Cable clutch and lockup ??


Recommended Posts

Well hallo, 

I have fitted an 1100 coil spring clutch to my 750 and have a cable clutch.

Everything is going good but I'd like a lockup on it.

Has anyone done a lockup with a cable from a 750 actuated on the clutch cover? 

I know I'll need a MTC spacer but it's the longer rack pin I'm not sure about.. 

Is there a longer one out of a different model or do I have to make one? 

Thanks.

I've never seen one so didn't think they were made by anyone..

Seriously? You weren't aware of probably the most used motor in drag racing used a lock up! This is the engine it was first used on. If you need an extended rack for a 750 it's likely to be DIY!

I think he wants a lock-up clutch for an engine based on that from an oil-cooled 750 slingshot but with a clutch basket from a GSXR 1100. The link above is for a clutch kit for an air-cooled engine, which obviously will not fit an oil-cooled engine. If this is incorrect then please ignore :).

I get what the OP wants, it was the errant reference to the GSX engine I found weird! Just because it has a cable clutch operation doesn't mean 'its' extended rack would fit or work. If it was me, i'd use (and I did x2) a hydraulic clutch (for which lock-ups are available) - its not as if you have to be subtle when a turbo is involved!

Making a one off, hardened and ground extended rack for a hybrid 750/1100/cable/lock-up will likely cost what the whole clutch is costing - just sayin'

You are joking right? I'm sorry I'm not up to speed with all the dragbike history to date. 

 

I have a full machine shop at my disposal and it is a quite simple part to make.

I just wanted to save myself some time and see if anyone had done. 

Thanks anyway mate.
