I was wondering that !!! couldn't tell if it was longer or not

on the longer arm do you remember the hole centres ?

nice one, thanks Clive

did you loose much clutch arm travel with the longer arm Clive ?

yeah i already found them but thanks anyway ET

whats the longer arm off ? ive been looking for one for a while now.

will they swap ? I didn't think they would but Im probably wrong

its a shame their isn't a fix for the heavy clutch its the only thing that spoils the riding, my hands/fingers will not get any better over time only worse so I don't have many options !!!! only sell the bike or change the engine

If you go back and read my first post where I said I bought a CHEAP Chinese one says its not gona last so the clue was the CHEAP bit !!!! I bought it as an experiment to see if they work or not, if it didn't its no big money loss. as to the cable and lever i can sort them easy its the clutch drag thats the problem. as to an apology isn't gona happen as of the constant picking at me and what I post !!!! we can't all be perfect but I thought the emoji would of made light of my quote

this is inside

the idea behind it is good but it does have its drawbacks, the quality is low so i can't see it lasting for long !!!! yeah the short cable can be replaced and the weak lever inside looks like it could break at any time, but a new lever could be made out of a stronger material. the other thing ive noticed is it has a slightly shorter pull on the clutch cover lever and im getting clutch drag !!! I will be removing it for now and think on it.

I spent a lot of time on bray hill (just down from the start/finish straight) you are just 3 feet from bikes going past at 180mph amazing. and theirs lots going on around the pits as well. but the course is pretty dam big so plenty of places to be, parliament square is a good spot too in Ramsey. one thing though you will need plenty of cash as its not cheap !!!!!!!

I can't help with where to stay sorry, im lucky I have family who live their, but one thing I do know is you will love it

them jets are all over the place !!!!! generally the larger 2 jets are in carb 2 & 3 so they run slightly cooler. what does the manual say the jets should be ?

yep as Toni said, let your head rule your heart

yep double skinned

their stainless Denis so can be welded then flattened back then polished

they are a good reliable bike if its been looked after, service parts are easy to get but you might struggle on things like bodywork if it ever needs it. good luck and enjoy your new bike if you buy it.

whats the plan now, rebuild or find another engine ?

for the nay Sayers this is an experiment to see if it works, now I know it does help I will revise the unit and put it at the other end of the clutch cable, also get a better short cable made up with the correct fitting for the cover arm. also the lever inside it looks weak so will make a stronger one.

its this one Dezza. their are better quality ones but cost more, i just wanted to try them first to see if it helped. Easy Pull Clutch Activator for Gurls blouse CRF150F/CRF230F 2003-2016 CRF230L 2008-2016 | Eblag

yeah i thought about fitting it at the other end of the cable but I wanted to see how it felt first, its made from aluminium so it probably would be ok !!!! but the short cables it comes with doesn't have the right fitting for the short arm on the clutch cover. I did see the cable run mod going round the side of the cylinders but just dont like the look of it

I love riding my GSX11 but one thing that I don't like is the heavy clutch pull. I have R.A. so its a real struggle to pull when in traffic and just ruins the experience !!! if it wasn't for the R.A. i'd live with it. ive fitted new plates and standard springs, a new cable and even a needle bearing at the clutch lever pivot bolt and its no better. so I thought about using one of them clutchlite things, it only the cheap Chinese one but its made a difference, its about 30% lighter which i can live with , the only draw back is it looks shite on the bars
