How, or more precisely, where do you fit one of these things?
The SV650 naked curvy has a tight space and the cable already has a built in tight bend to make sure it misses the instrument cluster. Putting it in inline at the handlebar would make it run into this.
I've already had a new cable, cleaned and regreased the worm drive, greased the lever end and all is as good as it's going to be, but I'm concerned it may still be a bit tight for me on a regular basis. I've recently had tennis elbow in my left elbow, probably partially caused by the repeated use of the clutch on my daily commute, and I would prefer to avoid a recurrence. So, if I can make the clutch lighter, this will be preferable to the other alternative (giving up riding for another month or two
).
