Interesting, now I need to get a fish scale!I bet my 73' Laverda is the heaviest clutch I have ever come across.
An alternative is the pulley device I saw on a Beamer recently, will take a picture next time.It has a chain fixed to the chassis wrapped around a pulley on the clutch arm. The other end of cable is attached to the cable giving a 2:1 advantage.
If you could fix the problem for ~$150, would you?
I you're asking me? Yes, I think so.Do you have a suggestion?
http://www.benchmarkworks.com/articles/howto/clutch.htmlI'm thinking about putting one of these on my R75/5. If I get one, I'll try it on the Eldorado first, and get a second one for the BMW if it fits the Eldo.
I just did a quick measurement of our three small yamaha 150cc bikes here in bali. My own bike, the oldest of the three which has covered a mere 115000km has a clutch pull of 30 lbs which drops to around 22lbs when the clutch is fully pulled in. I guess a good lubrication of lever and cable is in order.
I put one of those on my buddy Leo's R75/6. He liked the reduced effort, but not the abrupt engagement.
I would think that the friction zone should require double the lever movement, making it less abrupt.
All I know is the result: before: very progressive engagement, after: nearly on/off.
