Hello .. While changing the clutch friction plates i read in the serice manual of Haynes that on X models 1999 onward there are two blue coded friction plates that one goes first and the other last... Brown ones in the middle.... This is done to keep discs fron rattlin in the basket ...

ok its my second time attempting this type of post, i got a 1999 black bird from my uncle when he passed away, he never rode it and it only has 2,000 miles. so i started with the fuel system to see if it would start at least, cleaned the injectors, new fuel pump...etc. and bam what do you know...

Morning all, Took the bird out for the first ride in 3-4 weeks and the clutch bite point has gone from the usual near end of travel point to just off the handlebar. Is this the symptom of the slave cylinder rod sticking often mentioned, or is this something else? Bike has done 63k miles (2000...

I've been chasing an engine/drive chain like noise for a while. Noise occurs under load only. It appeared after a minor self-service - oil and coolant change I changed sprockets and chain - noise still there Changed oil 10w-40 twice - noise still there Several suggestions including exhaust...

Looks like it's time for a new clutch, engagement is happening only at the last bit of lever travel. The bike has 88K Kms on it and some of them have probably been hard. So my question is while I'm in there what should I replace? My order list so far is: 1) Friction disks (5 & 2) 2) Springs...

This is weird: Started up the XX and was going to ride away. As I put it in first gear, engine stopped with a jerk. Tried again, same result. Noticed that the clutch lever feel a bit limp. Not totally, but there's no "squeeze point" where I can feel it working on the clutch. Have checked...

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has had any gearbox issues and know if there is a known issue with the gearbox, my bike has started making loud clunking and clicking noises when pulling away in first gear when pulling the throttle at first it was quiet and the next day it was really loud, we took...

Hello All, I am moving soon and need to clean out the garage as too say!! I have a 1998 Engine that I took out of my bike that would be great for someone who needs extra parts etc, the engine is pulled apart as I wanted to find out what broke and it was the 3# piston, no other damage to the...

Hi Guys, Search the forum but cannot find the answer to this one. I bleed the clutch on my stock standard 97 Bird after a period of sitting in the garage. My issue now is that when on the centre stand, I pull in the clutch handle the bike goes into gear as per normal but when pulled in a...

Hi all, new bird owner here. Got my first bird just a week ago and it came along with a rare clunk from somewhere in the engine or clutch. It's not the constant knocking sound that is associated with cold clutch, but something more along the lines of louder clunk/thud. We had the bike idling...

:crap: Ok does anybody know the socket size to take off the center clutch nut, it is bigger than 23mm.??

I'm new to the site, got a 97 bird. maybe I haven't searched in the right area but here's my problem: The friction zone in the clutch has made it all the way to the grip so it won't fully engage even when it's pulled as far as it will go. So far I've been able to shift but it is much more...

I just got this bike in March so I've been doing as much maintenance as I can personally do. Didn't have any problems just doesn't seem to not pull up like I would think it should so I changed all the plates today and now I have zero pressure in the clutch lever. I bled it like normal(too many...

This is my first post here at CBRXX... so bear with me :) You can skip the history part and go right to the bottom to see my question. First of all, what a great and helpful community! It was very relieving for me to find this forum with so many contributors. A little history: I'm in my...

back story: Towards the end of last season, my clutch started acting funny around the friction zone... Full release it felt okay, and engaged it was tight (no slipping), but as i came across the friction zone, it would shudder and engage unevenly... somewhat unnerving...:mad: so i just assumed...

Hi there, When I set off from a standstill, there is a noticeable clunk/click from the front sprocket area before the play is taken up and I move off. When the bike is on the centre stand, in gear with the engine off, the wheel can be rotated back and forth maybe an inch/inch and a half at the...

Hey guys, Ðuane from northeast ohio here... 2001 XX with just over 50,000 miles. I have noticed that the clutch is engaging very harshly and unevenly from a stop.. and seems to be getting progressively worse. as I release to the friction point, it jerks and tugs as I begin to roll. I'm...

Story... of possibly being screwed. I have a 94' VFR, and a 97' Magna, I needed to upgrade for some more power. Being devoted to Honda's, obviously the Blackbird was the choice. Anyway, I go to check the bike out, it was a 99 listed for 3000, with 11000 miles.(Instantly draws my attention...

Been out for a while, deployed to Afghanistan, just got back home. I am needing a Stator and Clutch Cover for a 97' 1100XX. Anyone know where I can get one without breaking my already tight bank account?
