Okay guys I finally got my 2013 FZ1 back on the road. It was a project bike I bought that had been laid over and bent the forks and did a little cosmetic damage. Bike has 3400 miles on it.
Anyways, when shifting from neutral to first after starting the bike up I get a nice big clunk. I'm guessing chain needs to be adjusted. What is the best way to set these chains properly (not how to adjust the chain, but best method for getting the play just right)? I don't have a service manual and I know factory specs are often a little on the tight side.
Also, when sitting in neutral after just firing the bike up there is some noise from the bottom end. When you pull the clutch in it goes away. I know some of the older R1s and R6s and CBR's were notorious for making noise when in neutral and it was just the nature of the beast. I was curious if this is normal or if it's something I need to look into.
Thanks,
Spencer
