Posted May 28, 201311 yr Is it me r are fazer gearboxes clunky first to second sumtimes third . And same comeing back down . Ive had the early fazer some call it the dark fader then ive had the fox eye and now I have the fazer fz6 . Its si annoying would it b the oil ???
May 28, 201311 yr Hi kearnsy, I also have a fz6 and the Yama clunk too! It's a reassuring clunk into first from neutral and a clunk from first to second. I did an oil change about 100 miles ago, gearbox still clunks. Reading many other posts it seems its just a trait of the fz6 gearbox. I find sometimes if I shift gently, ie low revs and do a slow smooth shift into 2nd from first it sometimes doesn't clunk.. Not much help sorry.. My advice, fit a nice exhaust to up the decibels and drown out the clunk
May 29, 201311 yr Assuming its the usual 'clunk' it shouldn't do damage, my FZ6 is reaching 30,000miles and its still going strong clunking aside between 1st-2nd gear. I assume its to do with the operation of the gearbox as it doesnt do it through the other gears. I put Silkolene Fully Synthetic in mine and official Yama filter. An oil change can only do the bike good but it hasnt stopped the clunk on mine.
May 30, 201311 yr Yam seem to getting better at this, as do Kwak. My 11 Fazer doesn't clunk at all and has a box that could grace a zook.
May 31, 201311 yr My 99 fazer sounds roughly like a meteorite hitting earth when going into 1st or 2nd gear. Any mechanic or petrol head I've spoken to about this tells me its a yam thing as iandouglas says above
May 31, 201311 yr Author Well after a few youtube video s and a bit off pratice "blipping" the trottle as they call it to match the revs works just hav to try get the teknike right Thanks for all the advice

June 2, 201311 yr my divvie: 0-1 KK EE RR LL UU NN KK 1-2 K E R LL UU NN KK 2 - 3 K E R L U N K 3-4 RLUNK 4-5 LNK Should I be worried that my SR is like that going down the gears (but not up)?
June 4, 201311 yr Notice the "CLUNK" when the engine and gearbox is cold from 1st to 2nd. After about 40 mins of riding less clunky but gear changes still smooth and possitve
