Default Re: Clutch Lever Replacement

The lever alone can be changed.

1. Slacken the cable adjuster fully.
2. Remove the two cross-head screws under the lever bracket and remove the clutch switch, (this step is not absolutely necessary, but if you're unsure of how the clutch switch engages in the lever it's easier that way).
3. Remove the nut under the clutch lever pivot, remove the pivot screw.
4. Pivot the clutch lever forward on the cable, align the slot in the lever with the cable and remove the nipple from the lever.

Do that in reverse with the new one, some grease around the pivot bolt and cable nipple would be a good idea. Make sure that the pin of the clutch switch engages with the recess in the lever.
