There will be lots more pics to come, and you got it bro, if she runs when I'm done I'm gonna beat it right back down to nothing what better place to do it than the dragstrip

Been busy...splitting the case this week end

You can still get a good service life out of a aluminum sprocket as long as you don't beat on it, you could expect about 10,000 on a pampered al sprocket vs 20,000 on steel Or if your me you expect a 20,000 miles service life on your bike as a whole and beat the holy chit out of...

And the entire transmission locked up shutting the bike down at about 45mph sliding. it still shifted fine but 2nd gear hasn't been right for about a month, it pops out then quickly pops back in gear in 2nd but other than that no shifting issues. Even with the 2nd gear issue it would still shift...

The shifter mechanism is all perfectly intact, so that's not it, but looking at it more I don't think its a shift fork after all, I don't have a clue what it is now lol but I'm going to end up splitting the case and fixing everything so I'm sure I will find out what it is in the process

Part 30 is outside the case its a little clip to hold wires back and that's accounted for so I'm thinking shift forks

I'm going to give it my best go and see what happens lol

Lol the damndest thing though, the SOB still runs! I rode it 10 miles home like this!!!

Pulled the clutch and found the broke disc...

Yeah I've collected most of the pieces of the case and if I had to guess that's the shift fork for 2nd gear

Just some random transmission bits I pulled out of the oil pan including part of a clutch disc....

Lmao hey my fz6 was still taken a licken and kept on ticken after 70,000 miles, a frame break, oil pan break and few other self inflicted issues. They really are incredible bikes, even with being thrashed! Just wish my fz1 was as strong :(

Lol I make quite a few runs to the scrap yard to make sure that don't happen. I take my frustrations out on my toys so they tend to get beat on pretty bad. But its begun, went and bought a motorcycle lift table to make the repairs easier.

Take it from someone who could be a motorcycle torture tester, someone who has broke more bikes than most people have owned, someone rode his fz6 through the gates of hell and back, 20,000 miles is nothing on a fz6.

I'm guessing when I was popping the clutch the chain jumped or something to cause it.

Oh yeah I'm almost positive its the chain that did the damage. Some in the process of rotating bike back from a left slide to a right slide the transmission locked up and when I pumped the clutch it finally broke free I stopped and oil was pouring out. I actually rode it home another 10miles...

I would say without a doubt the fz6 is a better built platform. Apparently the R1s and Fz1s from these year ranges are notorious for transmission issues stemming from the clutch. It has about the same size clutch disc as the Fz6 but with way more power so naturally they tend to burn up quick.

I blew it the F*** UP!!! Trying to drift it with a busted up clutch in no second gear. Somehow in the process the tranny got locked up and me popping the clutch ditched the chain and did this... I have a tennis ball size hole in my crankcase and this crazy SOB is gonna try to weld it up!!!

Lol well I didn't exactly mean to destroy this one I just wanted to see what the bike was made of. As for the clutch I toasted it being lined up with a 13' GSXR1000 and dusted him so the clutch was well worth shutting his big mouth up. The shift forks, tbh I don't have a clue how I bent them, I...
