Hello,
I own a 1995 ZX-6E with 99,400 miles. Recently, the clutch started slipping, so I replaced the plates and springs. Changing the plates helped with the slippage at lower RPMs; however, the clutch still slips badly beginning at around 6000 RPM. Also, if I let the clutch out very slowly, the bike begins to shake before it starts moving.
Well, I took out the plates again, and I made sure they were in properly (everything was torqued to spec as well). And I replaced the clutch cable. Still, the problem remains.
Does anybody have any ideas what the next step to take is? My friend tells me that I should replace the entire clutch assembly (housing, hub, plate), but to do so would be expensive. Basically, if the plates and the clutch cable are not the problem, what would be the next part you would inspect or replace? Any help or suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks
