Installing a New Clutch Cable and Levers Yamaha FZ6 S2

[@TheGorillaBiker]

Do you like maintenance videos like this? My next video will have better camera angles and such I have a head mount sorted and I'll actually use the second camera next time! Anyway please leave a like and subscribe if you enjoyed it! I also enjoy comments 94.7% of the time so leave them too! Thanks for watching!

Top tip for this work: just attach the new cable to the old one using some tape.... then, just pull the old out and the new will do the same twists and turns and stay in place! ;) no need to dissassemble half of the bike!

[@TheGorillaBiker]

I've done that since also but I prefer feeding it thru myself. No real reason 😂 Disassembling half the bike as you say was to show how to do exactly that also.

Nice video, I’ve been think about changing the levers on both my Tracer and the FJR. After watching this I’ll definitely have a go. Thanks for sharing.

[@TheGorillaBiker]

Ah just the levers is easy peasy man you'll have it done in no time :) thanks for watching :)

Looks good mate, camera angles worked great 👍🏻

[@TheGorillaBiker]

Not so sure myself I think I could have used the DSLR to better effect but live and learn eh?

[@Yamalover78]

Thanks a lot, great video- how to. I have te get mine and I will place them just like you did. 👍🏻

[@TheGorillaBiker]

Thanks glad you liked it :) When you are just be careful with the brake switch :)

Levers look good mate

[@TheGorillaBiker]

Gracias amigo. Few more bits to do to it then I'll be happy with it :) Must get an exhaust too!

[@HippoDrones]

@@TheGorillaBiker Ooo... ride by noise test old vs new then? :-)

[@TheGorillaBiker]

Haha it'll have to be done alright!! :) I think it's illegal not to?

[@HippoDrones]

It is def in the rules! :D

My clutch is very hard so wondering is it problem with cable or either with clutch plates? What do you think? THanks!

[@TheGorillaBiker]

The first thing I;d check is the clutch cable lubrication, get some gt85 and try lube it with that. Otherwise if you've never changed your springs your clutch plates could be sticking if they're old so I'd pop them out and inspect them, I have a video up on how to change the plates if you want to see how to inspect them.

@@TheGorillaBiker Got bike with 11.500 miles on it. Put already 2000 miles this season. Clutch doesn't slip but also what is weird it's pulling at the end, not at the middle how suppose to be. Not sure that will keep this bike more than one season so probably wont do plates. But will try to lube it! Thanks!

[@hunterman600cc]

How long did you run yours? Mine just popped on me after almost 70k mi.

[@TheGorillaBiker]

The clutch cable? Ehhhhh I think it was 32000km was the first change. Maybe the climate here is harder on them that'd be the longest I've ever gotten out of one! :)

@@TheGorillaBiker I'm pretty good about keeping mine wet. I'm in WI, and ride in rain (not tsunami's) and have been forced to ride in snow. Record is -8 f for just over an hour each way. This bike is a TANK! Love this thing, can't kill it.

[@TheGorillaBiker]

@@hunterman600cc yeah me too, I suppose there's a lot different too, you have more straight roads over in the US so less gear changes might affect it etc ...plus I change things when they're like 60-70% used up cus I'm way too particular about things like that 😂 -8!! Haha I'd stay in bed I hate cold :P I loved mine, still kinda regret not keeping it tbh!

I think someone likes blue

[@TheGorillaBiker]

Guilty.

[@benk3571]

Do you need to provide a certificate from the lever manufacturer

[@TheGorillaBiker]

Nope. There is no testing for bikes in Ireland
