Yamaha MT09 FJ09 FZ09 Clutch Maintenance: Removal, Inspection, and Reinstallation

[@raresbirzu2436]

Nice to see someone actually caring about his bike. And thanks for your tutorials! It helped me changing the air filter and sparkplugs.

[@Calvinm]

Happy to help! Glad you have found the videos useful 👍

[@pierrelaflamme3670]

Hey thanks! I feel confident I can do mine just based on this video! Explained it well! I appreciate it

[@brysonherge1552]

Useful video and would love to see the slipper clutch install or the repair on the rubber spacers with the loud clutch at idle/no tension. That fix is daunting.

[@raytokens2291]

Great video, AGAIN. I want to slipper clutch my tracer 9, but I'm going to wait till you do it lol. Stay safe and keep 2 wheels down bruv.

[@Calvinm]

Thank you for the kind comment 😄 slipper clutch is coming but probably not this riding season. Gonna abuse the stock one some more haha

[@westondifranco9313]

Great maintance video. I'd love to own an fj or tracer someday.

[@Calvinm]

Thanks! I’d highly recommend the FJ, it’s loads of fun.

[@fudenciojp9676]

i am doing the XSR900 Slipper Clutch on my 2015 fj-09 order everything just waiting for the parts!

[@Calvinm]

Oh that’ll be a nice upgrade. Thinking of doing the same to mine soon.

[@dogucanergin123]

Bro I have 2015 mt 09 and it has clutch noise too much and also when it’s hot it doesn’t want to work it’s working but with I need to give a gas bit do you have any idea what’s wrong?

[@wislenramos]

Same problem here mate. Did you fix it?

[@Tuan659]

When I chancing last time the oil o ring falt inside And now i cant find it anymore How bad is it?

[@gradhakr4]

Nice video. Thanks. I have the same 2015 FJ 09, same color 🙂. Interested in the slipper clutch mod too. Look forward to your video.

[@Calvinm]

You have good taste in motorcycles 😉 slipper clutch will certainly be done, but probably next riding season.

[@MrBermoudakias]

Hi just a question can you adjust the factory chain tensioner with the main bolt in the middle???

[@olafzijnbuis]

Are you sure you used the correct oil? When an oil contains friction modifiers it is not intended for a wet clutch application. Friction modifiers are often used in oil for cars.

[@Calvinm]

Yes, I used the exact same oil that was used in its last oil change. 👍 We’re all good.

[@olafzijnbuis]

@@Calvinm Ok. I had a Honda CBX-1000 Prolink from 1982 for 23 years. I always used MOTUL 10W40 half-synthetic oil. Never had any problems. But I would have tried another oil immediately if I experienced clutch slippage. And (for all other readers)... Only use oil that is certified for motorcycles.

[@bikersquest]

Perhaps the previous owner/s used car oil.

[@mr.notsure9679]

I want to see that slipper clutch go in, I thought about upgrading my clutch in my fz09 to a slipper clutch, maybe. But after an ecu flash and being able to remove to engine breaking. I'm not so sure it's really needed.

[@Calvinm]

Interesting! I didn’t know an ecu flash could do that. I mainly want the slipper to eliminate the clutch slip for good and reduce the effort on the clutch lever.

[@mr.notsure9679]

@Calvinm eliminating the engine breaking helps a lot. I'm not getting any slipping out of my clutch yet, but eliminating the engine breaking has made a big difference for me.

[@Hreba13]

Hello, do you know how much oil is included in the forks of the Tracer 900 gt 2020? Thank you

[@Carlos-ip2ir]

Did you have a low growl when the clutch was released....i have a 15 fz09 and has a slipping issue like that but i also have a concern for the low growl when i have the clutch pulled in no noise ...less then 4000 miles i do like picking up the front wheel and not sure what the last owner did with it i only put 1000 milea so far

[@ryanmchugh5881]

Hi how were you able to push the clutch mechanism to remove the cable wire? Mine won’t seem to move at all.

[@seanyessmann]

I think he said he loosened the cable at the lever end by a couple turns before removing the cable wire.

[@daniellozano6073]

Hi Calvin, thanks for sharing. Very good video. I have the same bike in the UK and am now considering installing the XSR900 Slipper Clutch on my FJ09 (2016). Have you done it? I'm collecting all the info and all the parts I need.

[@BESFLIX]

Excellent thanks brother 👍🏿 🙏 👌 🙌

[@Calvinm]

Thank you! 😄

[@andyincalimoto843]

how many miles did your bike have when it started slipping and or when you made this video?

[@Calvinm]

The clutch was slipping when I bought the bike at 54k km’s. (33,000 miles). This video was filmed around 56k km’s.

[@CesarPayano-k3o]

Perfecto necesito cambiar el mio GRACIAS

[@gianniiacopini9864]

judging from your video, the primary driven gear has too much play and seems to be shot; I don't think the play has nothing to do with the rattle at idle you mentioned as long it isn't under any load... Instead, you could probably hear a sort of rumble (and a vibration on the pegs) when cruising around and go off the throttle: the primary driven gear is on load and - as the rubber cushions inside are most likely shot - you should get that noise at 2000-3000 rpm. About the sharp edges of the disc, I think that they should go away from the bike.

[@Calvinm]

Your most likely right! After reading more about the sound the FJ makes I think it’s very likely the rubber cushions are shot. I will likely be replacing them next season to sort out that annoying sound. Thanks for the insights 👍

[@gianniiacopini9864]

@@Calvinm it's hard to guess, but looking at the steel plates they seem to be in perfect shape... If the springs were in perfect shape too, I wonder if the cork spots of the friction discs were - in the past - came in contact with car oil and so contaminated as they absorb oil; with correct oil change afterwards, they were slowly "recovering". Working them with scotch brite and changing the mounting order could help generating more grip, also. It's kind of too young bike to have that issue. My MT09 (FZ09, same bike) has 80.000km and never had a slippage and still going strong. I will change everything next winter, just to be safe on long trips abroad
