Clutch Take Up
Permalink  
 

OK, so when the clutch is in all the way, no drag or anything, fully disengaged then slowly let it out and nothing till it hits a very narrow section of 15mm

Lever is adjusted with about 5mm of play at the very end of the lever, so 75mm travel pulled fully in, clutch take-up begins at 30mm out and fully out at 45mm

 

so it's pretty well dead in the middle

00mm - 30mm still disengaged
30mm - 45mm take-up area
45mm - 75mm fully engaged of course

So my question is this, how do I increase the take up area ??

I was thinking extend the "Clutch Push Arm" the one on the top of the gearbox say 5-10mm, that will efectivly make the clutch lever have to move more

to get the same movement at the push arm ??

Any suggestions anyone ??

that will work...
a common mod is to add 20mm to the xt660 arm to lighten
a very heavy clutch....also gives a bigger engaugement area...

Thanks for the info, I was just out walking the dog and was having second thoughts about which way I should go, in or out ?

so 20mm on the XT

I find the 1 finger on the TTR is a difficult pull, 2 is OK, 3 is best but only leaves 1 finger on the grip, eek, blankstare

I'll be trying that soon

How did you add 20mm onto the XT

I was thinking weld it on but try to leave the original position as well, it's a tight fit in there

Cheers

It's a bugger to do on the TTR by the looks of it, the swing arm pivot is right in the way but do-able I think

Have to think on it, maybe look around online see if I can find a lever solution

 

Thanks for the link, had to join, can't see photo's yet.

Clutch easy pull.... copy of the moose racing unit...
makes the pull easyer and lengthens the pull length..
