Wow, just got back from a whole week up in the western and central highlands

Well I’ve removed it as the clutch does not fully engage when pulled in and hard to select neutral as well.

sure someone could come up with something similar for the fazer...... they want 65 quid for this ktm one..... a bit steep i think
It’s a good solution but most kits are off-road stuff.

clutch pull on the mighty 1000 is fatiguing for my weak man hands so I sourced one of these and just fitted it up. The clutch on the old thou is pretty light. What you do need to do is lubricate the cable every other year or so.
Compared to modern bikes, with only 3 clutch springs, it’s heavy

Oh man, I never even thought to look for something like this - thank you for posting this! how much lighter did it make the clutch action..?
I dont like the idea of the of having the lower adjustment being right on the end as per your vid, were you not able to adjust it..?
Also what hydraulic option..?
ps. you may want to edit the screenshot as its showing parts of the address it was delivered too
It’s made the pull quite a bit lighter, I needed all the adjustment possible as the clutch cable at the end needs at least 10mm pulled in to actuate properly. Not sure if it’s a long term solution, this cable is 2 years old, might stretch a bit more.

clutch pull on the mighty 1000 is fatiguing for my weak man hands so I sourced one of these and just fitted it up. Took a bit of messing about as it reduces the throw of the main clutch cable so you need to remove as much slack as possible, anyway I did a video of it, 2 parts as my neighbour walked past as I was recording. Been on test and it selects gears and neutral ok , 1st attempt without taking all slack up at the clutch case end resulted in clutch not fully disengaging with lever pulled in. I realise this isn’t an issue for most riders but could be for those like me who ain’t getting any stronger. I considered an hydraulic option but for £15 this is as light as I think you will get. My Ducati 996 hydraulic clutch was so heavy it needed 2 hands. https://youtu.be/-pcF8zS1ZTEhttps://youtu.be/5bv60-ElrHM

Inspect the bushes and change them too

Both R1 and R6 forks are indeed shorter than standard forks: the first picture of my R6 5SL fork thread shows the three forks lined up together. But reduced suspension travel stops the R1 / R6 setup smashing the radiator and other front-end parts. The alternative front-ends will however sit an inch lower, which improves the handling but reduces comfort.
Standard FZS1000 forks have 140mm of suspension travel. The alternative 2003-2004 R6 5SL forks only have 120mm of suspension travel, which offsets the forks being shorter.
Good answer, thanks, I don’t want to reduce comfort. I have a fireblade for that

Any idea on prices yet?

Aren’t the R1 and R6 forks shorter than stock though? How do you overcome this?

Normally a 50/50 mix with deionised water, then use enough for your bike. Can buy di water from Halfords

I’ve taken my compression dampers out to 5 out from fully soft. It’s about the only way I can stand it on rough roads at modest pace. I’ve ktec 10.5 springs and 2 year old 10w oil
Do you mean 5 out from fully 'hard', ie max compression damping?
I ask because you should always start damping adjustments with the adjusters fully - lightly - seated and then back them out to decrease the damping. The reason is that most adjusters will still have several turns out available after reaching minimum damping, if that makes sense?
Hi mike, I backed out the adjuster to fully soft then added 5 clicks. I remember you saying they have too much comp damping as standard

Have to say not a fan of top speed being on the main screen.

I have used Avon storms and the 3dxms too. All good, about 5000 miles and they get ragged pretty hard, wet grip is good. Now on Pirelli angel gts, fitted January still got over 3mm on the rear, not one slide or slip.

Makes sense. Just wondered what made you let the mt10 go? Didn’t you like it or is it too expensive?

Cheers guys,
Dropped the forks in at K-tech this morning, bit of a shock to the wallet... but thats just how it is. I am in the midlands so MCT is a bit of a distance for me.
Just rebuilding to stock at the moment, will go from there when I have more budget and time in the winter. I want to experience the front end without completely shot bushings to get a baseline of where I want to go with it.
You could have gone to biketek Tamworth, he did my fireblade forks. All new bushes and seals for £130

Interested in why you going back to an fz1?

Looks great, be interested in one of these for sure

I bought a full set onpff one supplier, the highest rated did chain possible. I also got an endless chain and just removed the swinger to fit it. No need for cutting or riveting a chain.
