Clutch Problems : Kawasaki ZX Forums: Kawasaki Ninja Forum

Hello Everyone,

The issue that I am having is that I dont have any clutch pressure (brakes are fine). When I start bike and put it in first it lunges forward and just dies.

Can someone shine some lite on what the problem might be and how to resolve it.

Thanks in Advance!

check the fluid level and bleed the clutch to see if it got air in it somehow.

Its a second hand bike. Its a 91 with 16k miles. Ride aggressive at times but nothing out of hand. Its been down for about two months now.

Is there an easy way to bleed the clutch?

Thanks in Advance

is the cable ok??
could be that the cable is broken and therefor the clutch is not separated when u put the bike into first. see if when u pull the clutch in, the lttl lever on the outside of the transmission is actually movin or not

the cable is attached to that and that part is located towrds the bottom of the bike i m sure u know............ just check if it moves when u pull the clutch

Erm... on the big Kwaks they have hydraulic NOT cable operation on the clutch

but i don't think 91's had hydrolic clutches.

All ZX11 (from 1990) always had hydraulic clutch.

clutch pads worn...... did it happen suddenly?

It did happen suddenly. Was fine one day and down the next. She runs but the clutch wont engage.

Im interested in putting her up for sale if anyone is interested let me know and I will post some pics and give any info that is needed.

Thanks in Advance.
