Extra oil holes in clutch basket?

[Frankie Figs]

I have an 06 GSXR. I've seen road racers drill a few extra holes in the clutch basket to improve clutch oiling. Have any of you guys heard of or done this?

Thanks,
Frankie

had it done with good results, did buddies with good results as well.

that was one of the first things i did to mine, you will be able to tell a big diff. in clutch life

a must do on 1000's

I ran one with extra holes and now im tryin a basket without extra holes. I cant tell a diff in performance and havnt had bike back together long enough to compare clutch life??

[Frankie Figs]

Ok, thanks guys!

You drill the basket or the hub?

The basket. If you go here you can see where the stock holes are and where you can drill more. The rest of that thread is about modding the slipper to work better for road racing.

I did on my 05 but my girls 06 isnt and I cant tell much difference.

it seems like so many people have clutch problems on the k5 and up, but i've had the best of luck with mine. completely stock including steels/fibers i probably had over 100 passes at stock wheelbase. i'm just now replacing the fibers cause the stack height got to the bottom of the servicable limit. bike has 5k street miles on it too!

You should really get rid of the slipper cuz it can blow up! At least thats what Ive heard.

i dont think its an issue of blowing anything up, i think it's a clutch wear problem on deceleration. slipper clutches are for road racing, and i dont do that stuff anymore. i took the the three slipper adjustment screws/pins out a while back, so i guess its not 100% stock.

Its only what I heard. Ive never actually talked to anyone that has had it blow up.

you arent gonna tell a difference on a drag bike. the reason for doing it is for the slipper that is factory in the 05 and up 1000s. The extra oil helps keeps any engine braking from happening. there is no need to do it on a drag only bike, but on a street, or road race bike it is a must do.
