Evill_Ed 687 Posted May 31 I finally got to the track and had the chance to test the new slipper clutch. It works flawlessly. Worth every penny. A quick video of a lap. Ed 6 "Do not let this bad example influence you, follow only what is good" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Choices are buying through a Yamaha dealer or an on-line seller of OEM motorcycle parts. Many parts seem to have very limited availability. I've been waiting for the Yamaha clutch pack for a couple months now. Seller is now suggesting they'll have some on June 10. We'll see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is just another on-line seller of OEM parts but you can't see what they actually have in stock ready to ship. And it costs more for us folks in the US than several US-based sellers. But glad it works for you. Edited June 20 by M. Hausknecht Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They do have stock ready to ship else they will have let you know what is the waiting time.. (My case is they do not have stock but they do get me the stock within 2 days. As we all know everything is Made In Japan so they are pretty quick to arrange or order the parts.) As for the price, maybe some will be expensive but overall still in acceptable range Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jb.junior 78 Posted Monday at 12:37 AM A fellow Moto America racer used the stock R7 clutch, didn’t like it and is putting in a slipper. Are you still feeling yours is sufficient? Also, how “bad” is it to reuse the boss nut? I have a racer friend (and former mechanic) who says he does it all the time, and it’s fine. And I have another smart, reasonable mechanic telling me it’s catastrophe,for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure if you are asking me or not, but I like mine.It slips smoothly on down shifts and locks tight under acceleration plus it has a lighter pull at the lever. I'm not sure what more I could expect from it. As for the nut, if you able to stake it is a new spot, reusing should not be an issue. If you are buying the parts anyway, just order one (or more to have a spare) The nut itself won't fail, it is more about being able to stake it securely so it doesn't loosen during operation.

Ed Glad to hear you like it. I'm going to put a stock engine together and may give it a try. I see. Thanks for that. I should have looked at the pictures and the manual more closely. I wasn't aware that it was the "stake" type, and not a triangular one-use type. So yeah, can for sure reuse if you can "stake" it again. Make sense.. (And actually, on an aftermarket clutch, it has its own type of nut anyway...) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
