Anyone ever try a slipper clutch on a Fazer?

**thulst** · 08-17-2008, 01:26 PM

I wanted to ask the same question so thanks for starting the topic.

I would love to have a slipper clutch on my FZ, never heard of anyone doing it on the Fazers though.

Could'nt find much on that other site, but i have seen slipper clutches, or conversion kits for FZ6's advertised somewhere...would be very pricey.

For what it's worth I had a slipper on my GSXR600. Unless you're on a racetrack it's unlikely you'll ever need it. You've got to downshift VERY aggressively - like 3 or more gears at a time for it to engage. In 7500 miles on the GSXR I never once needed it. But your riding habits may be different. If you're constantly skidding the rear wheel because you downshift three times and just drop the clutch - you're in the market for a slipper.

never tried a slipper clutch, but i think that it would freak me out...

Don't all clutches slip??? LOL, j/k

I take pride in my ability to match revs and downshift smoothly. Although, it would be a cool gadget to say I have....maybe if my next bike has one it would be cool, but I don't think it will be a selling point.

I ride a lot of country roads with roundabouts in them and I thought it would be fun to be able to carry speed into them and do my shifting before I'm in the middle of the turn.
