Tease...

 

Here's an email I just sent SATO:

Dear Sato,

I would like to order some replacement parts for my new rearsets I just got in yesterday. It is for a YZF-R1 ’04 (L). On the Shifter side… I will need part # 14, 4, 13 & 15.

I was wondering if it is common for the button head, #4 to bend? I am configured gp style and it seems to have bent ALOT and wondering what I could do to prevent this from happening? Also… the reason for these ordered parts… is because Plain Nut #15 came off as I was riding (gp style). Is there any way to prevent it from coming off again? I used loctite and it still came off, therefore loosening Male Rod End #14. It was my first day riding with them on, and I already have problems. I love the product… it’s just that I haven’t had any time to enjoy it, since I already have to order new replacement parts within less a day of riding.

Please let me know more details

------------------------

Basically I installed them on last night and rode around the neighborhood checking if everything was properly on. Retightened some bolts and seems like good to go for work next morning.

I wake up and ride to work… a few miles later… I notice I cannot shift any longer. The shifter is not in its place and I can no longer shift. Turns out, one of the nuts came off connecting the shifter to the rod that engages the gears. Crap. I pull over.

I put loctite on and everything… and it still came off. I’m bummed, cause It has been less than a day…and now I have to order some new replacement parts. Life’s not fair.

I’ll post up pictures when I get the parts and install them. It should be a week, since Sato is out until December 4th.

 

let me know how they feel and shift in standard and reverse, my wife just got my black ones in the mail today from dan kyle, how long to install also, thanks

I thought this sort of thing only happened to me. That really sucks. Especially since those are such a nice looking pair of rear sets. Good luck with the repair job, I hope they have an answer for you as far as preventing that from happening again goes.

 

^^^ really? did the same extact thing happen to you? what happened? I'd like to know.

 

Tease...

I’ve only shifted in reverse… and it takes some getting used to. With the problem I have now… I’m seriously contemplating on going back to standard shifting. I’m not sure yet. While on reverse mode, I had to always remind myself that its 5 down and 1 up.

The quality of these rearsets is overkill… which I like. Everything feels and looks good. It is strong as can’t be bent, maybe except for some screws than have bent… (like on mine already!) It took me awhile to install… at least 2 hours… since I like to be thorough and I’m not a natural mechanically inclined kinda guy. So I like to take my time. Also, putting on loctite on everything and testing out what position feels best takes up a lot of the time as well. Plus, the instructions are crappy and you kinda just have to figure it out and guestimate where everything goes by looking at the pictures.

It’s a pain the as$... but all worth it if they’re on properly and ready to go. Good luck and post up some pics will ya… as you install yours.

 

you guys are starting to worry me, did you let the loctite dry well before riding

 

i put the loctite on overnight. it was a good 6 hours.

 

what screws bent, i dont want to have to return or sell mine

 

just one screw... not sure if its normal though.

dont worry man... its a good product.

 

My wife sent me these pics of mine that just came with an ohlins damper

 

and

 

nice!! looks like mine, except in black. when will you be installing yours?

 

thats a sharp looking 520 kit, is that the sprocketcenter's black rrp front and rear sprocket with rk gold chain, also i like the no front sprocket cover look, any issues with that

 

yup yup... got it from sprocket center... I believe for both chain and rear sprocket.. $185.00. You tell them your gearing and they cut the chain for you.

No sprocket cover... no issues at all. I just make sure my laces aren't dangling out. Even so, it is 8 inches away from my feet. Just make sure you maintain your chain. I clean mine with wd40 every week. It looks brand new!

 

Awesome, I have the exact same ones and they are amazing. They make a huge difference in ease of shifting. I had them professionally installed with other parts and they have been fine!

 

Alrighty... I guess I'll post up the pics of my rear sets... even though the shifter side is not to par:


Here, I'm missing a ball bearing rod end, which connects the shift link to the shift pedal.

Zooming out view:

You see the shift pedal dangle?? It is because nothing is holding it into place.

Look how this screw bent! Not good.

This is NOT what the left rear set is suppose to look like.

The right side turned out good.

Another angle.

With the help of photoshop... here's what the final product is suppose to look like on my bike:

Don't get me wrong... I love these rearsets. I wouldn't get any other. If you're thinking about getting Sato's... definantly do your research among other brands... and you decide. They are top-notch quality material and very pimp. In a week, when I get my replacement parts... I'll be ready to go.

 

when i get home in January from iraq

 

did your left side rearset (Shift side) look like the heel guard wasnt there, , in the pic she sent me the left one looks like it has no heel guard but i kinda looks like that in your pic, but after the install it is there
