I'm being asked to confirm the part numbers for owners shipping new baskets here for the modification before fitting. You can also ship used but perhaps in the closed season. The main part required is the clutch basket. Yamaha name is Primary Driven Gear Comp. 23P-16150-00-00. Two other parts...

Some fooled with the dampers in the Suzuki's clutches - That was not me. Some were welding and grinding the springs seats, trying different springs and putting shims in the standard springs. In many cases it was reported they moved the problems to somewhere else in the range or introduced new...

Is this a question for me who's been rebuilding them for a while with a product for now - or those who might have something in the end? By invitation from and with the help of members here I fathomed out what was wrong and developed a solution. Decided I could include this modification at a cost...

Any news from them on the basket yet. They have been at it for months and only now taken a used one from autoteach for R&D. They had a ready made pressure plate coil spring conversion because the spring is the same as the FJR which they have made for some time.# Check the cushion spring and...

Yes its an easy job. Don't have to drain the oil or even break into the cooling system. Please note Yamaha go to great lengths to give both a loosening and tightening sequence for the many cover bolts. IMHO its over cautious, but they might know it can distort easily. Full set of instructions...

Expensive option when compared to modification of the older 2010 to 2013 clutch basket units. These behave exactly as the manufacturers intended after my modification. I have many others on the way for this following the great results reported by roll_it_on and ianf. I have a full set of...

Thank you for the update on the modified basket roll_it_on. I contacted a Yamaha dealer here in Europe to buy a basket by the old part number for a 2010 to 2013 build. Response - "3 to 4 weeks from order placement (stocked in Japan only).. Once ordered can not be cancelled".. For good measure...

They certainly have the right words in that latest marketing speak to address the concerns in this thread. Be interesting to see what actually materialises as an engineering fix. This is the Suzuki VStrom scenario all over again but their fixes proved to have made no difference over time. Hoping...

I'm not running Yamaha or any other manufacturer down at all over these vibration issues. The big four manufacturers in Japan are renown for their quality management. Point I wished to make is some issues get attention from manufacturers because their is clear evidence, legislation or perhaps a...

Oil leaking with pictures are good hard evidence to the factory something is wrong. Shows what and where needs their attention. Plus they can't ignore it even if they don't have time or funds to look into it. The first owner who claims they slid off on an oil splattered tyre might have a strong...

Are you saying you missed any posts about "evidence of oil leaks on the rear tire" & "low road speed dependent vibrations"? To clarify these are not related to the clutch vibration issue. http://www.yamahasupertenere.com/index.php?topic=10272.msg170277#msg170277 there are other cases reported...

The Suzuki's fixed with the sharealike re-engineered clutch baskets were all but one out of warranty. A - because the vibration was seldom ever there from new. And B - then typically two years or more where many owners dismissed it as just "a big V twin thing". And C - the dealers told everyone...

Thank you for your contribution arjayes. Do you think the bike vibrated straight off the showroom floor? A few have reported this. Have you performed that "feathering the clutch" check as you pass through the vibes to see if they reduce? That should help you separate out the potential clutch...

Much more to come. ::008:: No time for PR and the fluffy distracting sales stuff though. Must have six Suzuki modified baskets out the door by Wednesday so they are with their owners (in four different countries) for the weekend. Then its a take down of my machines to adapt the tooling to...

Thank you ianf and roll_it_on for your support and patience through the prototyping and testing of the re-designed engine torsion damper - aka clutch basket. Ianf, although here in the UK is still a full days ride away and roll_it_on in CA being a long haul flight away means we never met...

I wondered too. Might be one where you can camp safe in the knowledge your neighbours wont be constantly popping round for a chat or a jump start (nudge, nudge, wink, wink) and ruin your read of a good book. Perhaps not the spot for a loud pipe either. Number of S10s in dealers (not registered)...

Thank you for the recognition. I could have this wrong, but feel I'm being ticked off for my open show all contribution. Please point out anything you think unprofessional in what I have shared here with all, including potential vendors, perhaps future competitors and those who might be...

Some of these engines vibrate before reaching the first fill up after leaving the showroom. Not going to be down to riding style for many. I assure you fixing the stock unit is far from straight forward. Taken me from the start date of this thread until now with various designs, developments...

Thank you for your support, time and patience in all this. Plenty riding on the outcome of this in more ways than one. I wish to make clear this is the very first ST basket trialled for me by roll_it_on. He was also one of the very first to trial my original VStrom clutch basket modification...
