Rob21 Posted November 13, 2018 Posted November 13, 2018 Hello, I am attempting to swap the hydrolic clutch to cable using a bandit 600 sprocket cover, worm gear, clutch perch and lever. I’m sure I have the cable set and the worm gear but it feels extremely heavy. Pretty sure this isn’t the feel people get doing this swap! Any ideas? Cheers. Quote

jonny1bump Posted November 13, 2018 Posted November 13, 2018 It's does become quite heavy. Make sure rod long enough so worm is starting to move, is greased and free. Don't use short lever. 1 Quote
Captain Chaos Posted November 13, 2018 Posted November 13, 2018 I have a teapot 600 cover + cable on my 1127 engine, it's not much heavier than hydraulic. Make sure the cable is moving smoothly, new is best and makes a big difference. 1 Quote
dupersunc Posted November 13, 2018 Posted November 13, 2018 Use a teapot gsxf cable, the route much more nicely. 1 Quote
Rob21 Posted November 13, 2018 Author Posted November 13, 2018 Thanks for the replies, I used the original 1100 push rod, when i use the B600 push rod it's so short and doesn't engage the clutch at all. I have a new B600 "slinky guide" cable coming, will try that with the worm gear all stripped, cleaned and fresh greased. I tried it routed the way @Captain Chaoshas it, no major kinks / corners. Not sure if i've been spoiled with the brembo m/c i used off a new multistrada, It's ridiculously light! Quote
fatblokeonbandit Posted November 13, 2018 Posted November 13, 2018 Your rods too long I've done the swop 3 times and had to make one each time.. Quote
Rob21 Posted November 13, 2018 Author Posted November 13, 2018 @fatblokeonbandit Do you have a measurement? Quote
jonny1bump Posted November 13, 2018 Posted November 13, 2018 (edited) Was using a heavy duty spring and one normal on diaphragm clutch should have added. Current set up proper hybrid using clutch cover pull so light yet still handles the extra power. Well it does at moment hopefully won't break this time. Edited November 14, 2018 by jonny1bump 1 Quote

Mines just standard Springs and diaphragm clutch. Something must be wrong, Do you have a measurement of the push rod you used? Ill strip everything down, hopefully the new cable will be in and try that, going to take my gun home tomorrow and strip the clutch too. Quote
jonny1bump Posted November 13, 2018 Posted November 13, 2018 Not sure anymore if honest think used it as a drift. Have to have a look. Basically you want the worm just to start working. Quote

Rob21 Posted November 22, 2018 Author Posted November 22, 2018 Thanks for the replies, a new cable and wee service of the worm gear helped but it was still too stiff for my liking, ditching the idea and going to run an RCS to match my brake will post a new topic to see what people have had success with.
