Loss of POWER in R6 after the clunking sound

Hello all,
I am new to this forum!! I own a 04 R6 with 11k miles on it!!! I was riding on around 60mph when, the gear slipped from 5th to 4th with clunking sound!!! I immediately eased the throttle a little and shifted back to 5th gear!!! Immediately realized that my bike is not delivering full power as it used to before this clunking thing happend.

Once I was home, verified that all the 4 cylinders are firing up!!! But still have the same issue!!!

Do I have problem with the CLUTCH???? PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!!!

Thanks in advance,
-K

Sorry to hear you are having some problem with your '04 R6.... you may want check some forum where someone may sell the parts you are needing. Good luck


Saying that, if you ever think of getting rid of your R6 via parts, think of me

you may have broken a clutch disc if it still goes through all of the gears, just not with 100% pull. a clutch kit usually runs around 100-150 depending on who you get them from. installation is not a big deal if you, or you know someone who is mechanically inclined.
