TonyGee Posted January 13, 2023 Author Posted January 13, 2023 2 minutes ago, Mike711 said: What measurement do you have from the lever pivot bolt to the cable nipple centre/centre? There are clutch lever assemblies available down to 24mm, they use more lever travel but do give a much lighter feel. 28mm Quote
Mike711 Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 If you have enough reserve travel TWM make a 26mm assy or Accossato make one in 24mm. 1 Quote

TonyGee Posted January 13, 2023 Author Posted January 13, 2023 just knocked this up, bit crude but its just for testing, it will go on the way it sits in the pic (upside down) as the cable will be bent up otherwise. cost me nothing so nothing lost if it doesn't work. not gona get chance to fit and test it for a while though 2 Quote

coombehouse Posted January 30, 2023 Posted January 30, 2023 Just noticed that webike Japan do a couple of different clutch release arms in different lengths with adjustment holes. Not overly expensive though that's without the shipping & customs charges. 1 Quote
dynodave Posted February 1, 2023 Posted February 1, 2023 I saw this mod recently to go with your extended lever 1 Quote
TonyGee Posted February 1, 2023 Author Posted February 1, 2023 that would help keeping the cable in line i managed to get out on the bike yesterday and with what ive done so far has made a difference, still heavier than an oil cooled clutch but better than it was. Quote
TonyGee Posted March 26, 2023 Author Posted March 26, 2023 update, finally got round to fitting the home made clutch arm, and its made a big difference. i can now pull the clutch with 2 fingers but better with 4 really happy with it as I was thinking of changing the engine or selling the bike as it was pretty painful. but now its a joy to ride just need some warmer weather now will make or buy a better looking arm at some point. 6 Quote
TonyGee Posted March 28, 2023 Author Posted March 28, 2023 had a bit of an idea, gona find a gear lever that'll fit the splines and cut it down to length. might look a bit better. Quote
TonyGee Posted April 4, 2023 Author Posted April 4, 2023 (edited) got an old gear lever and cut it down, had to flatten it a bit but looks better than the bodgy one i made. 55mm hole centres if anyone is interested. the only drawback is i have no freeplay at the clutch lever to stop the drag but no slip when wound on.

HUM Posted April 12, 2023 Posted April 12, 2023 Hi that with the slightly longer lever really works??? I once addressed the same problem in a Suzi forum, because someone said that it didn't work because the path was too long or something similar... some kind of physics stuff with levers... I've been toying with the part of https:// for a long time. www.webike.de/products/21416335.html Cheers Uli Quote
