Guest robson Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 I found it a little bit hard to squeeze, power clutch lever would be nice I ride often offroad when I use clutch frequently and sometimes my left hand sores. Any way to easy this lever out? Link to post
Rocker66 34,614 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Borrow an old Ducati for a couple of weeks that will build your clutch hand up Link to post
Guest bonekicker Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Change your bike to a DCT version, otherwise not much can be done about it, keeping the cable well oiled doe's help a little, you can get adjustable levers, get the longer ones though and make sure adjustment is correct. You will get used to it and 3 Shredded Wheat may help as well !!! As R66 says try a older bike for a while and you will see how much easier it is. Link to post

bazza 3,629 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 My KTM has a clutch lever - there was a lot of bother about changing the slave unit as the push rod end had a design fault.Anyway its all history now - DCT has moved it all on! Why bother?-I can select manual if I really want to relive the past! Ex old fogie! Link to post

Any way to easy this lever out? Robert - you are welcome to my adjustable anodised black one - had to buy a pair and with having the dct the clutch lever is unused of course. Just send me a stamped addressed jiffy bag if you want it. Mike 1 Link to post
Guest Peterpoddy Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Stop using the clutch so much! Once you're up in second clutch less changes are faster and smoother. Motorbike 'boxes are designed to work without the clutch. That said, I reckon the NC has a very light clutch indeed. I only ever use two fingers..... Link to post

Mike5100 2,061 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 There's a warning on the Versys website from someone who is part of a school that uses several NCs. He says they have had several 750 clutches fail. No DCT problems and no failed clutches on their 700 machines Mike Link to post
