Oh! We’re out of stock, so the Inazuma 1200 post is running late today… <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We posted a special episode hoping for heavy traffic over Obon! Special episode!
But the interest only lasted at first… it’s going to be pretty understated… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So everyone, here’s the long-awaited? oil-cooled 1200 being converted to a wire clutch! <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The biggest benefit is never needing to change clutch fluid again (laugh) <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

That’s huge for me personally. You don’t need a clutch release overhaul either.
With a wire, the release becomes mechanical, so you just disassemble and lubricate and you’re done. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I really love Gale Speed master\/holder. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I think it’s really good, but it’s surprisingly not widespread. Brake masters too…

I understand not wanting to fail, not wanting to be made fun of, so reaching for safe, well-known brands…
Subtle self-expression is important.

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You can change the ratio by swapping wire boss pieces. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The one I bought
is leftover from when I was thinking of using it for a project like “from KZ frame back in the day” or something.
This boss comes with 28\/30 mm, but… I can’t find the 30 mm…

Just think of it roughly as: smaller numbers = lighter, bigger numbers = heavier. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Huh? There’s no clutch switch setting? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It seems you use the stock one as-is, but…
The Inazuma has a terrible slide switch (what era is this from…?) so it’s unusable.

You can get by without a clutch switch, but…
Since I’m getting older, lately I want it to look more stock-ish?

Probably
Daytona NISSIN motorcycle clutch master cylinder radial spare part clutch switch ASSY 66826 <\/a>
might be it. Still sourcing it, so don’t buy it yet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Middle-aged = label maker (P-TOUCH) <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since the ratio is 28 mm, so you don’t forget…
No need to remember. The overall look is like this \u2013 full of machined-out vibes.

If it were the 20th century, it would definitely be factory parts level. Very multifunctional. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This dial lets you adjust how far or close the lever is. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You might think “huh?” but…
Normal wire clutches basically only let you adjust the wire play.

You adjust far or close within the range you can cut, and the rest is just getting used to it! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending on position, the dead stroke is extremely small <\/strong>.
If you set a wire clutch to engage close, doesn’t the lever play get all sloppy?
That kind of thing is greatly reduced ( \uff9f\u0414\uff9f) Amazing! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Adjustable wire adjustment with click feel. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unlike stock, no locking needed (*’\u25bd’)
Basically it’s easy.
The dial diameter is also large, so you can make soft adjustments.
Click click \u266a <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Those holes like the old Z brand used are unnecessary ( \uff9f\u0414\uff9f) <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you talk about cool wire clutch holders, it was ~Zeet! (company)
but the holes bother me during operation… subtly…

With this, I’m not bothered at all ( \uff9f\u0414\uff9f) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We don’t do this for customers, so do your best yourself! ( \u00b4\u8278\uff40) <\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
