the head. Trimmed about an inch off the hose to get to...

While installing Barnett pressure plate I accidentally engaged the clutch lever & didn't think much of it. Got all back together, then installed ss braided line & bleed line out. After bleed job I can't even pull the lever, clutch won't engage. I started bike up & I can shift it in gear without...

Bit desperate here, need to sell my Vmax, just prepping for the MOT I have just bled the clutch because it was a bit spongy after the bike sitting for a while. The clutch has pressure but feels like a front brake, with huge pressure but obviously not moving the pushrod and clutch plates...

I swapped my stock Vmax clutch master and lever for one from a FJR1300 so I could have the adjustability of the lever. So the switch on the FJ has three prones, but when I looked at the wiring diagram is only showns the same two wires that the Vmax has. Blue and Black. I tried sticking those...

I recently replaced the master cylinder covers with chrome ones. First attempt, the clutch master leaked. I took it off, cleaned the rubber gasket and master sealing surface. I'm pretty sure I over filled it because a little fluid leaked out the side where the little notch is for a few rides...

I just installed Kawasaki ZX-14 reservoirs so I could fit adjustable levers to my 2000 VMax. The brake needed bleeding but after was tight as a drum and works perfectly, but the clutch is as floppy as a wet noodle and I just drain the reservoir when I try to bleed it. My bike is currently...

Hi would like to know if the stock vmax clutch lever fits with the fjr1300 clutch master or do you need the lever from the fjr

Did you guys that went with the galfer clutch line run the line to the slave extension piece or bolt the line directly to the slave cyl.? thanks for the input

Ok, so a little background on the bike. It's an 85, the PO let the bike sit up for at least 3 years. Since having it I pulled the tank, cleaned and coated it. I've cleaned the carbs. Replaced the master cylinders with ones from a zx11 and I've rebuilt the slave cylinder. While I had the slave...

I had been hearing some noises when starting my "88 Vmax for the last year, that I didn't like the sound of. I had asked my dealer mechanic if he thought it needed work when he installed new tires last Fall, and he said that was pretty much normal and to keep riding. Last evening, I tried...

Hy, is there anay spacer (or wave washer) in back of the 72 thooth idle gear on the starter clutch:ummm: While i put every thing back in place this big gear at the back of fly-wheel as a free play (back n forth) of about 0,080`` and it dose`nt allow with the little 27 thoot gear. And this...
