zx6rrob Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 Hi, my ex`s brother has a k4 gsxr thousand and has recently been having a bit of trouble. When launching hard from a standing start, every now and then the clutch makes a nasty noise and grabs severely. Enough to nearly chuck him on his arse at the recent run what ya brung. I`ve had the clutch apart,checked the basket for any nicks or marks, fitted new ebc plates and heavy duty springs, which seemed to cure it for a bit,but then it soon returned to its old tricks. Slip the clutch hard from a standstill and all of a sudden you get a clunky noise and the clutch bites hard and lifts the front. I`m pulling me bloody hair out!!! Any help will be much appreciated. Cheers all, Rob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basil Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 Do these have a "slipper clutch" i forget the offical Suzuki title back torque limiter or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriGGer Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 Nope, no slipper in the K3/4, check the condition of the concave spring washer and flat washer at the back of the plates in the basket, warping/damage can cause problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers all, Rob. Hi Rob, I have a limited edition zk4 1000. mine does exactly the same. Dont have to give it many revs before it does it from standstill. has scared the S**T out of me a couple of times, either bogs down or tries to fire the front into the sky. Please let me know what it is when you solve the fault. Cheers Chris Sutton Coldfield chriswigley1@yahoo.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
