Hello. I just bought a 2016 fz07 that has a bad clutch. The clutch was what I thought was good up until I took it to a shop for a check up, the guy explained that the clutch was going out. Wasn't good, wasn't bad. So I would like to replace the plates and steels. By myself. I've looked everywhere and cant find any videos of how to do it. Nor can I find any kits. I dont know what kit to buy. There's so many that I cant tell the difference between a $100 kit vs a $200 kit. I've seen some go for up to$600. Can anyone help me with this? Thank you.

Just a thought....maybe look into slipper clutch since you have to replace it. (Yes, I know it's more $)

Do I really need a slipper clutch on an fz 07? I just need plates and clutches. Your talking about a whole new basket right?

Fz07 has so much engine breaking....I had rear wheel lock up on me especially in the rain. If I'm correct slipper clutch could help with that.

I wish someone with better knowledge will chime in here.

I'm quite sure you have to replace entire basket.

For reference only:

Suter Yamaha FZ07 Slipper Clutch 15-18

Yamaha FZ07 2015-2018 SuterClutch is highly impressive through its fine responsiveness, the efficient inner lubrication and its easy installation. The special color of this clutch results from the hard anodized teflon coating which considerably minimizes the wear on the friction surfaces...

That's almost a grand. I just need standerd clutches. Maybe even better clutches. I dont have the budget for a whole slipper. Thank you tho.

It's a great thought. I just cant afford that kinda clutch. What clutches do people run with?

To be honest I'm still on my stock and hope I won't need replacement anytime soon. I just googled it. MC garage has a video on clutch replacement check it out.

Another problem I'm having is I cant find anything on how to remove the clutch cover. There is coolant lines there and I dont know where to start. That's another reason I dont know what to buy. Do I need a gasket for the water pump? I just dont know

As far as the hard engine braking, that can be totally eliminated with a reflash, using the FTE kit ($350) along with many other adjustments. Look at 'Jake the Garden Snake's videos on youtube. I agree, you really don't need a slipper clutch on a FZ07, but just my opinion.
