Hello All,

I have problems with my clutch cable on my FZ1-N 2007.
I have disassmbled my clutch cable to clean it because it worked verry heavy.
Then i assembled it back and it worked perfect.

But last saturday I drove my bike on wet condiscions and yes my clutch is verry heavy again.
Luckely I already ordered a new one.
I assembled the new one and it was even worse then the old one.

Is there any alternative ore did I do something wrong.
I felt on a clutch from a R1 2006 and it was heaven so light.
My opinion is that there are much bends in the original cable.

Thanks!
 
Did you clean the lever where it pivots? My buddy just recently bought an 03 z1000 and he thought for sure the clutch was jacked up. I assured him it wasn't and we just needed to look at it. Sure enough the lever was super dirty at the pivot point. Dirty enough the lever actually wouldn't even return to neutral position. Took it apart cleaned it all up, lubed it and it works like new. Start with what's easy and cheap. Thousands of fz's running around with stock cables...
