Re: Clutch advice

Regarding RR on Honda, all my brothers have fitted 12v computer fans to theirs and seem OK now, but as 650 says RR's are a bought-in part for bike manufacturers and if the odd one fails you can't really blame bike maker.

Re: Clutch advice
With regard to the pull force at the clutch lever, are 2nd gen pointy clutches any easier than curvy clutches? I note that the spring part number and length in the service manuals have changed.

Re: Clutch advice
While I have way less knowledge then the guys on here.....may I suggest checking out "Righteous Stunt Metal". I also have arthritis and their RSC stunt clutch lever is what I use. The lever is shorter in length then a standard lever and is also adjustable. However if gripping and pulling in the lever regardless of ease due to pain this may not be your solution. I look forward to hearing what you go with and how it works out.

Re: Clutch advice
Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world.

Re: Clutch advice
Another thing that I would like to suggest is a book called "Clean" by Alejandro Junger. I found adjusting my diet helps my arthritis by keeping swelling down in the joints, thus improving pain. I have found the use of CBD oils to be helpful in reduction of swelling and pain.
May your pain ease and may you ride many miles! Have a great day! Glo Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk |
