Re: Clutch Lever

["David Arnett" <DArnett@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We just got to remember here that there is no such thing as a free lunch.  With a cable actuated clutch, the amount of work required to fully disengage the clutch will remain the same, regardless of the lever used.  Work equals Force X Distance, which will make this "Span Reduction" (less distance) kit equate to a stiffer (greater Force required) clutch pull, which may work better for those with shorter than average fingers.  I used to feel that I almost had to reach for the mirror before finding the clutch lever, but am now used to it.  Since Triumph opted for the cable actuated clutch, they had to make the "span" large to make the effort less, otherwise the magazines will be complaining about the stiff clutch.

I just noticed on the new Triumph Homepage that a 
"CLUTCH LEVER SPAN REDUCTION KIT" is available. I'm
sure it wasn't available earlier in the year.
