Raptor Chapter

next make up the hose. there are loads of guides to doin this online so this will be no probs. and now ro bleed it up. be prepared to get dirty oily and to tear your hair out. i found the easyest way to do this was to fill the 100ml syeringe with dot 4 fluid and use a tight fitting tube to inject fl...

this is the piece i cut off. you could take your time and shape it more but i just need to be back on the road.

its fairly obvious where the slave cylinder sits and it lines up using a dowel. it is a tight fit and both it and the place it fits needed crud scraping off before it would fit. the tl1000r pushrod fits perfectly and is the right length. use the 60mm t6 caphead for the bottom bolt use the 70mm t6 an...

i live in a town so a hydraulic clutch is an atractive idea

pull the cable back down through the frame and disconnect it from the clutch arm clevis.......all dead simple and in the workshop manual. next undo the two bolts that hold the clutch pushrod pushy thing lol in place and gently pull out the pushrod. all this can be recycled......EXCEPT for the ali tu...

next undo the allen bolt that holds the speed sensor onto the sprocket cover. its the little black thing that is held with one allen bolt. tuck the sensor up out of the way on the frame and screw the allen bolt back into the sprocket cover so you dont lose it(yes you will) then take out the 3(i thin...

start by removing clutch lever. my clutch cable had snapped so this was easy.

the new lever will fit straight on and use the raptor mirror perch if you intend to have mirrors.

mine came with this shorty lever. its nice but i dont like the gold colour

ok so thats the hydraulic clutch conversion done so i thought i would do a quick how to for anyone considering this. i am not saying mine is the only way of doing it or the best way but thought it might help others consideting it. ok so shopping list as bought by me 1x zx7r clutch master cylinder(ch...

whats that off? straight swap?

[/quote]yup , theres nothing to stop them turning except friction[/quote]

brute force won through lol they turn.

will try tomorrow if i get chance as its now on the bike and n
in my unit. the reason i need to turn the plastic thing is so that it faces the same way as the standard raptor one so both my new shiney CNC brake res are the same both sides

this picture shows the tube that exits the res and enters the master cylinder through a plastic connector. its this connector i meed to point the oposite way but cant and dont know how to turn it. hope this helps

ok so the hydraulic clutch conversion is finally underway and goin well so far. pictues to follow but does anbody know how to change the direction that the resovoir hose exits the master cylinder. it is attached to a little plastic thing that looks like it should just turn in the master cylinder but...

i am looking to go hydraulic with my clutch and have been looking around for info. if i have this right all i need is tl1000r slave cylinder and pushrod, sv1000 master and lever and alter sprocket cover myself. once i have right length hose this is all bolt on? or do i need to change pushrod seal fo...

great film. i think bikes being more complicated and having a computer as a brain for sparks and fuel put an end to most garage tinkering. the thought of instantly frying a 300 ecu puts people off. its a shame that most of the modern engine tuning is done via laptops by computer guys.
