seeking advice. When starting from stop the bike will shudder for a second or two occasionally, especially in excessive heat. also when downshifting this occurs. But not all the time. Is it time for a new clutch?
Not sure if this is b/c of cable adjustment or worn clutch, but when I coast the bike with clutch in, the bike isn't so smooth, so still a bit of engagement. But running out of cable length. Have 18 k on 05 zx6r. Any help appreciated.

in neutral;
clutch in - no noise
clutch out - mechanical noise that seems to be getting louder every few weeks
recently changed to Comp 4 15/40 which has made the gearbox much smoother
i think i'd take the suspect bearing out and spin it with a drill or something.. see if it makes noise.. sometimes that shit is the problem, sometimes it's sound transmission thru case webbing.

fucked up ass b-more traffic kickin that bikes ass, eh? lol
18K is a pretty good amount of time on a clutch.. especially city riding.
i would at least inspect the clutch stack and check the anti-chatter rings.. see if they're still there and whatnot.
