Okay, this is how I see it after pulling the clutch out of the YZF750. The YZF and FZ750 (would guess FZR's as well) Are pretty much the same. The R6 slipper has the same size plates, main bearing and bushings, and center spline. The plate stack is the same depth. The R6 crankshaft and oil pump gear...

Same in our recognized classes Kiwi. The MA web page link will take you to a page that will allow you to down-load the entire 2009 manual of Motorsport. All the regs are there :)

Have not gone that far yet Cam. Didn't you say orient express at some point? I'll wait until I get the YZF750 basket out before I spend any more $. If I go ahead we can probably organise to to source and buy jointly? Also, I will have Cad next week, so will send you a copy. Cheers.

It's not going to be that simple I'm afraid, I still need to remove the YZF750 clutch and have a look, it does not fit either of the Fz models. (Basket or center) The boss will not work for any of them. The plates are the same size sure, but the stack is about a cm taller, and the rivet spacing diff...

brotherhood

The R6 slipper clutch I requested assistance obtaining from the US turned up today. It was with help of a member, who's nick is 97YZF1000, that I have to thank without reservation. I had never had contact with, nor spoken to Tony prior, but he came to my aide, with his own $ and more so trust. Out o...

All the more reason for your mob to get involved in the discussion Kiwi. It (this) has nothing to do with me btw, I just phoned them to see what they where up to. You may remember a year or so ago I made same call to a majorly brick wall. One thing I do know is the politics of sport, and know once t...

Okay! I just phoned MA (again) with questions regarding the formalization of an 80's class, and it sounds as if there is some serious movement in this direction now. There is a forum being convened in Sydney on the 27th June to investigate the appropriate road to go down in this regard. There is som...

Just remember who told you eh. Now Kev, you know I have already cited the credit of my decision to go ahead with the clutch to you. Thanks Kev, reading your post prompted me to get moving on the slipper possibility. I need clutch parts as the center on my FZ clutch was broken removing it. I had see...

Hey Mr Butler, now, I recall you saying you have never (ever) been overtaken on the straight? When you're at Dudleys can you ask him if he's had a chance to look at the photo's I sent him (doohan frame) I don't want to badger him... but it has been a month or so :) It will be good just for you in yo...

I've got Dan sending me over one Cam with a pile of other stuff (33 pounds of it) for the T-Ace engine, I'll let you know, I don't think the internal part will be any different. I'll have some answers in a week or so. Fingers crossed :)

R6 Slipper Clutch DOES NOT FIT!!!!!!

Mr Marquez is in possession of the R6 slipper and has sent through some pix's just to wet the appetite. It's looking promising :) I just hope you don't get too attached to it Tony... LOL. It apparently looks like new. I'm going to pull down the YZF750 motor I have here tonight to compare the interna...

There is no art in it really MsHap. the book (service manual) explains pretty well what you need to do if the seat present here or there on the valve. You should have a go. The hand cutters are a good investment :) I wonder how much extra hp the center inlet valve mod makes?.... The kit manual goes ...
