Cable clutch conversion slabby 1100

[KATANAMANGLER]

I just bought  B6 cable clutch assembly. Can anyone tell me if I use the standard slabby 1100 push rod?

 

[gray711]

IIRC, Don't think the standard one fits. 

I ended up making one out of 6 mm stainless bar. It was quite a few years back that I did it & my memory is pretty shite ......

I believe you can also add a s/s ball bearing behind push rod (clutch end) to make up the length (oooerrrr) if you're original is too short.

I've only done 1127 motors, but one needed the rod shortening, the second one I did, I figured that I could adjust the mechanism behind the round rubber bung enough to work.

[KATANAMANGLER]

Cheers lads.

I've done this conversion on mine, I can messure the push rod I've made, if you're interested.

[FJD]

Hi Nickel, please do so - i´m interested in that info as well !

IIRC there are basically two push rod lengths shown on Suzuki microfiche's for the GSF and GSXR series. If you have a longer one and need a shorter one it will be immediately apparent as you try to put it back together.If you have a shorter one and need a longer one it's not immediately obvious unti8l the clutch doesn't disengage. I know I had issues with the GSXR1100M motor ... but that turned out that the old rod had snapped inside - so when trying to fit the correct part numbered rod it wouldn't! Soon sorted but had me thinking we'd ordered the wrong one for a few minutes!

When mixing and matching certain combinations add a ball bearing to aid clutch action IIRC.

The GSF600 is a cable clutch isn't it?

Yes please.

[Rossco(Iceman Josros)]

I cut 30mm off my push rod when I did Mine but soon sold it on as it made the clutch far to heavy

[clivegto]

It's not that tricky to work out once you start messing around with the setup (have done 3 now).

[Nickel]

Made a push rod with 97mm. Works fine.

So to seemingly state the obvious and rather than opening a new topic, all sprocket covers fit the same 85-92 ?

Not quite, slabby covers have the gear linkage on them, much like teapots. 
they’ll all physically bolt on but making them work isn’t quite the same

If you’re cable converting a slabside, a 600 teapot is the most straightforward IMO

Ah ! Thats what i'm looking to buy, a mk2 version for the speedo sensor too

Thanks 

[Joseph]

Same part number for the pivot part that the shifter fits onto between F B and R

[Dezza]

Teapot covers also fit, with later ones accepting a speedo sensor. If you have flat bars or similar, then the Blandit cable is the way to go. With clip ons, the teapot cable is best because it has a 90 degree guide at the lever end. Wemoto sell Slinky Guide cables and they're just brilliant: OEM quality for 1/4 the price

[Joseph]

Ah yes true, the F angled cable would be ideal. 

After confirmation on here i just sourced this so i guess an extra cable won't break the budget 

[baldrick]

can i ask, whats the benefit of a cable clutch over the hydraulic one, out of interest?

I can't speak for anyone else but its the feel for me,  some will say theirs no difference but when I did mine it just felt so much better.   

[clivegto]

I prefer hydraulic there easy to pull in but the cable does have more feel. I have mate's that look to convert there old jap classics to hydraulic  

[dupersunc]

Lighter weight and more simple.

Feel and it a lighter set up

Hi there,

found this post and got a question. 

I got an early 1052ccm is it possible to convert the hydraulic clutch to a cable driven? an with wich cover?

[davecara]

600 teapot cover still has the spigot to mount the gear selector.

Or 600 Bandit if you're running aftermarket rearsets
