Hi all, First up thanks for all the great advice and friendly people here. As some may know I have an H2. Moriman mentioned Id got a steal for £500 even though she needs some work. He also mention the KBATL clutch??

What the hell is it? is it good? what does this magical device do? is it even magic? Apologies for my inexperience but I have just come from Harley ownership and they dont seem so complicated as these fangled jap bikes.

Replies always appreciated fellas

hi kloon

i think kbatl is Kawasaki Back Torque Limiter. but im not sure if anyone of the fellas or ladys can confirm this

but that was wat i was told when i was like 15 years old lol


hope this helps than deano

yes thats right. not sure which, but some ZXR's came with slipper clutches which is what KBATL is refering too.

didnt there inherit them from the zxr 750 h1/2 models because of the endrance racing they where in ?

Back Torque Limiter or Slipper clutch

Makes for rapid downshifts with out the rear end hoping about

Some companies also claim you get better power transfer through them so increasing rear wheel BHP but until I done a back to back test I wouldn't count it.

End of the day, it is a good thing to have

I have just bought an engine to use some bits off and noticed it appears to have the KBATL clutch, is it a case of simple swapping the inner clutch hubs over to swap it into my original motor? also will an EBC SRK kit make much difference?

i just swapped mine over [h1] no mods needed, ebc fibers will fit
