Re: [St] Lighten the clutch pull on a Tiger or ST



The last thing I would look at is if it really is just too stiff with your weakened hand right now, then maybe rig some extension on the clutch arm at the case. But keep it short, something 1/2 or less (3/8 would be better) will dramatically change the leverage ratio between the clutch and the perch. Just remember this will also shorten the total throw of the clutch lever and make the engagement range much narrower. Or to put it very simply, it will be alot easier and shorter to pull it in, but engagement band will be very short and touchy.

A small extension will drastically change the leverage ratio, but while extending the arm at the engine will make the clutch pull easier, it will lengthen, not shorten, the clutch throw. It will become even more important to make sure there is very little slack in the clutch cable, because it will probably require a full pull to completely disengage the clutch.
