Premium Member Evill_Ed Posted May 31, 2022 Author Premium Member Share Posted May 31, 2022 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 7 "Do not let this bad example influence you, follow only what is good" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know of no way to order parts directly from Yamaha. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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, 2022 by M. Hausknecht Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jb.junior Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Einstein57 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 I ordered all my parts through partzilla. I added the factory pro shifter arm and spring while i was in there since i was starting to get 5th gear pop outs. Every works harmoniously and no more locking up the rear on trying to late break and down shift to 2nd. Is it as good as my RSVR slipper? No. Is it worth the $300. Absolutely. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to hear your positive results, I still love my set up. I didn't think of the factory pro shifter arm and spring upgrade until after I put everything back together. What are your impressions of it? Does it really help with the 5th gear pop outs?

Einstein57 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 I did a couple of track days with it starting to pop out so I caught it fairly early. The first track day I popped out maybe 4-5x through out the day using the quick shifter. The second time was like 1-2x per session using the clutch and banging hard in to 5th to ensure engagement . I was sweating bullets looking at the prices of having to get the transmission gears back cut. After I installed everything I think I got 1 pop out the whole day and that was probably from a lazy shift. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michelle Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 I just wanted to comment in regards to anyone recently looking at this forum. I was throwing around ideas for a slipper clutch for my 2016 fz07. The Yoyodyne and Suter were just so expensive I started to search for other options. I saw this post from @Evill_Ed and decided this was a super smart and cost-efficient idea. I followed his parts list and installed the R7 slipper back in April of 2023. I then used my fz07 for a full track season this summer and man oh man this is one of the best upgrades you can do to these bikes. I highly recommend and I'm so pleased with how it turned out for my fz. Installation was super easy, parts came quickly. Thank you @Evill_Ed for this post! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petee Posted November 19 Share Posted November 19 So I just found this topic, and I'm getting ready to order parts. I did not see compression springs in either of the parts lists. It looks like both clutch's have different spring part numbers. Did I miss something, or do I need to order some springs too? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you're enjoying the modification Michelle. BTW - I have 2 Track Seasons on my Slipper set up. I mic'd the plates last year and measured the stack height and saw no appreciable wear. I'll measure them again this winter. Slipper clutches will wear faster as a result of their slipping properties, at least that's what I've been told. I keep a spare plate set in my track box just in case. Ed 1 "Do not let this bad example influence you, follow only what is good" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
