SPEED: Howe\'s your Schnitz doing?

Speed the phone # is 800-869-0497 ask for Brian, he is heads up with this as I gave him the installation feedback yesterday.

I also left a post on this in the Aftermarket section of the site yesterday as well, if you need any more info. Just ask.

Order a gasket and an o-ring for the water pump. You also have to tilt/jack the motor up in the frame to get the shift shaft cover off and remove one of the cover's bolts as the frame is in the way. You are looking at nearly 4 hours time , so you may as well get new coolant and do an oil change while you are there.

Just remeber to order gaskets and o rings.

There was no part number even as of yesterday.

Speed I know you did the Schnitz clutch mod quite a while ago, and had some initial concerns about its effect on your transmisson and ease of shifting.

I VERY much want to do this mod, and apparently an aftermarket rebuild like Schnitz is the only way to do it.

How is it working out for you now that you've got some miles on it? Would you describe in detail for us how well it works and what the trade-offs, if any, are?

Much appreciate it.
 
All is well after 2000 miles with the clutch mod. If you drag race at all you it is very nice to have, If you like very agressive curvies then I might not suggest it.
Overall I give it an 8 out of 10 stars :)
The transmission is a bit more clunky now with the mod but it doesnt seem to be too bad and its defiantely no worse then my 92 GSXR1100 I had before this.

Its not really a rebuild, per say. Any reputable bike shop should be able to do it for ya.

I dont think it really effected my shifting any. I would like to get the shift kit from factory Pro but he wants $89(us) dollors for it and its seems fairly price for a spring.


Hope this helps.
 
Speed, the shift kit is more than just a spring. It also has a roller bearing detent arm. I installed the parts last week and the bike now snaps into gear - it works just like they say it does, great! :)
