when you say lifter pins... im confused what your talking about? what do i adjust? thanks

 

[JetSpeedz]

the 3 lifter pins are the pins you adjust to 2 1/4 turn in the last few pages of the diy... very simple just follow the diy

do you think that will fix the shuddering issue? if i adjust it correctly or am i most likely going to need to replace the steels that i replaced last time i took it apart?

 

[JetSpeedz]

if you adjust it and did the clutch mod you shouldnt have any issues... you may have other problems from not doing the correct adjustment to begin with which might have caused your plates and fibers to go bad but from the pics you posted they looked fine

can i adjust the 3 lifter pins w/o drain the oil and put the clutch cover off???
i adjust my my 3 lifter pins at 2 1/4 out from full, but i want to try 2 3/4 out, but im too lazy to drain the oil and put of the clucth cover....
how do you suggest me Jet...??

 

[JetSpeedz]

Sanga all you need is a 19mm to take the cap off the clutch cover and you can adjust the lifters easily... just crank the motor but tapping the starter to turn it to the next lifter or put it in gear and pull the clutch lever in and roll the bike back or forward... also you can take the entire cover off without draining the oil, just make sure its on the kickstand but you can take the cap off on a regular bike stand and it wont drain

my clutch chattered really bad out of the hole and it made it very frustrating to ride because you had to be really careful and give it bearly any gas but now after this mod i can ride it normal and so far no chatterunk thanks a lot for the how to post :cheers

 

[willybeen]

my clutch is still chattering, but the pins were adjusted out 4-5 turns and they werent even. im guessing that might have contributed to the problem.. i have them all around 2 3/4 to 3 turns out now and im just gonna ride it for a week and see if it gets any better... i really dont wanna replace any more parts...

 

[JetSpeedz]

why weren't they evenly adjusted.... you need to pay attention to details

 

[willybeen]

i didnt see the slipper adjustment section in the pdf that i printed.... and they must have been out of adjustment from the previous owner..

 

[willybeen]

besides if they were ALL the way out wouldnt it just NOT slip under accel? do you think this will help the problem?

 

[JetSpeedz]

its in the pds.. this is the page its on http://www.gixxer.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2263698&postcount=122

Just follow the instructions and adjust it... if you live in DFW area come by and ill do it for you for free its not hard...

 

[willybeen]

yea i did the adjustment and it still doesnt feel as smooth as it did the day that i finished the clutch mod, but its bareable and hopefully it will get better or ill just wait and replace the worn steals (if their warn again, last time one of them had a real bad heat spot on it) Wheres DFW? i live in buffalo, NY

 

[JetSpeedz]

Your not anywhere near me my 2 locations... just do the adjustments and check out the plates and fibers for wear

wait a sec....what is this mod for again??? =/

That was a great write up, JetSpeedz :thumbup

This is the area you are drilling to (note the channels are already there ?),between that face and a shoulder on the drive gear is a smaller version of the two rings that go onto the clutch hub first when loading the plates...fwiw.
One thing of note considering this was a low mile 06 clutch was the wear on the damper spring pockets.
I guess it was a space thing but Suzuki have gone away from the design they used to date with twin steel discs to hold the springs.
On this clutch they run the springs one side direct in the alloy of the basket and the wear is quite severe.
I don't know what is going on in there but it seems 160++HP is causing some protest going by those grooves.

i rode an 06 with 1500 miles on it today.. felt very similar... looks like im done digging into the motor... YAY

Good to hear... We'll have to make a GDC reunion of it.
