Hydraulic Gear Shifting for Suzuki M109 R2

#1 Unread post by rdavidz »

I would like to know if there is the possibility to change the mechanical gear shifting, in the Boulevard Suzuki M109 R2 to an hydraulic gear shifting.
Thanks for the help,
Dave

Are you talking about making the transmission into a fully auto slushbox as per most cars in North America? Because that would take take huge sums of cash and large chunks of time. And it still wouldn't be a comparable system.

You can buy aftermarket electric shift kits, but you still have to push a button to change gear.

I am talking about making the clutch more softer, due to the fact the clutch in this motorcycle is hard enough to engage too brisk making the bike more prone to jerk.

Ummm, well not really gonna find something. A slipper clutch might work, but they don't make one for that bike. That clutch has got to handle a ton of torque, so it has to be kinda rough.
