Phatbluekat Posted October 16 Posted October 16 Hope you folx can help? -Really like my bike, size and weight, even looks, still deciding on paint job, but there's always improvements. Q.1 Wondering if anybody has/encountered/tried/succeeded to fit Inazuma 1200 Clutch Master + slave with cover to a zuma 750? Q.2 Like standard wheel, Kat Muddy and Brakes and the hidden fork brace on the 750 -forks, bit soft. Have Mk1 GSF 1200 forks, Showa. Anybody swopped in 1200 tubes and kept Zuma legs on a project, or done it outta sheer curiosity? 1 Quote
wraith Posted October 16 Posted October 16 Nice As to Q1 a lot of people have done the cable conversion to the 1100/1200 so won't be a problem the other way round, think the only fiddly bit is the clutch push rod length as the 600/750 oil cooled engines have a longer push rod if I remember right, but it's just a M6 round bar so easy to make different sizes. Can't help with Q2 3 Quote
Phatbluekat Posted October 16 Author Posted October 16 my thinking too, but was unsure if the slave lined up with the end of the pushrod, hoped/guessed it likely would...as you say make a bit of rod fit easy enough! Think that's a goer -certainly worth trying this winter. thx mate 1 Quote
DAZ Posted October 16 Posted October 16 As regards q2, if it's just feeling under damped maybe a fork oil change and a bit of fine tuning with oil weights would help the issue . You can mix different weight oils of the same brand , eg 50/50 5w+10w to create 7.5w, or 10w+15w for 12.5w as well as playing with the air gap and preload spacers for not a lot of money..... 2 Quote
Phatbluekat Posted October 18 Author Posted October 18 It's quite heavily plunging at the front on these Welsh roads, 1 oil seal has blown -possibly get too enthusiast at times with the gameplay, I'm 17st myself so got to count that into the mix! Did find and message a chap who did it in 2014! He said worked fine for years...I've got a set of Bandito 1200 forks... Quote
Phatbluekat Posted October 18 Author Posted October 18 Trouble is that it's more than soft, actively dives a fair bit. One of the seals has been leaking besides, but was quite 'grabby' today -feels like better springs required. Quote
wraith Posted October 19 Posted October 19 I put progressive fork spring in, it will help a lot I put a set in my gsx1100 et (that's got a b12 front end and engine) and it completely changed the bike. But I'm 15st and need to change the oil to a lighter one as they are a bit hard for my wight, so might be worth spending the money 2 Quote
Duckndive Posted October 19 Posted October 19 Blandit 12 forks are about 25 mm shorter than the Zuma ones as well Quote
