@@reecetaylor9518 yeah I thought it was low too. Here is a service manual that gives you another step by step. It’s got loads of other jobs in there too, go to page 149. www.journey.cz/moto/navody/Yamaha%20Fazer%20FZS600%20'98%20Service%20Manual.pdf
Very good video! But my clutch was still slipping after replacement. After 4 times putting it together i found a second adjustment for the clutch cabel on the left side of the bike, covered by a black rubber cap, you can adjust it wit a 12m spanner and a phillips screwdriver, now its driving perfect!!👍
I didn't bother with much oiling but I did make one mistake, after the anti judder spring goes the friction plate with the larger internal diameter. Then the steel plate and so on, first time I had the larger internal friction plate second last. Also make sure when u have the cap on and bolts tightened that u pull the clutch to make sure it moves., and that the cap is fully up against the last plate, it only goes on one way
If you have replaced the clutch then you may have to adjust your lever cable. Over time it may have been tightened to compensate for the wearing clutch, now you have a new one in the bike the cable needs to be adjusted. Try winding the adjuster on the handlebars all the way in to see if that makes a difference, then wind it out a bit at a time until it feels right. Give it a try and let me know how you get on.
@@db192 appreciate you getting back to me! I don’t think I have done anything wrong and the adjuster is pretty much as far out as it will go but still a lot of slack it’s very weird!
Right so today I've done this job on my X reg (2000) Fazer. Inside the basket I found 9 friction plates (one of them with a bigger internal diameter to accommodate the anti judder spring) and 8 steel plates. As the friction plate kit I bought from Ebay (£34) which was supposed to be dedicated to my bike only contained 8 same size friction plates I just used the old bigger internal diameter one again. I also replaced the steel plates (£36 from Wemoto). I'm happy to say the bike runs sweet again... Back to practising wheelies lol Thanks again for that tutorial DB 192
I was following this guide everything going ever so well and easy, then when tightening my clutch basket, the ends where the springs go into just crumbled lol. Not entirely sure how that happened has it as only hand tight
@@paulshelley4754 hello mate. I've just ran into the same problem, I've ordered a new pressure plate. Could you tell me what I need to do to ensure it doesn't happen again as I tightened it to the specified torque
Hey mate changed the clutch plates with new ones new springs and gasket ebc clutch plates the old ones where worn the friction and three steel ones where blue but now the clutch won't Engage when I pull the clutch lever noting happens it like pulling fresh air and the plates don't move in or out
Hello, you can adjust the clutch cable where it goes into the clutch housing. There are forums where they explain how to do this. It takes up the slack in the cable then you can fine tune it at the handlebars.
forgot to add at the start to drain the bikes engine oil and at the end of the installation the torque setting for the clutch friction plate springs which is 8newton metres. Also caseing bolt settings too. other than that good vid mate. shall be doing mine soon as its slips when i hit 7-8000rpm
Hello Imad Banna, Thanks for the question, the clutch will sometimes slip under hard acceleration especially when it's cold. This is usually a sign of a worn clutch. Slipping is when the revs will rise quickly with less increase in speed where the plates aren't gripping properly.
Thanks for help mate I would like to ask another quastion as its my new bike I am having trouble turning it on the first time I try to switch the key on the left handle u know what I mean ? The key that makes the engine warm and ready and still wont turn on until I press the right hand handle I am sorry mate my english is too bad and I dont what those I just told u abt called hehe
Hi mate, good video. I have a fazer1000 and when I let the clutch out it judders a little bit, any ideas.?? Clutch isn't slipping as it pulls strong in each gear. Cheers
How many plates are there for the FZ6? I saw 6 springs but only 5 plates? I guess it doesn't refer to the number of gears then? Thanks for posting this excellent guide!
Hi Ashley. I have a 2001 Fazer. Over the last 2-300 miles, I've noticed she's knocking in low revs, low gears (-4000). Do you think this is the clutch? It's certainly gear related as I throttle off, the symptom stops. I power out of a bend knock knock knock. How would you investigate?
im having this problem with my fazer s 600 2002. I took off the cover to the front sprocket (where your clutch cable goes inside) and tightened the bolt holding the sprocket in place. The nut was super loose only held on my the bent washer. This solved all my low rev *knocking/rumbling/vibrating* feeling in your ankles for a whole 24 hours before returning. I am now about to take the cover off and have a look for a second time but deeply considering taking off my clutch cover and investigating hence watching these videos. Did you ever find the solution to your problem? Thanks.
Great video mate. Our 1999 Fazer was laid up for quite a while(6years in fact). off cylinders 1&2 on firing order 1234. Off cylinders 3&4 on firing order 1243 and 1&2 come on. Have replaced plugs battery and CDI unit. Still no joy. Any ideas? No hair left!!!
Hello Benjy sorry about the late reply. Yes, the friction plate you are asking about has a thinner width to accommodate the anti-judder spring. This friction plate is the 3 plate to go into the clutch assembly. So 1 normal friction, one steel then the thinner width and spring go in then continue with steel, friction, steel etc.
Good vid cheers, got myself a Fazer recently. Quick question, how tight do you have to put the spring bolts when you're reinstalling the pressure plate?
Personally id say cross the board with them so start at the top left and then bottom right then top right, bottom left, all the way right then all the way left
Hello, I see ya got 30k views. I own a 2001 fazer and did not know that so many were around. Anyway, I hamma the clutch and it seems industuctable, am I just lucky or wot. Any feed back, please..
Hello Tim Jones, The clutches are pretty tough on the fazers, typical Yamaha build quality. This clutch was changed around 40,000. Sometimes they last even longer but I'm partial to a few wheelies when the time calls for it so it may have had more wear than normal use.
Ashley Debell iv stopped using the clutch. I use it only for getting going, if I time it right, its not needed, but you have to be gentle. The 2001 fazer has 18k and is in perfect condition.
Wow nice video. No stupid music just straight forward and clear 👍
Great video! Going to do this today
If anyone is wondering the manual has the spring bolts at 8nm and the clutch cover bolts at 12nm
Hello mate I used this video to change my clutch plates and springs on my FZ400 with great results so thank you very much :)
Cracking vid, job done no fuss and easy to follow, I'll b giving this a go soon
Lean the bike with the side stand on a slope so that it's at 45 degrees and the oil will stay in the engine. Saves time and effort!
Nice one mate! Converted my Fazer and this vid is useful for clutch maintenance . Thanks.
No worries bud
I was worried at first but this looks so straightforward
It’s easy if you take it step by step. Make sure you torque the bolts correctly for the pressure plate. It’s the only thing I really missed out of the video.
@@db192 so that is really it, dont have to worry about the clutch cable or anything, also would you happen to know the torque settings
May need to adjust the cable slightly, I was able to do this at the handlebar. Spring bolts are 8nm and the cover bolts are 12nm.
@@db192 really only 8nm for the spring bolts

Great video, definitely saving this one
you see the casing beside the clutch to the right would I have to drop the oil to replace the gasket there or no

Also make sure when u have the cap on and bolts tightened that u pull the clutch to make sure it moves., and that the cap is fully up against the last plate, it only goes on one way
There are different size plates in the set?
Have I done something wrong? Done exactly on this video but when I pull the clutch in there is a bit of play and it won’t jump out of gear?

What is this ring called 5:01
I believe they are called wave springs that help with clutch engagement. Stops the clutch biting and causing a judder.
@@db192 cant find them on the internet for my yamaha fazer 600 :(
Thank u for the clutch vid big help
You’re very welcome!
If there are 8 friction plates and 8 steel plates how is it possible that you start with a friction plate and then finish with a friction plate too?
7 friction plates and 6 steel plates. 👍🏼
@@db192 Thanks for your reply. I wonder why the kit contains 8 plates of each type...

Are the clutch plates located behind where you put the oil in
Yes that’s correct. On the right side of the bike

Is it just at Very very low revs?
did you have to take the oil out off the engine before you start?
did you use a torque wrench when tightening the bolts or did you just judge it yourself?

Coils?

Do you have to drop the oil first to do this???
+danny rose ofcourse
+danny rose On the FZS, if you work on the bike resting on its side stand, you do not need to empty the oil.
