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 back and forth play at the shaft. I am not sure how this manifests itself in the other gears as I was busy assembling and disassembling. The transmission works great, solid, all six gears, but there is this lag when you let off the throttle and resume. That makes life a little difficult with all the power. I think the previous owner put it through some hard shifting. I have replaced the sprockets and chain and removed the clutch and replaced the basket needle bearing which got rid of the rattling sound it was making. So what is this disconcerting play that does not seem to be the gears themselves but all of them equally? Whoever knows about this let me know.
It is a totally new (for me)driving experience and I want to get all the bugs out.
This is off the subject but when down shifting, it goes into something of a neutral and that is new to me having only driven older bikes and with this I do not get the really engaged down shift. Thanks for any help.
