Hey everyone,
Just picked up my 2016 and have experienced a few weird instances of my clutch acting weird.
I know there have been 2014+ problems of clutch rattle, but let me try and explain what happens.
About 4-5 times on the ride home (2 hour ride)
While upshifting,
upon releasing the clutch after the upshift
All revs dropped, like the clutch was still disengaged. When this happened I immediately pulled in the clutch to prevent something ugly, and while clutch is pulled in, I heard rattling coming from the clutch, as if you could actually hear it spinning.
I'm wondering if it could be as simple as the shift pedal being WAY too high from the factory. Maybe I wasn't giving it a strong upshift... but then again, not sure why I would hear all of the rattling with the clutch pulled in, like the gears were sticking or something.
Anyway.. All downshifts were rock solid, and the bike is flawless beyond the weird instance.
My bro has a 2015 z1000 and I'll see if he can recreate since he's used to the setup after he rides mine.
Has anyone experienced something similar?
