All rights reserved. R&D SUPERCHARGER CLUTCH REMOVAL TOOL This R&D tool enables the clutch to be changed in a matter of only minutes. With the supercharger and front engine cover removed the tool drops down through the case and secures the drive gear at the front of the crankshaft from rotating when the clutch is removed and installed. This is a “must have” tool that will save massive amounts of time for any mechanic.

Description Part No. R&D FX-SHO/FZR/VXR/VXS 080-21024 Front Engine Cover Gasket R&D SUPERCHARGER BLOCK-OFF PLATE The R&D Supercharger Block-off Plate is designed to seal the case on the front of the engine that is exposed when the supercharger is removed for a Turbo application. Description Part No. R&D Supercharger Block-off Plate 612-19100 R&D FX-SHO/FZR/FZS SILICONE INTAKE HOSE KIT The R&D Yamaha FX-SHO/FZR/FZS Supercharger High Performance Hose Kit was developed while testing the R&D Monster Compressor Wheel Kits. Higher boost pressures create higher intake air temperatures of up to 235 degrees. The OEM standard black rubber hose and standard hose clamps just do not hold up to the pressures and heat like high quality, high temperature silicone hose and high strength stainless steel T-bolt style hose clamps. The R&D “Blue Hose” is manufactured from high performance, turbo charger quality high-temperature silicone. The R&D silicone hose installs easily in place of the OEM rubber elbow hose, and T-bolt clamps will keep the hose secure for the longest of endurance races.

The Superclutch is a supplemental clutch system that is designed “specifically” for the Yamaha to be used along with the OEM Sprag drive system. The R&D clutch design utilizes an “Oil-Loaded” Friction Disc design which will dampen constantly changing rotational mass energies, and aggressive moment of inertia shock loads that have proven to over stress the OEM Sprag clutch drive and cause failures. The new R&D Superclutch and shaft system is CNC machined from premium billet steel alloy, heat treated, and precision ground between centers to strict aircraft tolerances. This R&D system features a unique one-piece billet shaft design that utilizes a proven high pressure, through-shaft oiling technique to lubricate the billet drive gear bearing, clutch system friction discs, and the “all important” additional rear third bearing. The Superclutch shaft features (an R&D standard) oversized threads and a flanged nut proven in design to not fatigue or break under extreme conditions and allows charger impeller torque specs to be increased safely. The R&D Superclutch drive gear is machined from billet steel alloy, heat treated for proper hardness, and the tooth profile is precision CNC ground to OEM Yamaha specifications. The clutch surfaces of the R&D gear features special “oil-holding” wiper slots that provide improved oiling to increase lubrication to the clutch discs. The R&D clutch discs are precision machined, heat treated, and ground to exact tolerance utilizing only the finest materials tested and proven to be the best in these type systems. The R&D third bearing support design is integrated into a new back housing cover machined from billet aluminum with a creative precision alignment flange to insure 100% trueness and support to the third bearing. The third bearing assembly adds a tremendous amount of shaft support which will keep the shaft in line and free from the stresses of “gear climb”. The third bearing assembly will also relieve stresses on the chargers main thrust system. For Periodic clutch maintenance and adjustments, R&D has made it easy. The clutch slip can be adjusted easily, and clutch discs inspected and or changed out without removing the shaft from the supercharger with the special tool kit provided with each system. Minor machine work is required to the rear of the supercharger housing in order to achieve proper drive gear alignment (mating to the jack gear) and to true up the back cast surface so the third bearing housing cover mounts precision and true to the shaft centerline position. Machining is available from R&D, or your local machine shop can follow the kit supplied blue print.
