I had the same problem after servicing the clutch on a pre owned 08 zx10r, saw this video and read the comments- collected the data and decided to go back into the clutch and redo it all from the 27mm clutch nut forward. I made a few adjustments while inside, the plates were out of order and the steel ones were in backwards, the sharp side faces towards you, previous owner used red lock tight on the spring bolts which only get 11 nm of torque, their 11mm anchor bolts get blue lock tight. Oh and this time I soaked the plates in oil for an hour and all the while was consulting the service pdf manual I bought on ebay for $3 and watched a clutch basket install on youtube showing me how to properly position the final ring. That fixed the problem dead in it’s tracks. Stay dirty my friends!
Hey Man ! I have that same problem after a idiot backed up on my bike and she went down... what was the solution?? Did you change the clutch kit? or it was the push rod broken? Thanks Man Very Much Appreciated !
yeah take off the clutch cover. and the clutch basket has the clutch rod coming right out of it. mine was bent. don't know how it happend. but it was weird. changed it and was all 'G' bikebandit part 46102. mine is a 08 zx10r.
Mozis Hall if evething is right it will work as before. That rod with the cable and spring simply moves the push rod in the clutch basket. Some how the push rod in my clutch was bent so it came out easy. And the clutch wouldn't work.
Ah i see my cable snapped and the spring was missing from the rod and just slid out so i though it was ruind but ill see what happens mate thanks again
Sorry mate, what i acctually mean is see when u pulled the rod out if i had my spring connected up and put the rod back in and connected the cable should it work as normal? Of course if theres no other issues inside the clutch box
when i removed the clutch cover the rod that connects to the arm was bent. it didn't work. I had to replace both. since one was bent. and the other was chipped. do your self a favor and get a gasket at the same time makes it look cleaner than liquid gasket thing i used.
+vetteboy1982 Late as fuck reply, but i am having the SAME fucking problem.. spent a day and a half on it. When i turn the rod to the right it feels like it's hitting something. I'm about to kill someone.

Thank you
Link to video you watched please
Did you find out why its doing that. Mine is doing the same thing
Thanks
I need to change the spring that connected at the top of the rod, will it just pull up if I remove the clutch cable?
I got the same problem
Same problem... Wtf

pull the clutch out and make sure there is nothing stuck between the fiction plates, and or your springs are bad or not torqued properly
thank you sir, i went back in and did what you suggested and am back in business.
What was the fix ?
yeah take off the clutch cover. and the clutch basket has the clutch rod coming right out of it. mine was bent. don't know how it happend. but it was weird. changed it and was all 'G' bikebandit part 46102. mine is a 08 zx10r.
did anyone figure out this problem
You shouldn't be able to push the lever that far at all, the lever to bearing seat and lever spring might be shot or you just need a new clutch
So the problem in my situation was that the push rod that is located in the middle of the clutch basket was bent.
Hope this helps.
showmethedammovie it's the clutch release rod happen to me today
nicholas kinder it's an easy fix. I did it myself. I'm not a mechanic.
showmethedammovie
wat if it's not bent
Angel Santos sorry I'm not sure. I'm not a mechanic. I just can post on my situation. Perhaps it's chipped or bent. Or your cable needs adjustment?
Put in entire new clutch assembly (inner outer baskets,push rod, lever arm, new cable, etc. Still my clutch has no effect what's so ever
My problem on is I replaced the clutch cover and now every time I put it in gear, the bike cuts off. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Jay Jones lift the kickstand. Or check the kickstand switch.
is the rod supposed to come out if the cable is not connected
Mozis Hall I can't remember already. I think it could that's how you install or remove it.
thanks, so if no cable is connected it should slide out but if i reconnect the new cable and the spring at top of the shaft should spring back
Mozis Hall if evething is right it will work as before. That rod with the cable and spring simply moves the push rod in the clutch basket.

I just pulled that rod out by accident and now it goes back down in the hole all the way but it won't rotate to operate the clutch...WTF ?
