clutch contact point problem! please help!

Post by fzrcrystal »

hey guys,

so i'm fairly new to my fzr1000, would like to start doing some work on her myself,

first item:

my clutch (hydraulic), engages very close to the bar. how do i get it to engage farther away from the bar? what could cause this? will it fix itself if i just add more dot 3 fluid (it seems a little low)

let me know!

Hi Guys and Girls,
First post here and very new to the FZR world. I have the opposite problem with my clutch, the biting point seems to be almost at the furthest out the lever can be. Any advice would be gratefully appreciated.
Regards,
GG
