So I bought a 2010 Kawasaki z1000 from a friend who told me the clutch is going out. Now i have ridden this bike a few times for a day or so at a time so I know the bike is solid. So I go to pick up the bike and the clutch is barely engaging to give the bike any power. I barely make it across town and when I get off and get back on to try and get it to my house..
I start the bike
Pull clutch lever
Drop into first (N) green light goes off
At this point if I were to release the clutch lever without any throttle the motorcycle should cut off. It doesn't. It just keeps idling... the engine sounds great, I can shift through all gears ⚙ but the clutch is just ruined I guess. So I ordered some parts online I hope my mechanic can fix it. Any suggestions are welcome 🙏
