 If
you own a Suzuki Hayabusa of any year and you have modified your clutch
in anyway, then pay close attention. You may have damaged your clutch
slave unit and not know it. If you have added shims to your clutch
springs, installed any number of aftermarket modified clutch hubs,
baskets, springs and such, then you may have a cracked clutch slave unit
due to the added exertion put upon that unit. Actually, I have seen some
units only fractured and have hairline cracks and some others that were
blatantly broken.
But never fear, Guy is here to tell you that all is not lost. At least
for you out there who haven't broken or cracked your clutch slave units
yet. I found a great little item from Motorhead Performance of
Cleveland, Ohio called the Clutch Slave Support [http://www.suzukihayabusa.org/docs/HayabusaParts/performance.htm].
Not very original, but you get the picture. This little assembly takes
about 30 minutes from start to finish to install and requires very
little skill to do achieve success.
First remove your left side cover and remove the two (2) silver Phillips
screws attaching the radiator overflow bottle (photo above left). Then
simply insert the horseshoe looking support into place and use the
supplied bolts to attach (photo above right). It couldn't be simpler and
now your clutch slave unit is supported and will not fracture or crack
due to the extra pressures put upon it by modifying your clutch unit as
we all have.
Call Motorhead Performance at 216-631-4100 and place your order now.
They go for a mere $45.00 and there aren't too many things you can buy
for your Hayabusa for under $50.00 now days that actually perform a
service to your bike.
