After hours of troubleshooting, disassembling and reassembling the clutch I have come to the conclusion my transmission is shot at 28,000 miles. Gear box is shot, no 4th or 5th gear. Dies in first, will take off in second but with terribly high revs, 3rd is intermittent and cuts out. Only gear worth a shit is 6th which is why i was able to ride it home on the interstate. So my transmission needs rebuilt, and a whole new bottom end put on. I'm sick over this, prime riding season and I'm SOL for a bike. I still do not understand how it happened or why other than Murphy's law. I've done extensive research only to find no one else with this problem at 28,000 miles on a Gen 2 FZ1 tranny. Now I'm trying to decide between pulling the motor and rebuilding it or pulling the motor and buying a new slightly used one from a salvage bike on ebay. Any thoughts?
