i got a 99 zx6r and i have had clutch issues since the day i bought the bike.. my clutch started slipping so i replaced the fibers... lasted a few months then started slipp9ing again..

so i replaced the fibers and steels.. but this time i went with an after market fiber just too see.. well today i was holding some 1st gear bp better than ever before and CRACK clutch blew up and came down super hard..

I guess my poiint is anyone have a rough time with these bikes? Im thinking i should just sell it and buy an f4i or a gixxer, something that everyone rocks and we know can handle it..

 

yikes

 

just dont ever rev coasters and you'll be good.
besides, its way more gangster to shut the bike off and come to a stall, then restart it

 

Im gonna recommend the gixxer, but if you chose to keep the kawi you're gonna need stiffer clutch springs........

 

turns out i completly blew the basket apart.. the whole clutch assembly ended up in about 10000 peices... my flywheels all screwd to hell, basicly im shopping for a new motor on ebay..

all i can say is wow, i got a friend take some pictures that illl post when he sends them to me..

 

yeah clutch basket and clutch boss pitt after a few thousand wheelies and ur fibers wedge and steels wedge then wha laa kaboom. it could have been treated if you examind your clutch parts before just replacing fibers. a.k.a "preventive maintence"

 

s)-(it makes me want to pull the basket on my kawi just to see. i did see a motor from an 02 on ebay a day or two ago. there's usually a 99-02 motor on there every other week. far as i know about the motors themselves the 98-9 motors no chrome sleves the 00-2 motors are sleved but the pistons are tight as hell in the motor making them potentially slower. good luck with the search
