Better quality/cheaper ez pull?
Anyone know of a source for a CHEAPER BETTER ez pull lever?
On dirt bike forums, I always recommend the MSR raptor to people wanting easier clutch pull...
But theres always people posting up from philipeans, and other countrys saying "why not use xxx lever for $15" or "what about the xxx lever for $30 that is way stronger"
Many people overseas always talk about their local dirt bike shops carrying 2-3 different brands of ez-pulls that are WAY beefier then msr's..
So basically, I'm asking ifa nyone knows about any others?
Well all know msrs are ******* trash... They break soo easy.. My last one broke within a week on my first drop..
And my second one, which I JUST installed 10 minus ago, I already broke the adjuster that aims the cable, so now it appears as if my cable is gonna eventually fray since its at some crazy weird angle in the lever now..

If you have a stock F4I lever ... use the adjuster out of that. Solved that problem for me.

Ive said it 1000 times but no one has stepped up to the plate yet, if I had the machinery Id make them myself. I WOULD
Someone *** cough cough HoHey, Full Throttle, ESD cough*** needs to make a billet EZpull perch using the MSR/Moose geometry...Made of billet with a thinner clamp, so its stronger and uses up less space on the handle bar...They dont even have to make the levers, they just need to make a billet perch with a thinner clamp...That we can use our Moose or MSR pro levers on...

Re: Better quality/cheaper ez pull?
but that still doesn't fix the problem with the 'turny thingy' that breaks and cuases the cable to aim to the first slot, when the 3rd slot is the ez pull one..
I broke mine cause I pulled in the clutch cable 'sorta' hard to install the cable.. The same thing I do on ALL my bikes that never break, but this pos msr broke

I still have 2 good levers, and 2 broke msr's lol
I even run my **** loose as ****, soo loose I gotta reposition it every couple wheelies cuase its slid all over my bar, yet it still snaps the instant it touches pavement
Kinda sad, My 150f was on the stock clutch lever for over a year before I replaced it just cause I was tired of a cut lever lol

Re: Better quality/cheaper ez pull?
i haven used after market clutch levers or perches on my old 06 r6 or my f4i, but for some reason this 636 clutch just seems so much harder to pull in... and i really dont really know any good perches/levers out there cuz iv heard so many people bitcha bout them breaking, and ive seen them in person brake on rev limiter **** and thats fucccckin crazy
edit: and to be honest if they had one that sold for 3x as much as the other ones but it actually didnt **** up like the others, but still worked like the others i would buy it

Re: Better quality/cheaper ez pull?
He just lengthened the lever that the throttle cable attaches to down by the clutch cover. If you lengthen that, it gives you more leverage = easier pull with stock lever. I am getting ready to do this this weekend, my MSR just took a **** as well. I am pretty sure you can do this on F4i's and 636's, but I don't think 600RR's have room.

Re: Better quality/cheaper ez pull?
damn what the hell do you guys do to your levers?? i had the same moose lever on 3 different bikes and now i have an msr, use a stock honda adjuster and no problems.....the levers arent long enough to hit in a crash so i dont see how you break em..

Re: Better quality/cheaper ez pull?
but on a f4i you can only extend it 1/2", which isn't easy ENOUGH..
Right now I love my setup, MSR on hte easiest setting + 1/2" longer clutch arm = BUTTER pull...
But I know one day I'mma completly break this msr, not to mention the cable holder on it is already broke so my cable is angled weird and eventually gonna fray..
but when it comes down to a bike like a 2001 R6 (my friends bike I was gonna weld his arm longeR) you CANNOt weld the arm longer at ALL because it aims directly at the engine..

Re: Better quality/cheaper ez pull?
i have a cable oiler from when i raced motorx , it forces the oil all they way down the cable ..
i usually spray wd 40 in there to clean out all the crud then i use chain wax , my cable has 22000 miles on it .........

Re: Better quality/cheaper ez pull?
I still got stock cable in my 26k mile f4i
even has a kink in it
I hung my cable up, and sprayed wd40 through it tell it leaked out the bottom, then I sprayed chain lube through it tell it leaked out the bottom.. Then let it sit for a day and threw it back on :YEAH
These are pics of the 2 bikes I ride, both with 1 finger msr setups, both prone to breaking with me riding
