R6's in general...

I started rocking an '03 R6 bone stock, and also a '00 R6 with +15.. both seem to have a really draggy clutch. When I slip out the clutch it doesnt react that fast. Ive ridden two '03 R6's like this... when I get on a Honda or Suzuki they have more response it seems. Once the bike is up @ balance its fine. It just seems like it takes the bike a second to get the power to the wheel when slipping the clutch.

Anyone else rock multiple bikes and notice this about the R6.

I've got an 02 R6 and i noticed some drag when i had stock gearing, especially with spreaders and highchairs, but i've gone +14 and there is def not any drag now, it comes up NOW when i clutch it....

I love it for the engine brake, but +10 would be much better if you still hit the streets....

Replace your Friction plates, its like 80 bucks give or take. I helped a friend do his 02 back in the day and it was a noticable difference in feel. But I still think the R6 has a funny clutch. Ive never ridden a bike that felt like R6's, and dont get me wrong, they are def. badass bikes.
