Title: Re: Oberon clutch slave...... Post by: He Man on April 04, 2010, 05:56:21 PM it is if you have a dry clutch and weak hands. ;D
Title: Re: Oberon clutch slave...... Post by: mikeb on April 05, 2010, 02:52:51 AM The difference is that noticeable ? Yes, it is very noticeable. Not only is pull much easier it increases the friction zone of the clutch. In stock trim all the modulation is in first 1/2 inch of lever pull. The new slave increases the range of modulation. Fanning the clutch in traffic is much easier because the pull is easier and the lever has a more workable range. Title: Re: Oberon clutch slave......

Especially for you guys who don't have a leaky slave and aren't ready to spend the cashmoney yet. Title: Re: Oberon clutch slave...... Post by: WhiteStripe on April 05, 2010, 05:52:31 AM did you install it your self?

Post by: Bizzarrini on April 05, 2010, 05:54:23 AM If it is still too heavy, remember you can always pull two springs, or put washers under the spring caps or do both! How do the washers work? I'd think they increase the spring preload, thereby increasing the force required to pull the clutch? Title: Re: Oberon clutch slave...... Post by: junior varsity on April 05, 2010, 05:55:28 AM Under the spring caps. Lessens spring preload. You put them under the spring cap, between the hub post and the cap - you don't want one with a diameter large enough to contact the spring itself.

Title: Re: Oberon clutch slave...... Post by: junior varsity on April 05, 2010, 06:33:38 AM No issues on my Rizoma cover, using rizoma spring caps and pressure plate
Title: Re: Oberon clutch slave...... Post by: arai_speed on April 05, 2010, 08:20:25 AM My results were marginal at best - it did make a difference but not one to write home about.
Title: Re: Oberon clutch slave...... Post by: mikeb on April 05, 2010, 01:36:32 PM did you install it your self? Yes, I did. If you are at all mechanically inclined you won't have any trouble with it. Probably one of the easiest mods to do. Title: Re: Oberon clutch slave...... Post by: uclabiker06 on April 05, 2010, 03:49:52 PM would it be worthwhile to put on a wet clutch? Like, say an s2r800?
Title: Re: Oberon clutch slave...... Post by: junior varsity on April 05, 2010, 03:54:37 PM shoot no. That clutch is plenty easy to begin with. It would be a waste of money if your slave isn't leaking. Improvement, like everyone has reported, would be marginal, the range of engagement changes, and it looks fancy, but its costly.
I'd spend that $100-250 on something else. |
