STM Slipper Clutches Now Available For Most Japanese Sportbikes

From a press release issued by Lockhart-Phillips USA:

STM SLIPPER CLUTCHES—NOT JUST FOR ITALIAN SPORTBIKES ANYMORE

Slipper clutches were once considered the unobtanium of factory racers and in-the-know Ducatisti. Now, they come stock on such tire-shredding devices as the 20005 GSX-R1000 as Kawasaki’s line of ZX corner carvers. Bringing its World Superbike success to the street, STM’s tunable, ramp-ball-type slipper clutches are now available for most current and late-model Japanese sportbikes, as well as the full stable of Italian stallions.

Designed to eliminate rear-wheel chatter and the resulting chassis instability that occurs upon aggressive downshifting, slipper clutches reduce flywheel drag and engine braking to make tap-dancing gear changers into smooth operators—smoothness being the key to safe, fun sport riding. In addition to better keeping the back end under control, STM slippers offer increased clutch life, reduced clutch-lever effort and greater sensitivity in low-traction conditions.

STM slipper clutches are solely distributed in the United States by The Phillips Motorsport Group, the headquarters for Lockhart Phillips USA and Options Italia products.

RETAIL PRICE: Starting at $1145.95

or just learn to blip the throttle.

[Dominator]

My bike has one and I have no idea how to use it I wonder if it's bad if I blip the throttle anyway on a downshift.

[GPTECHMAN]

[Arnold_R1]

its not bad, not really going to make much of a difference. only once you excede the torque it can handel

just run it to red in third, slam it to second and pop the clutch,....then you will feel it, dont blow your *@#$*@#$*@#$*@#$ up though :)

have you tuned it yet? I heard in stock form its a little passive.

[kawboy]

I reduced the clutch stack as per the race manual. It's something you can do to all 7R's 96+. $100 bucks isn't too bad to spend on a slipper clutch.

Well yoyodyne slipper clutches are much less expensive then the STM's and they work great!.
I have one installed in my 04 R1...
