Title: Adjustable clutch lever
Post by: kpmunt on February 03, 2009, 04:28:10 PM
Anybody know of a replacement clutch lever that reduces the reach a bit?  On my 01 the reach is about to the max of my hand and borders on being uncomfortable.  Any ideas?

Take a look at the ones on a 08/09 Scrambler.

scrambler / bonneville clutch levers won't fit (already tried that one!). The brake lever will though.

What I did - I just adjusted the lever so that it starts to engage about 1" from the grip - so to fully disengage it, you have to hold it against the grip... which I do anyway. At the end of the travel, there will be some "slop" - because the factory / official settings are free play at the other end.

Basically - I figure it like this - as long as when I squeeze the lever it's fully disengaged, and when I release it is fully engaged - and there is enough room to adjust using the adjuster at the lever - then, it's set correctly.

try setting it closer to the grip?
