i enjoy the current clutch pressure. also more fun when you hear and see the jap buddies bitch as they pull the lever in on the buell.
i just thought that maybe it would be a better option. but i will stick the the crg's and cable.

It's just a bit odd ball in feel with the reduced throw, and not spectacular looking. Just one more thing to leak.
After trying the hydraulic, I'd go a mechanical first if I wanted a softer clutch. |
can you have both??? |
You can but it is not recommended. Both reduce clutch throw so nothing for nothing. I know some one who has done it, they say it just works.
If you have a wrist injury or you use a high performance clutch spring it could be good.
The clutch on the post '06 Buells is pretty light, but if the clutch is softer you break fewer cables, so I tried the hydraulic because my last three bikes have had hydraulic clutches and I figured the hydraulics are less likely to strand you than a cable.
After the weekend I'm going to start looking for a hydraulic belt.

Two Pete's, two belts one ride.
Coming back from the BRCA AGM. Stopped at Yarra Junction. Talked about riding with broken cables, how Hippie Pete broke a belt while his clutch was playing up and took a few minutes to pin the lack of drive down to the belt. We took off again, except I didn't. I rang RACV (Total Cover & Extra cover is good for any bike you are riding), the others came back. I pss'd then off no use waiting while the tow was coming. 5 minutes later get a call. Hippie says "can I come too"
We had a belt raising party last night. Wouldn't read about it - 'cept you just did.

On ya! I can't see what all the fuss is about ... there is nothing wrong with the Bolts standard clutch as far as I am concerned and if I can do 1000s of kms in 2 weeks with no complaints (eh AJ????????) then I am sure any bloke should have no issues .
