bike all messed up

[hotrocker1985]

ok so i have an 88 fzr1000 and tonight i was riding it i pulled in the clutch going about 30mph and reved a little and i hear a noise like my motor was just falling apart and then it kinda sounded like it was knocking. the weird part is that when in gear (not running) the bike still rolls like in neutral. and now it wont start at all kinda like its binding up or something. does anyone have any ideas?

Any ideas?

Yeah, plenty.

The first being that you need to do a little of the detective work if we are going to be able to help you.


Any oil leaking? Chain still on the bike? And visible damage?..etc. etc.


Do a little more examination, and get back to us

[hotrocker1985]

nothing leaking, chain looks good, no visable damage. it will click the gears but it always feels like its in neutral

Maybe the clutch basket nut loosened?

I am not real familiar with the FZR 1000 but I believe there is a chain (internal) attached to the clutch basket that may have given up. As previously suggested, pull the clutch cover and start looking around.

Had the same problem turned out if was the connecting rod bearings 20$ times eight. But I disassembled the engine and installed them, shop labor ur lookin at 650-1000$ Sorry

[basstracker]

oh yeah probably ran low on oil

[hotrocker1985]

i know it didnt run low on oil and i would never send it to a shop. i am more then capable to tear into it if i had to

thanks for the help, i finally got to taking the cover off and my clutch and basket were in a bazillion pieces....... i think i found the problem . if i can figure it out i will post a couple pics
