You have an 08 fz6 don't you?I would call the dealer you bought it from it should'nt cost you a dime.it should still be under warranty.

 

[champion221elite]

Does the same thing happen if you start out in second gear?

Like Shreveport said, your bike is a 2008 and likely still under warranty. Take it back to the dealer and let them figure it out.

 

[and1_1221]

yeah not matter the gear it wont grab... after i got it home i put it on the center stand and the wheel doesnt even turn

 

[Scorphonic]

because its still in gear...hence it not moving.

Dont try to fix it yourself. Get the shop to look after it and dont worry about money, it wont cost you a cent.

Wow. :welcome:to the forum.

 

[DefyInertia]

So do you think you actually burnt it out (i.e., beat the crap out of it) or do you think it simply malfunctioned?

 

[Gilo-FZ6]

This might sound stupid..is the chain still on??

 

[and1_1221]

i am not sure it seemed like the fictions zone was getting smaller and smaller the more i rode! so i am not sure when it just went

 

[and1_1221]

yeah it is still on

Is the clutch cable okay or did it fray and then break? Is there any resistance when you squeeze the clutch , or is it only free play?

"You have an 08 don't you..." WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?!?! Is this a new prob with our year bikes, or just a fact pertinent to his warranty...?

Meaning that it is still under warranty.

no the clutch lever and cable itself is still operational, its jsut that it wont slip into gear, if u will. like the free wheeling unit doesnt lock with the gears

Quick question and you may have done this already: Did you check the oil level?

 

[alanrim]

You haven't put a slippy type additive into the engine have you. Slick50 type stuff ?

Or have you changed the oil recently and gone for something a bit different to the recommended?

6 posts and your bike is broke.

You did get the YAMAHA FZ6 and not the HarleyFZ6 didn`t you :Ø) ?

I hope you get it fixed very soon and welcome to the group.
