all easy pull levers break way to easy thats why the clutch arm mod is better in my opinion ..it will never break

Re: adjusting clutch cable too tight!?

i know this is going to sound REALLY stupid, but check to be sure your clutch cable isnt kinked or caught on something. i just had to put a new clutch in my bike, and it took me a good bit to adjust the clutch to my liking.

Re: adjusting clutch cable too tight!?

It would be for the same purpose. the welded mod sound like it would hold up a little better. i never tryed it. let me know how it works if you go that way..
