Bike cuts out after selecting 1st or 2nd gear

Just brought a fzr 600 and found that i have a problem when i select 1st or 2nd gear the bike jumps forward and then cuts out "as if you released the clutch leaver fast". i do know that the bike had been stored in the owners garage for the last year but in that time he had moved the bike in and out of the garage to start the bike up every sunday morning to make sure the engine keeps running nicely. could this still result in a stuck friction plates and if so how can i release it with out taking the clutch apart (no tools or knowledge for rebuilding clutch) any help would be greatful thank you

SOURCE: Gear selection

You have a bent shift fork. To replace the fork the engine will need to be removed then torn completely down to about 75 different parts in order to replace the bad fork. This is not a do-it-yourself kind of job. Some special tools are needed and you need to know what you are looking for. I hate to be the bearer of the bad news, but that's what is going on.

The engine isn't fixed, but I hope you can rate this solution as a " FixYa" to the nature of the problem. Thanks!

SOURCE: tzr 125 1989/clutch ok.but when you start the bike

most bikes have a neutral switch, which lights up neutral light on dash, or even to allow bike to turn over starter.you need to find it on the bike and check it, it may be shorting, or loose.

This sounds like the clutch has gone out and needs to be replaced, it is very unlikely for the shift fork to get bent on these bikes.

93fzr 600 dies when its put into gear

Hi. Sounds like a problem with the switch on the side stand. The bike will have a switch fitted to the side stand that will cut the motor if you try to select a gear while the side stand is down.. (Assuming you have put the stand up before trying to move off).
It is simply an open/close switch. If you do not have means to test the switch, you can replicate both ways and try it by 1st disconnecting the wires from the switch and separating them. If still the same, short the 2wires together and try it then. Remember though that this is a safety feature and should be rectified immediately.

Alternatively, it could be your clutch that is not adjusted up enough to fully disengage drive when fully in. This in effect will stall the bike as you try to select a gear.. This will be noticeable by the bike jumping to a stall when gear is selected as opposed to the motor just cutting out.

Hope this helps.

I have a 92 fzr 600 when i engage my clutch amd shift into first it dies like the clutch isnt engaged. i checked the clutch cable and it seems to be working fine

With the engine not running can you select 1st gear pull in the clutch lever and push the bike with no difficulty, if you cant, it may be the clutch plates have become stuck together, this can occure from standing for long periods, if you can push the bike it may be the neutrol safety switch, or the side stand safety switch have become faulty, and cutting the bike out as a precaution

95 fzr600 cuts off when put in gear.

jump the two wire together in the plug that used to go to the switch, It shouldnt fry a relay or fuse, as that is all the switch does anyway(contact the two wires)

My fzr 1000 is leaking gearbox fluid by the looks of it ,i start it up and when i put it in 1st gear it cuts out before i even let the clutch out. but if i put it in 2nd gear it doesnt cut out,, is this...

that's a bad neutral safety switch...it's a shop repair...now, the reason it goes bad:

the 1st gear is for getting the bike moving, period...you "never" wind out in 1st gear...ever...high rpm and going from 1st to 2nd is very bad for a transmission...think about how much movement is happening to go from the bottom, past neutral, to 2nd gear...that's where most trans damage occurs...once you start moving, go to 2nd, then rev it out... remember...1st gear is for getting moving only...

Clutch slips

Hello, wheelies mm not good for your gearbox or clutch, 1st off is the gearbox working OK, does it jump out of 2nd gear under hard acceleration? then we can move on from this point,
