GIXXERUK Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 cable is easier, the hydraulic can sometimes get air in it or moisture as its hygroscopic and then goes spongy which means bleeding it from the slave cylinder a worn clutch just feels like your riding the pedal really, its just two plates slipping, friction and pressure sometimes they do just collapse, either the fingers on the pressure plate give way or the friction plate disintergrates (usually from too many drag style starts) the moto gp bike clutches are made to do one start as they need to save weight Gibberish how would you know yours sounds ok, there have been a few reports i've read of zed clutches failing earlier than they should although it is only a few i'm suprised you dont know the basics liam, i bet you think suck, bang, blow is a porn site Mate, I buy cars drive them, come on here and thats it . I don't know **** all about cars and how to fix them. Thats why i always bought a car in warranty so I can just chuck the keys at the sales guy and say ''its broke, fix it'' thats sometimes i hate knowing as you know what every little noise is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIXXERUK Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I have had my zed for 6 months now - its an 02 import with approx 36k on clock. When a friend drove it the other day he commented on how high the clutch bite is; I hadnt really thought anything of it before but he is right - the bite is on the last 5% of the pedal. Is this common with zed's or an early sign that my clutch is on its way out? Is the clutch self adjusting or can it be done manually? there isnt any adjustment on the clutch, it is hydraulic so if it feels spongy then the fluid may need bleeding, the bite has quite high on the zeds that i have driven tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
