KATANAMANGLER Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I just bought B6 cable clutch assembly. Can anyone tell me if I use the standard slabby 1100 push rod? Quote Link to comment
gray711 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 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. 1 Quote Link to comment
dupersunc Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 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. 1 Quote Link to comment

Nickel Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I've done this conversion on mine, I can messure the push rod I've made, if you're interested. Quote Link to comment
FJD Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Hi Nickel, please do so - i´m interested in that info as well ! 1 Quote Link to comment
Solcambs Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 (edited) 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? Edited March 13, 2017 by Solcambs Quote Link to comment

Rossco(Iceman Josros) Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I cut 30mm off my push rod when I did Mine but soon sold it on as it made the clutch far to heavy Quote Link to comment
clivegto Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 It's not that tricky to work out once you start messing around with the setup (have done 3 now). 1 Quote Link to comment
Nickel Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Made a push rod with 97mm. Works fine. 1 Quote Link to comment
Joseph Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 (edited) So to seemingly state the obvious and rather than opening a new topic, all sprocket covers fit the same 85-92 ? Edited December 23, 2022 by Joseph Quote Link to comment
davecara Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 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 Quote Link to comment

Joseph Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Same part number for the pivot part that the shifter fits onto between F B and R Quote Link to comment
Dezza Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 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 1 Quote Link to comment
Joseph Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 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 Quote Link to comment
baldrick Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 can i ask, whats the benefit of a cable clutch over the hydraulic one, out of interest? Quote Link to comment

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. 1 Quote Link to comment
clivegto Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 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 1 Quote Link to comment
dupersunc Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Lighter weight and more simple. 2 Quote Link to comment

oNeVPlus Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 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? Quote Link to comment
davecara Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 600 teapot cover still has the spigot to mount the gear selector. Or 600 Bandit if you're running aftermarket rearsets Quote Link to comment
