Clutch

I just put a new clutch in but I'm not getting the pressure in my leaver.
The clutch is movie ( cover is still off) but not as much as I'd like.
Any ideas?

Re: 2nd gear slip

I'm ordering some parts and just wanted to make sure.
The 87 and the 88 have the same engine right?
Thanks

Re: carb problem

No I did not sync or adjust the float bowls , mainly because I don't know how. I did clean the main jets.
Looks like I'll be taking them off again.

Thanks

Re: 94 FZR 1000 trouble

The 1000 has to turn over fast to start.
Its a big engine and a small battery.
Mine does the same thing if the battery isnt full.

Try jumping it from car

Re: Miss

OK, so I took the fairings off, moved the radiator out of the way. Took all the leads off the plugs, tried testing them with mixed results, so I replaced all the plugs. But Number one cylinder is not firing (runs the same with lead disconnected). So, took the tank off and I see the plugs go into two...
