asjkhadfg Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I'm having a weird issue with my FZ. WHen I put it up on the rear stand in neutral, the bike is fine. As soon as I put the bike in 1st gear, with the clutch fully squeezed, it causes the rear tire to spin. It will continue to spin like it is fully engaged in 1st, until you stop the tire manually, or you shift into neutral. What could be causing my rear tire to spin even though the clutch is pulled in?

twotone Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 All bikes do that, just a little oil friction, absolutely nothing to worry about Go get a coffee and relax? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Moderator sorkyah Posted September 23, 2015 Global Moderator Share Posted September 23, 2015 Cenrifugal force caused by the clutch spinning in oil same mechanics that allow an automatic transmission to move via the torque converter ATGATT... ATTATT, two acronyms I live by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ralph Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Totally normal many spin even in natural just oil drag pulling things around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beemer Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Mine does the same thing, it's normal. I recommend you leave it in neutral. 8-| Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asjkhadfg Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 Thanks for the replies everyone. I compared to my buddy's r6s and his did not spin like mine so I thought there might be something wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I compared to my buddy's r6s and his did not spin like mine so I thought there might be something wrongI am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong, but I think that is because the R6 has a slipper clutch and we do not.

rick Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 My Futura has a Slipper clutch - the back wheel will do the same If the R6's chain is stiff or just caked with cain lube, that might be enough to stop the automatic transmission effect that's happening inside the clutch plates - even oil brands/viscosity/synth vs. dino can come in to play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member avanti Posted October 13, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted October 13, 2015 Sure, as said repeatedly... oil drag. Cars don't run the clutch wet so this is alien to bike riders with wet clutches at first. Notice, too that the bike tends to "jump" a bit when put into first sometimes with the clutch pulled... same/same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregjet Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Oil is at it's most viscous ( draggy) when cold. You should find that the drag decreases or disappears as it heats up. If not may be worth checking you clutch cable tension setup first. Bolts and nuts all over these bikes being reported as too tight, too loose or stripped so worth a look just in case. I have seen one report of the clutch basket main nut not being done up properly. Go forth and modify my son...go forth and modify... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
