That switch is a in gear safety switch, when the bike is in gear the motor will not turn over, pull the clutch lever and it allows the power to the starter. This stops the bike from running away, especially when it is on the side stand. This & Side stand safety switch are Mandatory for all street bikes from underwriters. 😊😊
If you haven't already, you should publish a list of the things you have done to your FZ6R. I have only just started watching your videos, and I know that you have done a chain/sprocket set, timing advance, fuel and exhaust, and levers. Would love to have a consolidated list of each mod, and even better, a link of where you got them!
I was thinking more like this list from a guy who built a cafe racer. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KXawD-3Y96bsKZVdrWOxU1zOkQ67XLROyY4Gauajxns/edit You could post a link to the list each time you swap parts or modify.
That switch on the clutch just lets the bike know when the clutch is pulled. The bike will only start in neutral or if the clutch is pulled for obvious reasons. So if you wanted to know whether or not it actually works, hit the starter when it's in gear, clutch out.
You're right, when you stall the bike accidentally on takeoff you can squeeze the clutch and start it back up without having to put the bike in neutral to start it
@@markgriffis5256 that’s actually pretty valuable info for the Fizzer Fam. We’ve all stalled in traffic and gone into panic mode trying to pull that half click up into neutral 😉
I have got a nice set of evotech's in black on my fazer. I did find that after a short period of time, the clutch got a bit tiring on my forearm and got tendinitis. So I started using 3 or 4 fingers and managed to twist the lever and I needed to replace it. Good riding on them when they was new. It hives you awsome feel and feed back especially with braided lines. Ride safe bruv. From the UK 🇬🇧
@HalfClickUp I did have to replace the brake lever due to anodising was showing bronze instead of black, but, I spoke to a salesman at evotech to buy a replacement and the dude gave me a free one and told me to keep the old one cos its no good to them. Bonus got a spare. I sent him photos by email and he happily replaced it. He sad that shouldn't happen. They even sent me an apology card and some gummie bears 🐻. I got a SWEET deal bruv.
@HalfClickUp yeah. Apparently Evotech equipment ones with a lifetime factory warranty. I only found that out from the dude on the phone. That's give me a thought, my lever adjusters cogs are worn out, I may ring them in the new year. Cheers bruv excellent idea 💡 👍
real purpose is safety. once I had it on tenere mal functioned and when I press and had a gear in it didn't start(but it should) so I had to put neutral to start.
Yep there are several newer Chinese options out there that are nicer and a bit pricier than the ones I just replaced, but this ASV deal was about on-par with some of those “higher end” Chinese price points.. couldn’t pass it up.
@@yusabayrakoglu3824 not sure.. but if that’s accurate it would be much wider than the thickness of a U.S. nickel, and that would be far too wide of a gap for proper clutch engagement.
Are you running R6 handlebars? I’ve started to hate the look of my dirt bike looking, stock handlebars. Did I just not look back in your videos far enough?
