  • The FZR clutch was getting a bit baggy after 45,000 miles. With the prospect of a road trip later in the year I take the current lockdown as an opportunity to change the clutch, as well as tackling a few other jobs.

    Just bought a 96 fzr600 for my first bike and I’m working on restoring it and getting it running. This video is invaluable and thank you for the work and detail you put into it.

    Finally managed to pull my 93 into my garage to start tearing it down to get it running again and you're video's have been invaluable, thank you.

    A couple of things worth mentioning on your clutch replacement. When you remove the cover, given the age of these bikes, the gasket is likely to be hard and stuck to the surfaces so may come apart. You need to do a careful but thorough job in removing it all from the surfaces of both the cover and engine cases to prevent leaks. Also you will need a new gasket for reassembly. The second thing is that when you have removed the bolts and springs it's worth marking the pressure plate and one of the bolt holes. With 5 bolt holes there are 5 ways to orient the pressure plate when you put it back on but only one position is correct to allow the pressure plate to be fully seated. The other 4 ways don't allow it to seat properly in the splines of the clutch boss so it won't put pressure on the clutch plates, thereby giving you clutch slip despite installing new plates.

    The clutch on the FZR can be weak, but that should keep it going.

    Funny what you said about the torque wrench probably not going low enough . I torqued mine to the factory settings and snapped a bolt lucky it was the bolt and not stripping the threads . Good job done you will have quite a few years of use out of that . Cheers

    Ooo nice tip re the oil cooler! I don't have the same bike, or even the same type of bike, but this was interesting to watch! :-)

    What brakes did you install on the bike? Looks like you have nice 4 pot brakes compared to my singles.

    wTF kind of FZR600 is this? That oil cooler and filter are not on my 93. o_O either way, good vid, but jeeez now I'm wondering what else is different. I've had mine for over 10 years, so who knows before that, but it's been running perfectly since I refurbed it then though I just found a peanut cover leak, so looks like i'll be correcting that soon.

    Just found your channel looking for brake rebuilding advice and subscribed. I just bought rolling 90 fzr600 and a stripped fzr400 frame and swingarm. Looks life everything except the engine needs going through. Wish me luck.

    Awesome video, just bought one! EDIT: I'm surprised by the quality of the external mic and editing. Again; awesome video! You could very well cut the video, and repost the clutch part, for far more hits with the title: "How to replace a Yamaha sports bike clutch". Or so... :)! Cheers

    Hey I have a 93 FZR 600 and I change the clutch and Clutch cable and it won't go into gear now....with the old clutch it went into gear just fine. Any ideas why?

    Nice video. Have a purple 93 here in the US i've owned for approx 25 years. Replaced the original clutch cable a few years ago after having let the bike sit for 10+ years (the soft front suspension ripped the handlebars out of my hands during emergency breaking to avoid an animal and almost wrecked...scared me off from riding). Anyway, replaced my clutch cable last year with an aftermarket and it snapped the 5th time I squeezed the clutch. Ordered a OEM cable and its held up fine. Took my clutch disks out to look for biinding but your video and comments are making me wonder if replacing the clutch basket might make the clutch lever squeeze a bit easier. Has anyone else had a stiff clutch pull or do you find it comparable to other bikes?

    I myself have a 94 fzr600r and loved the video. Have you had to service the stator? If so what level of difficulty did you find?
