I bought a wrecked 09 fz6r today with 2200. By what I can tell is I just did the first oil change on it today. When I am riding it and I come up to a stop and I pull the clutch in and rev the engine a little bit I can feel the transmission clunk. Feels like it's trying to engage. Right now it is not doing it at a complete stop. Note the handle bars are bent from the wreck.
help, please just bought a 09 fz6r

I'm guessing pretty hard. There no frame damage. The stator case has some deep scratches. I bought the bike with new plastics. But everything is running and working fine. No leaks from the bike. Just the weird transmission or clutch issue. Thanks for the help I will do the adjustments tomorrow.
Could the chain be slapping? There is internal drag in the drive train. When you goose it, perhaps it's putting all the chain slack from one side to the other. If you can push your chain up to where it touches the swingarm, you're beyond the 2" slack limit.
as already said check the clutch lever adjustment
but one thigs that does clunk when too loose is the chain so check the play in the chain
Is there a post on the forums on how to adjust the clutch lever? Or tell me the specs on how the clutch play and when it engages.
Yup, 10-15mm (.39-.59") measured at the ball at the end of clutch lever. I had mine too tight after I changed my levers and had problems. Gear wouldn't fully disengage. Keep it in the spec range and shouldn't have problems.
If it's a slight clunk or click when just lightly revving it with the clutch pulled in at a stop you should be fine. My bike does the same thing and has since day one. If it's not just a sound and it actually lurches forward that could be a different story.I've checked the clutch and chain both seem to be in range.
He lives! lol
Thank you! I've been worried had other people ride it everyone is saying it's just a clunk but doesn't move the bikeIf it's a slight clunk or click when just lightly revving it with the clutch pulled in at a stop you should be fine.

If it's just going into 1st it is perfectly normal. Just don't want bike to be able to surge forward when dropping into gear. I had my clutch lever too tight before and bike moved even when clutch was fully engaged. Adjusted per spec and voila.Thank you!

Just like everyone else said... The clutch.... If it sounds good when riding check the clutch lever and if possible get the clutch checked...
