Katana GSX600F 93 clutch/gear change issue.!?

Noisy and stiff gear change.



A)... Changes gear fine when clutch cable is over tightened but I loose friction and thus reduced drive, so I am guessing there is no real issues with my transmission?

Is that a correct 1st assumption?



B)?If I slacken clutch cable (at lever) so I get good clutch engagement and no slipping, the gears CLONK and are sometimes very stiff to change. It almost breaks my heart to change it for fear of how rough it sounds whilst changing gears! clonk clonk every change!



I either get good shift %26amp;reduce torque, or good torque and stiff shift?



PN. Have changed oil/filter for as specified with no improvement.Katana GSX600F 93 clutch/gear change issue.!?
That engine has an additional adjuster on the clutch lifter (where the cable attaches at the engine).

Adjust it.

Fully loosen the clutch cable at the handlebar lever.

Loosen the lock nut at the lifter and turn the adjuster in, until it lightly seats against the push rod.

Back the screw out 1/4 turn and tighten the lock nut.

Tighten the cable at the handlebar lever leaving 4mm of free play.

Free play is the distance the lever can be moved before pulling

any tension on the cable.
