Thanks for the update. I really do not want to damage anything.

Ok, It was the loose springs on the back of the clutch. To make a long story short. I got a used clutch at a good price on ebay and It had the same dilemma with the springs. Following much fussing, etc I have it working properly but it will need a new clutch basket with 6 good springs to work...

The answer may be on the site somewhere but I have yet to find it. I am new with a used 2002 FZS10 with 34,000 miles. Besides having to address some clutch issues etc. My motor began to run really ratty. It appears the servo motor for the exup valve is not working as when I wired the valve open...

Sorry I just lost the post I had written. Sorry also asserting I had a slipper clutch. No, I have a standard clutch. My clutch has 6 springs on the back of the basket and 4 are quite loose. I think that is where my malfunction is coming from. The springs are to ease the power transfer. I do...

Ballmead, Guess you mean when you down shift your motor is still directly engaged? Mine does not, it slips and the first time I got on, it was totally new. It might be that I have a special set up as I had extra luggage racking etc. Thanks

Ballmead, Yea I went through the throttle settings and it is working OK...

I hate to break the news but when you down-shift and the motor disengages from the rear wheel until you apply the throttle that is a slip clutch or also known as back torque limiter. It is supposed to keep you out of trouble because of the massive amount of possible engine breaking.... Look it...

I have been studying and I think that it comes back to the worn out nature of my "slipper clutch" which I have not found much info on. I know some of the springs on it were loose. A "Slipper clutch" was new to me and I will be doing more research and should get things figured out. Thanks to all...

Sorry, I'm guessing this was not too understandable but I may be on to the solution. To try to reexplain; between the motor when it is turned off and the wheel, with the bike in gear, the wheel can be turned 2 inches or so at the circumference, without turning the motor and that is what is...

Yea the shaft that the clutch rests on has 60 degrees or so of play so when the motor engages it that play must be taken up. Slack is a better word maybe. I wrote out an explanation to try to be more clear. Sorry I made things too complicated. I will try to simplify. Between the motor out put-...

I have recently purchased a 2002 FZS10 (numbers, according to the insurance form). I am troubled by what is a 60 degree lag (at the clutch) in the drive train. What I am describing is that with the clutch apart and simply the boss and shaft free and the motor in first gear, there is a 60 degree...
