just bought my first bike 2004 cbr600f4i and when i get on it the rpms rap but the bike goes nowhere.....then i realized my clutch handle had no play in it at all, so i adjusted everything in and now i got a little play in it and it works better but it still slips. what can it be?? thanks for the help.

 

how much play does you handle have in it? how did you adjust it? per the manual?

how many miles are on the bike? it is unlikely that an '04 with anything but staightout abuse, would have worn out clutch

 

..double post...sorry

 

How many miles do you have on the clutch? If you rip on the throttle and the rpm's go up and you don't go anywhere, You are going to need to replace the clutch. i had the same thing happen to me. You can ride it for awhile but if you want your power when you need it, your clutch is your issue. There is a post on how to replace it, its really easy to do, doesn't take much time. I went with a Barnett clutch, and it runs better than ever.

 

its only got 6k....and i had to stop and adjust the cable down by the tranny while i was in a parking lot so that it would let the clutch engauge more

 

If it had oil with fiction modifers in it, that would cause it. See it's a new bike and you don't know I would change it a see if it helps

 

that makes the most sense. change the oil, then adjust the clutch per the manual. If that doesnt take care of it, pull it apart and see what the issue is.
