How do you adjust the clutch on a 2006 Kawasaki Ninja?

Not the grip, but the internal clutch. It feels like it doesn't disengage completely. When the engine is running and I push the gear shift into first it goes in very hard and causes the bike to lurch forward a bit.How do you adjust the clutch on a 2006 Kawasaki Ninja?Always give year, make, engine size and model # when asking questions. Ninjas come in different sizes.

Ninjas do not have internal clutch adjustments.

If adjusting the clutch cable doesn't make any changes, then the next possible problems could be -

- Lack of, or thin oil - change oil and filter.

- Shift forks worn - do you have a heavy foot and slam the shift lever?

- Trani gears not engauging with each other easily. Rev the engine a little before shifting. If the bike is new, it might take a while for the trani to loosen up. If it's still under warrenty, take it back to the dealer so you have proof that there was a problem. If something happens after the warrenty expires, you have legal recourse for Kaw to fix the problem.How do you adjust the clutch on a 2006 Kawasaki Ninja?is clutch lever cable loose? You should have about 1/4 or less of free play on cable lever. if cable is loose then trying adjusting cable tension using barrel adjustment by the lever perch. See your owner manual.
