old trials fanatic Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Normal mod to lighten the clutch. Seen worse, seen better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roester Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Yes, the clutch arm has been extended - the standard one is in one piece. The clutch is excellent on these - strong, light and lasts for ages. The additional spring shouldn't be needed - I would think doing what you suggest with the standard spring should do it. If it needs more than the original spring there is something wrong. There is no harm in extending the clutch arm by this amount, and if the cable is well lubed, has a clean run and the clutch lever and bracket are in good condition, the clutch should be very light. Good luck with it - they are great bikes - Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosey Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Try it shorter... they are light enough anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedktor Posted February 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Thanks for the comments, will try it as is and see how it goes. Will have to experiment with the spring I guess... Going to order up a new cable anyway as the one here is shot, how about this?: http://www.tytrials.co.uk/trailandtrialsuk/prod_43349--13-Venhill-Clutch-Cable-TY250-amp-TY350-Mono.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosey Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Don't get mixed up with 'misc - jazz mags' or you might be there for a while No the misc jazz mags are still at your house... remember that you borrowed them for some ahem 'research' No clutch cable... just throttle cable and front brake hose (and a TYZ rear brake hose)plus some other misc ! Shedco had all the good stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
