I was just wondering if anyone could help me with something. I commute with my S3T a lot and most of the time I get stuck in some type of traffic. Today was one of those bad days. By the time I got into work my hand and wrist was killing me. I have a friend that rides a Duc and he was surprised as to how "hard" the clutch pull is on the bike. Is anyone out there selling something that can give me significant improvement with this issue? I would like to be able to ride with out so much fatigue.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance for your posts.

Here ya go... bought one for my 96' S2T. Works great. Definately worth the investment.

easy,
I tried putting one of those on my '99 M2, when I updated the primary chain tensioner. It kept dragging along the bottom of the casing, I couldn't get it to fit. Any special trick you used to get it lined up???

It didn't look like there was much to it...maybe I'll give it another shot the next time I change the gear lube, before I send it back for another one.
Thanks....

I have one on my bike. I had no clearance problems when I originally put it on, but I noticed it rubing a bit when I changed to a chrome Primary Cover. I am going to run with it for awhile and keep my eye on it. If I have to I may file the inside of the case down a bit. I did however notice that I didn't get a sore wrist last year after instaling it, so id does work. You do have to be more exact as to how you adjust your clutch I feel.

i put one on a friend's m2. initially had interference until adjusting the clutch cable to move the added on piece further to the rear of the bike. no more problem and he's real happy.
good luck,
tim
