I have tendonitis in my left wrist and that Sportster clutch in my S3 is killing me. Does anyone know of a lighter set of springs or any other solutions? thanks |

Terry, Do a search on Muller or just check it out at American Sport Bike. I haven't used one but, there is a lot of positive feedback posted here. |

I've got the lighter clutch spring out of a Uly in my S2. It's a drop in replacement, but of course the primary cover has to come off and a special tool is needed to swap out the clutch spring, however it does reduce the lever effort. 1313 |

Yeah, that Uly spring helped me a lot. The other thing might be a Barnes 'superslick' clutch cable. They are cheaper than the factory ones, and have like a teflon sheath or something, that makes them pull super-slick. Also, Drag Specialties sells a "ClutchLite" that is just the inner piece of the Muller Power Clutch, and it only cost about $35, as opposed to $150.

Have you tried grabbing the lever out further from the pivot for more leverage? Cost = $0 Sometimes, I notice that I choke up on the lever in traffic, making it harder to pull. I have to force myself to get it out further. |

MRC Clutch Effort Reduction Kit: http://www.phaedruscycle.com/ Do a search on badweb for these. Pso (Paul) put one in his Uly to ease the pull, due I think to arthritis. Pretty widely available. Easy swap-out ball and ramp kit, replaces OEM part. |

I just installed an XXL Clutchlite in my 2000 X1, last week. It definitly helped. I don't think it's the "40% less", as advertised, but it is definitly more linear and smoother. The effort was definitly reduced, just not 40%. |
