I really had to get used to the clutch of the FZ6. If I let it go nothing happens until it grips and then the range is very short. It works well for driving fast but in the city and filtering through traffic it's a bit too agressive. I adjusted the clutch cable but it makes the free play larger than it should be.
I wonder if something can be done to make the range a bit larger. Maybe lengthening the lever (that connects to the clutch cable) on top of the clutchcase/gearbox?

Maybe I'm just used to it. I think it's good with a tight range. I ride pretty hard as much as I can so I want the bike to engage quickly. The only 'clunk' I get is when I first start the bike up and drop it into 1st. This is because the two shafts are out of synch. Here's an informative article I found in another post: http://www.vf750fd.com/blurbs/shifting.html

Barely pulling in the clutch with a little throttle blip works wonders on this bike. Smooth as an automatic tranny. Takes alot of throttle control.
