Hi, In the past, I asked for advice regarding my GSX1000SZ with the problem of engaging gear without the bike stalling or dragging badly.

Re: Katana clutch problem

Hi UB,
My engine number is GS10X-100617. The bike is a GSX1000SZ.
Stripped the clutch (again) today, I hope I can get it sorted, not be a good start to ownership.
Cheers

Re: Katana clutch problem

Hi All, Someone in the past mentioned the wrong handlebar levers, I checked the parts list and all looked original. Process of elimination, the handlebar lever was next.

Re: Katana clutch problem
