Kawasaki mechanical help

[892kawi]

I keep reading online and being told that a 2006 ninja 636 comes standard with a slipper clutch. I race this bike and I can damn sure tell you there isn't one and if there is it is major malfunctioning. Factory specs that I find from kawasaki dosent specify slipper clutch. What's the deal? Thx for the help!

Download the owners manual or pull the clutch cover and check it out or go to a ninja forum and do some research.

If it was my bike, I would just pull the clutch cover.

My R6 has a slipper clutch that was ineffective on the track until we cut some of the little flappy things off? (Someone else will have the mechanical-speak for the part). Now it works perfecto. :thumbup

I see slipper springs in this parts fiche

OEM slippers w/ the stock settings don't slip very much, almost none at all. why... because slip wears clutch plates and street riders don't want to replace the clutch annually like racers do.

Try cutting the ears off of one of the 39130 springs. You probably need the remainder to keep clearances the same.

All I could find was an old article

The six-speed transmission has been refined and no longer has the disconcerting clunk that previously haunted shifts between first and second gears. In equal measure, the new gearbox allows the rider to find neutral with ease, something the previous year’s models had difficulty with.

The 2006 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R 636 comes standard with an impressive race-inspired slipper clutch. This back-torque limiting unit allows aggressive downshifts by automatically synchronizing rear wheel speed to engine rpm for smooth, progressive shifts while reducing the possibility of rear wheel hop or lockup. Again, this is a huge boon for both track day novices and experts.

Most OEM manufacturers do slippers poorly. At least the GSXR allows you to adjust.

Cut one or more of the springs I mentioned. That's what is needed.

if u want to know a good setup for anything Kawi & racing related, post your question on the WERA forum in Tech and hope that DDK732 answers.

Sounds like I need to have someone look at it. I'm excited to at least know there's a possibility I mite have one. I can do a lot of things but a motorcycle clutch isn't one of them Thx everyone.

A basic motorcycle clutch is very simple. I'd at least pull the cover off and take a look.
