Murky6 Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 Hi there I'm looking for alittle know how about slipper clutches for a k3 gsxr1000, like weather a k5 one would fit or even if it's worth bothering with at all
Gobert Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 The rumours I've heard say yes with a bit of clutch case moding - try gixxer.com.
Gobert Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 From another forum........ Confirmed on GIXER.COM..... The K5, K6, K7,K8 and K9 1000 slipper clutch fits the K1-K4 Only mod required is a small amount of metal removal on a strengthening web on the inside of the K4 cover.....or fit a K5 cover...............
TriGGer Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 I've done this to my K3, works a treat. Give e ma shout if you want any more info.
Murky6 Posted February 28, 2012 Author Report Posted February 28, 2012 Is it a straight forward swap of parts? And what was the the rough cost to do it? Edited coz I is a Goon lol
TriGGer Posted February 28, 2012 Report Posted February 28, 2012 Yes, it's fairly straight forward. You need a complete unit (inner and outer, plus steel and fibre plates, diaphragm springs and lifter, flat and concave backing springs etc. See here for an exploded view. -> http://www.ronayers.com/Fiche/TypeID/26/Type//MakeID/2/Make/Suzuki/YearID/47/Year/2006/ModelID/7527/Model/GSX_R1000/GroupID/330868/Group/CLUTCH_ And K5/6 clutches have an over heavy "clutch plate wave washer" #14 in the above diagram. Change it for this -> http://www.ronayers..../687/SKU/351361 And while you're there, there are three extra oil splash holes not drilled in the back plate of the K5/6 basket, so it's worth drilling them out too. Take a look here -> Not my picture, but it makes the point. HTH
Mark/Foggy Posted February 28, 2012 Report Posted February 28, 2012 Not my picture, but it makes the point. HTH Thought tht was a masonry bit when I first saw it, nearly fainted.
TriGGer Posted February 28, 2012 Report Posted February 28, 2012 The piccy is pinched from gixxer.com, hence the imperial sized drill. I always use a Hilti with an SDS bit
Mark/Foggy Posted February 29, 2012 Report Posted February 29, 2012 Ohh can you get Blue anodised Hiltis, I'd love a blue nail gun for putting fairings on with.
Murky6 Posted March 1, 2012 Author Report Posted March 1, 2012 went to my local 2nd hand bike bits dealer and i can get it from them for about £150 so when one turns up im getting it
