I always hate beating old threads to death; but, this one seems to come up often and never truly gets "put-to-bed".
As most of us do, I am putting together a list of mods that I want to complete in the off season this year. Aside from some cosmetic items, upgraded suspension, and some luggage; I think I want to attempt installation of a slipper clutch. Please feel free to tell me I'm crazy and the benefits aren't worth the price and how I should buy and r6, etc, etc, etc...
So, here is my question for those that understand the part numbering system from Yamaha and may have experience with the clutch differences between the 05 R6 and new generation FZ6:
Will a slipper clutch manufactured for a 2005 R6 directly bolt into a 2007 FZ6?
I have spent some time reviewing the parts fiche for both the 2005 R6 and 2007 FZ6 and have found the following:
The clutch plates, friction plates, bearings, pressure plate, and hardware are identical between the two bikes. The following are the only differences:
2007 FZ6 PRIMARY DRIVEN GEAR Part No. 5VX-16150-00-00
2005 R6 PRIMARY DRIVEN GEAR Part No. 5SL-16150-10-00
2007 FZ6 BOSS, CLUTCH Part No. 5VX-16371-00-00
2005 R6 BOSS, CLUTCH Part No. 5SL-16371-00-00
2007 FZ6 SPRING, COMPRESSION Part No. 90501-237L0-00
2005 R6 SPRING,COMPRESSION Part No.90501-225A9-00
Now I understand that different parts of the Yamaha part number mean different things. In this case however, the numbering is nearly identical between the two bikes. The question is, are they interchangeable??
