EZ-Pull Clutch set up for Jota

[Grant]

It's better not to lubricate Nylon-lined cables. Can cause swelling or degradation of the liner.
Just lubricate the pivot ends. I use copper-slip grease.

 

[TheWrongTrousers]

I might try rubbing some of that copper slip on my elbow, it could save me a lot of trouble and expense.

My offer is open Tom...there might be someone local with the extended arm so you could compare, but I dont know of anyone offhand. Guess you could ask on the ILOC site if  you area member.. if not then splash the cash and join?

Sort your position on the bike.
Use some sort of elastic support for the elbow, you'll be amazed.

And practice clutchless gear changes.

Ok..get a hydraulic clutch rather than a cheapskate makeshift extender arm..

Why not get the clutch and gearbox modified at the same time?          cheapskate

I've got one of Greg Parish' Easy Clutch Actuators sitting on the shelf in my garage (UK), if anyone needs one? Send me a PM

 

[nick7]

Aberdeen Dave, pop along to Glasgow...your problem gearbox can be sorted too ..mine is fine thanks :-*  btw does fitting the longer actuator invlove mutilating the cover by cutting a slot? Fugly...

 

[Grant]

And why might that be Alan?

No slot required! This one has a bottle opener as well:

 

[nick7]

Hmm...well there's a slot in the rubber and each to their own, but looks Heath Robinson to me..

I find that if you practice crushing walnuts in your left hand ...... the clutch pull is reduced significantly.

Gee, it's a shame the factory designers so badly lacked taste when they cut into the cover on those fugly 750 SFC's. World renowned as one of the ugliest motos ever built.

 

[motoddrob]

And, strangely enough, my SFC 750 was the lightest clutch pull of all my Laverda.

Paul

That said maybe I should replace the original clutch cable currently fitted.
My SFC clutch is seriously heavy

 

[piranha-bro2]

Better get an unmutilated clutch cover assembly while you're at it, Rob  :-* :-* :-*

 

[Laverda SF]

Agree, never had stiff clutch lever issues with my 750 SF0 unless the clutch cable or clutch stack was DIRTY. One thing I recommend is get rid of that stupid lead puck in the lever as it will break - Replace it with a stainless nut that you round to fit, drill a cable sized hole, splay the cable end and fill with solder or lead.

Or else carry a Vise Gripe tool with you when it brakes.

Could easily shift with my center index finger when the motor was running - With the motor stopped was a different matter.

If your really in a FIX you don't need a clutch on a Breganzie - Just BANG it - Can't do that from a Stop unless you wind the starter out - Or use that Vise grip with a broken cable - LOL

I preferred that Manual Laverda Clutch Cable over most Hydraulic Controls. Why? - A twitch and instantaneous.

One of the best manual cable clutch mechanisms I've ever used and second nature to adjust if you have any experience with one.

How many index fingers do you have?
