Evill_Ed 734 Posted January 28, 2022 So I have tossed this idea around for a while and finally decided to pull the trigger. I cross rferenced all of the FZ07 and R7 parts list for the clutches and came up with this list to convert my FZ07 to a factory slipper set up. I trust factory parts so I feel confident about quality and longevity. I ordered the parts online, took about a month with supply chain issues. Cost was $305- I receieved the parts yesterday. Hope to install over the next couple of weeks.

M. Hausknecht 378 Posted January 28, 2022 I have a Yoyodyne slipper clutch, which works very well but a much lower cost option would be great. I'll be very interested to hear about your experience. Thanks for sharing! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was talking with a guy at the track with a new R7 about the factory slipper, he said it worked really well. We'll see.

fzar 625 Posted January 28, 2022 Hey @Evill_Ed nothing to say really except, This is going to be interesting!! isn't it. I hope you got everything you need and thanks for sharing your parts list. The timing on this is outstanding, I was about to order all the parts for a clutch replacement, I swear. Coincidence! I think not. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evill_Ed 734 Posted January 28, 2022 Hey @fzar I went through the parts list sveral times, the majority of the parts have the same part numbers. The clutch pressure plates, clutch boss, springs and clutch plate kit are really the only changes.

shinyribs 1,683 Posted January 28, 2022 Guys have been swapping OEM slippers in to older 09's for a while now and everyone is happy with the OEM setups, so I'm sure it'll do great. Cool project, man! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Weeksy 57 Posted January 28, 2022 Would it be possible to get a parts list for someone with a virtually brand new bike, so not needing anything replacing due to age/wear please? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AP996 167 Posted January 28, 2022 Look forward to seeing how this goes, reasonable cost slipper is definitely something I’d be interested in. well done for being the first to put your money down and try it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The parts list is for the slipper clutch assembly. You need all those parts. They are differnet than the stock clutch. 2 "Do not let this bad example influence you, follow only what is good" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M. Hausknecht 378 Posted January 28, 2022 I've got a reasonably fresh stock clutch in a box here somewhere. I think I'm going to order the parts you've listed so I have a second clutch to go on my to be rebuilt motor. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
union 49 Posted January 29, 2022 I'm curious how that clutch works. I've been on the Yamaha R6 clutch which we had to modify a bit, STM clutch on my KTM 525, Hinson clutch on my KTM450 and now will have Yoyodyne in my MT. All had different solutions for the same problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mjh937 1,909 Posted January 29, 2022 I thought I had read that the clutch cover is larger on the R7. I did not see a cover on your parts list, will the new parts fit with the stock cover? I am thinking of doing this conversion when I need a new clutch so I am interested to see how everything goes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evill_Ed 734 Posted January 29, 2022 The clutch cover is the same part number for both the FZ and the R7. There was a question about the cover being different because the Woodcraft case slider for the FZ does not work on the R7. People thought the cover was different, but the problem is interference with the R7 lower fairing. Its the bodywork, not the clutch cover.

M. Hausknecht 378 Posted January 30, 2022 Well, I ordered the parts yesterday; thanks again to Ed for doing the heavy lifting. The parts aren't in stock so we'll see how it takes to get them all. Replacing the clutch on an 07 is mostly easy, with the exception of getting the side cover on. You must line up the oil pump drive, and the clutch push rod so the clutch arm-to-cable relationship is correct; that is the tricky part. I had to do it twice; once with the motor on a bench and once with the motor in the bike. i found that laying the bike mostly on its side was necessary to get everything lined up correctly. At least no blood was spilled. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shinyribs 1,683 Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) Completely unrelated, but also completely related, you got my gears turning and yep...late model oem YFZ slipper clutch will swap in to my old WR!
