can be done with a bit of machining - mate here has done it on a 250B - much easier pull also.

i have only used it when the chain has taken out the covers  female helix, making the cover totally useless anyway. you fit the plastic side in the cover then you cut the old metal part off and drill 2 holes for litle bolts,
the rest of the set up works as per normal.

i wouldnt do it unless you fork a cover up or its a dt1 shit box cover dont go cutting up YZA covers to do it so you can save $50...... just saying   >:(

I think mine has the rd250 one. The pull is steal Nd the come with the female which us plastic. Wen you drop a chain it took out he old female side in the cover, so it was cut off Nd the new plastic coil bolts straight on. The new steel helix mates with it as there a pair and it works a treat.

You've outdone yourself this time Freaky ;D ;D ;D. I'm just heading down to the preschool to see if a toddler can decipher your post for me. ;D

Just emailed a guy on ebay selling his rt1 which he has fitted a gsxr clutch actuator heres what he had to say,

"No problem suzuki p/no 2320031300 they might put it on back order but they will supply it will require a small amount of modification relocating holes in new part to match your sprocket cover [ use only 4mm bolts] and i think i inserted a ballbearing into the end of it and shortened the push rod to suit this will definatly give you a 1 or2 finger clutch depending on your cable and levers the long mcs copy of yamaha ones work great this actuator is all steel no nylon"

could be the go, im going to order one and give it a try as mine still works but looks like its split in half looking through the hole not game to pull it out to find out might no go back together if I do. Photo in the ebay finds section under black betty rt1
