eric23 Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 Just got back from a window shopping trip at my local bike shop. They had an EZ Pull clutch accessory marketed by Moose. I didn't see any instructions on the packaging (or in the package for that matter). My TY175 could use all the help in the clutch dept. and I was wondering if anybody out there has seen such a device installed or heard anything about them.

eric23 Posted August 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2004 Yes. It's designed for cable actuated clutches. I'd consider a Magura hydraulic system, but I'm probably going to buy a modern bike before too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaylael Posted August 1, 2004 Report Share Posted August 1, 2004 EZ clutch is a leverage amplifier. It works on most bikes. Tried on an '81 Maico 490 once and it dragged badly. Only time they don't work is when disengagement is a problem. Most Japanese bikes dont really have this problem. On Yamahas a lever extension is just as good. They might still be available from Yamaha accessory dept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian r Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 The MSR Raptor is one type. Chaparral has them. Bob Ginder of B&J Racing has a different type also. http://www.bjracing.com/yamaha.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattylad Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 The Yam clutch is normally v.light, I suggest a venhill featherlight clutch cable would be a better move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric23 Posted August 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 The Yam clutch is normally v.light, I suggest a venhill featherlight clutch cable would be a better move. Very good point. A new cable and upgraded perch/lever assembly would be a very good investment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliechitlins Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 A 3/4" extension on the clutch arm and make your own cable using thinner, more flexible cable will give you a 1-finger clutch. Get the cable at most hardware stores and the ends from the "HELP" section at the auto parts store. Those little brass ferrules with a set screw. Tighten the set screw, cut off the head and load it up with solder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
