Can anyone tell me anything before I have to take the bike to the shop I have a 2014 fz6r and I don't have no acceleration while in first gear or second it won't take off any suggestions
Anybody knows what's goin on

- Start date
Doesn't sound like an issue to me. If you don't have no acceleration you're good to go. (Sorry, calling out your double negative)
In all seriousness, I think your question is a bit vague. When you say you don't have any acceleration what do you mean? It doesn't move at all? How many miles? Do you have any mods? Buy new/used? These are the kinds of details that are going to give you a different answer.
If you bought brand new, and are having issues, it should be under warranty, so no problem getting it fixed.

It has like 200 miles on it and it's like when I'm letting off the clutch and pulling the gas back it jus revs the engine up very high and I do have a warranty but not quite sure if it would cover the problem
Check your clutch adjustment, it sounds like it is way too tight. This would be covered under warranty, but should be a quick fix. Find it hard to believe that this would pass a dealer prep.

I did and it jus takes off really slow I jus rode it a few hours ago and it didn't have this problem but maybe I should jus see what the warranty dies for it

Ok that probably is the problem so u think it should be kind of loose
It will cover it. Any reputable dealer will also not give you a hard time about a bike with so few miles having issues.
I didn't say loose, but if the clutch cable is too tight, it will disengage without having to pull the clutch lever, thus not giving the transmission full power. That is what I would try. Check the owners manual for proper lever free play.

Ok bet thanks bro I really appreciate yo help I was really getting frustrated for a minute
Sure, let us know if we can help anymore. That is what this forum is about.
Actually supposed to be 1/4 to 3/8 free play. I set mine about 5/16 right in the middle.

yep, good catch, it is spec'd in the owners manual... throttle is the 1/8" I was thinking of.... clutch .39-.59 inches
This sounds seriously wrong for a bike with 200 miles, id be back at the stealer for sure ripping them about how i bought a new bike to avoid this exact problem and that you want it fixed and the whole thing gone over with a fine tooth comb so you dont have to worry about it dying on you.

lol... sadly, I did a 2nd gear takoff the other day.... some lady waved me out of a busy intersection and I went.... slowly... then was like, oh... dummy... too late, feathered clutch and lots of throttle. Haven't done that in along time
