VP 92 T

<< < (16/16)

Big Al:
FWIW, I have had a VP92T for the last 2500 miles or so.

My FLHTCUSE (see what's in it below) was breaking the clutch lose at WOT and 4500+ revs (felt like a missed shift).

Now it locks up and goes! Even makes the front wheel light. No increase in clutch effort whatever...
 
Easy enough to put in that I did it myself- of course hd-dude checked on the next service... :nervous:

(If the dealer ever takes the Primary off my warranty is toast what with the GP Bearing support and the VP92T :nixweiss:)

Best $200 I ever spent.

How can you not love a product that comes with a sticker that say "Life Begins at 220 MPH"! ::) Hoist! 8)

Anyone familiar with the install of these things on an '07? The instructions speak of a Cable actuated adjustable clutch. I have an ’07 SERK with the Hydraulic Clutch actuator. Also, there is no clutch adjustment on the ’07. So the first 2 items in the insructions are in question.

1. They say to back off on the clutch cable adjustment. Do I need to open the bleeder or do anything with the Hydraulic system to install this?
2. They say to adjust the clutch adjuster. Since there is none, I assume to just ignore this step.
 
Basically, I assume to ignore Steps 1 and 2, and just install it. What's with bending the tabs?

Is there anything else I need to know or do for an ’07 model?

I'd like to have all this straight in my mind before installing it. TIA for any help ya'll can provide.

I also have the hydraulic clutch so as you say "do nothing".

The tab bending is simple and I think helps to hold it in there while you snug up the new plate.  The rotating pressure 'thingies' push up against each of those tabs to distribute the pressure...There was a previous thread on this somewhere which I can't find...

My key worry was that the VP92 wouldn't contact the inside of the Derby cover...I spent a lot of time measuring but actually for 06 there is no issue...I also went to Tak's site and while its mostly Japanese, there is a video there which is 'self' expalnatory...

Hope this helps..

Thanks Al! It does help. :2vrolijk_21: I heard from Hippo yesterday and he also said to ignore the first 2 steps completely. Thanks for the clean copy of the instruction sheet too! Looks like a pretty simple installation. Hoist! 8)
