hey i'm pretty confident that i completely burned my clutch out i have a 02 cbr f4i with 5200 miles on it... and the other night i did a burnout and stopped and went to start again and the back tire wasn't catching... well to make a long story short.. it will only move in 1st and that on level ground there is no throttle response at all just rolling... does this mean i need a completely new clutch???

sounds like its not engaging all the way, check your cables...

if you burned up a clutch on an f4i with 5k on it you are very special.. its a honda for ***** sake...

yeah i just bought it used for 3500 so i'm not sure how it was ridden before.. but i've only put about 100 miles on it and i dunno what the deal is so just check my clutch cables up on the handlebars?

my bike only has 3300 miles on it and the clutch has been slipping since I bought it with 1500 miles on it... at about 2500 miles i pulled it and found out that all the steels were completely blue with hotspots... so apparently the previous owner of my bike was very.... "special".

schleyguy

so based on how i've described it you think i need a new clutch? i'm telling you on a flat road i'll put it in first and let the clutch out without using any gas and it won't stall it'll just roll slow but no matter what i do with the throttle there's no response... you think just adjusting the cables will correct that problem?

i fixed the problem i tightened up my cables but yeah i opened it up and my steels had quite a few spots as well but i ordered a barnett kevlar clutch so it'll be fixed tomorrow thanks and yeah to wheeliest i do know a lot about my bike and the other bikes i've owned i simply had a question

Wheeliest

i have a buddy that burned one up in 1200miles, he'd hold the throttle wide open when he switched gears. the metals were shot and the fibers were not looking so healthy.....
