Hello mate I used this video to change my clutch plates and springs on my FZ400 with great results so thank you very much :)

Lean the bike with the side stand on a slope so that it's at 45 degrees and the oil will stay in the engine. Saves time and effort!

Cracking vid, job done no fuss and easy to follow, I'll b giving this a go soon

Nice one mate! Converted my Fazer and this vid is useful for clutch maintenance . Thanks.

You’re very welcome!

you see the casing beside the clutch to the right would I have to drop the oil to replace the gasket there or no

Nice video. thanks.

Forgot to mention torque wrench settings. Other than that good video.

Excellent. Thanks

forgot to add at the start to drain the bikes engine oil and at the end of the installation the torque setting for the clutch friction plate springs which is 8newton metres. Also caseing bolt settings too. other than that good vid mate. shall be doing mine soon as its slips when i hit 7-8000rpm

How many plates are there for the FZ6? I saw 6 springs but only 5 plates? I guess it doesn't refer to the number of gears then? Thanks for posting this excellent guide!

I didn't bother with much oiling but I did make one mistake, after the anti judder spring goes the friction plate with the larger internal diameter. Then the steel plate and so on, first time I had the larger internal friction plate second last. Also make sure when u have the cap on and bolts tightened that u pull the clutch to make sure it moves., and that the cap is fully up against the last plate, it only goes on one way

There are different size plates in the set?

did you have to take the oil out off the engine before you start?

Firstly, great video, it helps a lot. I`m going to do mine this weekend. How many friction plates are there in total?

did you use a torque wrench when tightening the bolts or did you just judge it yourself?

Thanks 4 your help kind regards

@db192

Hello Benjy sorry about the late reply. Yes, the friction plate you are asking about has a thinner width to accommodate the anti-judder spring. This friction plate is the 3 plate to go into the clutch assembly. So 1 normal friction, one steel then the thinner width and spring go in then continue with steel, friction, steel etc.

Hi Ashley. I have a 2001 Fazer. Over the last 2-300 miles, I've noticed she's knocking in low revs, low gears (-4000). Do you think this is the clutch? It's certainly gear related as I throttle off, the symptom stops. I power out of a bend knock knock knock. How would you investigate?

im having this problem with my fazer s 600 2002. I took off the cover to the front sprocket (where your clutch cable goes inside) and tightened the bolt holding the sprocket in place. The nut was super loose only held on my the bent washer. This solved all my low rev *knocking/rumbling/vibrating* feeling in your ankles for a whole 24 hours before returning. I am now about to take the cover off and have a look for a second time but deeply considering taking off my clutch cover and investigating hence watching these videos. Did you ever find the solution to your problem? Thanks.

Great video mate. Our 1999 Fazer was laid up for quite a while(6years in fact). off cylinders 1&2 on firing order 1234. Off cylinders 3&4 on firing order 1243 and 1&2 come on. Have replaced plugs battery and CDI unit. Still no joy. Any ideas? No hair left!!!

Hello Imad Banna, Thanks for the question, the clutch will sometimes slip under hard acceleration especially when it's cold. This is usually a sign of a worn clutch. Slipping is when the revs will rise quickly with less increase in speed where the plates aren't gripping properly.

Hello, you can adjust the clutch cable where it goes into the clutch housing. There are forums where they explain how to do this. It takes up the slack in the cable then you can fine tune it at the handlebars.

If you have replaced the clutch then you may have to adjust your lever cable. Over time it may have been tightened to compensate for the wearing clutch, now you have a new one in the bike the cable needs to be adjusted. Try winding the adjuster on the handlebars all the way in to see if that makes a difference, then wind it out a bit at a time until it feels right. Give it a try and let me know how you get on.

Hello Tim Jones, The clutches are pretty tough on the fazers, typical Yamaha build quality. This clutch was changed around 40,000. Sometimes they last even longer but I'm partial to a few wheelies when the time calls for it so it may have had more wear than normal use.

Inside the basket I found 9 friction plates (one of them with a bigger internal diameter to accommodate the anti judder spring) and 8 steel plates. As the friction plate kit I bought from Ebay (£34) which was supposed to be dedicated to my bike only contained 8 same size friction plates I just used the old bigger internal diameter one again. I also replaced the steel plates (£36 from Wemoto). I'm happy to say the bike runs sweet again... Back to practising wheelies lol Thanks again for that tutorial DB 192
