Second hand SV650 slipper clutch mini-saga

[smallfrowne]

I'm now (mostly) in possession of a Sigma Racing slipper clutch. It popped up on my phone showing 10mins to go on ebay, so very spur of the moment purchase. But, I have since learnt that it is incomplete as well as quite worn.

This information is probably going to be of no use to anyone as it's so niche of an issue, but as I often find it's when things aren't going smoothly you learn the most.

 

Ya see, Sigma sell two variants of clutch for the SV, one for the run of the mill 72bhp and one for 90+ tuned up bad boys (well, not really it would still be an SV).

The beefier racing version takes two extra plates (1x friction 1x steel) and comes with a replacement clutch basket.

The standard uses standard clutch pack and OEM basket.

I have been sent a racing version without the basket, which was apparently damaged & they didn't realise it needed it (me neither), so didn't send it.

 

A few emails and calls to Neil of Sigma has made this all make sense, and a great help he's been despite me spending nothing at his shop, so far.

 

Normál version:

 

Double RR Racing version:

 

What I have:

 

So there's a few jobs to do. Make sure it fits in the standard basket. Make sure it fits behind the clutch case. Make sure the slipper clutch clearance is set right (1.0 - 1.2mm). Is the current amount of wear any trouble...
