Looking good, so far. Some say give it 500 miles of "regular" use before heavier use. Some say 50 starts and stops. Others say just ride it. No idea. I'd just ride it and if it slips a bit at first, back off for a while. For 90% of the riding I do I couldn't really go any easier on the clutch. I'm not doing power shifts and such.
I imagine I'll naturally need to take it easy to adjust to whatever differences there may be with engagement points and such (stiffer springs), so I'll likely "ease into it" by default. Really hoping this kit will provide some improved feeling during engagement and between shifts. Haven't experienced another high RPM slip lately, but she's gotten quite mushy. It's almost like an underpowered sensation in the seat of the pants between shifts since there isn't a positive "jolt" during gear changes anymore.
Glad to be of help dude, be sure to check out my actual clutch installation tutorial that just went live, too. It might answer more questions. It was a great success, clutch feels awesome.
@@HalfClickUp Now I’m actually running a custom clutch pack where I’ve done a full fiber mod to get rid of the shutter spring and then on the outside I’m running the OEM disk that is the different material I guess and I’m very happy with it but I’m also using my FZ6R as a dirtbike and a stunt bike and I’m just really tough on her 🤣 I can’t have nice things
Interesting. Luckily I don’t need to replace my clutch on my 2010 FZ6R yet. Not sure what clutch kits are available in Australia, but I’m sure there are some other Aussies on here who can let me know, when it is time. Looking forward to the install.
My only advice is to soak the whole pack a day ahead of time at least. Ya usually you want all the tabs in line. Interesting that last plate is different.
@@brianhaygood183 I think it takes the brunt of the friction directly with the pressure plate, which I think is why Yamaha has a separate part number for that one plate. Different friction material I believe… for example it’s specifically noted in the service manual as being solid black in color so as to visually differentiate.
Hey man, i actually replaced my clutch and i have the clutch chatter what u were talking about. Now the thing is, i replaced it as how it came out. First i didnt do the wire but after some time i heard the chatter in high rpm’s now i did the wire but the chatter is still there and i cant see on any diagram that i missed something. If u have no time to answer that’s no problem I will wait on the install video.
So this will be a first time experience for me. I’ve researched and learned as much as I can going into this thing, and I’ll be following the service manual accordingly, but admittedly there’s a fair chance that something doesn’t go right due to my lack of solid clutch knowledge. From what I’ve read about Barnett kits, they can vary from application to application with regards to whether or not you continue to use the wire, etc. The Fizzer kit didn’t come with any instructions on that either way, and so I plan to go back with the wire as factory. As I covered in the video, the only oddity is the slightly thinner 7th steel plate. There’s no other place where it makes sense to go other than with the one funny friction plate behind the wire. I guess my questions to you are: 1. Did you install a Barnett kit. 2. If so, did you put the thinner steel plate with that one different friction plate together behind the wire. 3. Are you sure the dampener spring isn’t installed upside down.

Thank you so much. I screwed this up and all the details you outlined are exactly what I needed to know

Might be worth it to import a Barnett kit to the land down under bro! We’ll see!
$4.29 !!?? LUCKY!! Here in Los Angeles County we have gotten up to $7.29 where I live and word around town is, it will go up to $8 by summer time! 😱😰😢
Almost like we’re living in a movie. Crazy, since I posted this video it has gone up even more everywhere!

Interestingly, Barnett calls for a 15 minute soak. I’ll be employing the 24 hour method for good measure, though.
Yeah, R6 uses the offset on the last one, too. Odd. Never really looked into why.

Are we gonna get a vid of you installing the new clutch, and maybe a first time ride with it?
Absolutely. Stay tuned!
When? I’m doing mine as I type this
@@justinhaney5176 got notification that my gasket shipped this morning, so possibly this weekend.

3. Are you sure the dampener spring isn’t installed upside down.
What cars and bikes can you keep up with in this thing?
Well, it’s a 600cc in-line four. She holds her own on the track. Top speed is 140 if that helps answer your question.
Does this fit for all fz6rs ? Year wise ? I have a 2014.
Yep, 2009-2017.
@@HalfClickUp you by any chance have a link to where u purchased from ? Thanks in advance. Really appreciate you 🙏
