lengthening the clutch arm
gwcrim:
Heyall. Long time no see. We built a house this year so I've been kinda busy not riding.
I did manage a few outings on the KX. I'm tired of the clutch drag and the shaft on the actuator needs a new seal. Here's my questions:
1) What do you have to go through to change the seal?
2) What do you have to go through to lengthen the arm?
In case anyone wants to see the nuevo casa, there are pics in the Crim Estate folder here: http://photos.yahoo.com/gwcrim

Very nice casa de gwcrim. Once the post build wreckage is cleared out and the landscaping takes over that place is going to awesome. :worship:
I miss all the green stuff... :sad:

gwcrim,
Cool House! I just lengthened my arm (clutch) a month ago. Added 5mm, pretty simple. I used to think 10mm was the amount but others warned me it was too much (they were right - as usual). I used a piece cut out of a large 1/2" washer since it was the right thickness. I welded mine with a stick welder - did some thin test pieces first. Makes a noticable diff. You should be able to change the seal while the arm is out (it just rotates and pulls straight up). Cam.
gwcrim:
Thanks for the tip there, Cam. Not as bad a job as I thought. Add it to the winter 'to do' list.
I actually have grass growing all around the shack exept for the very front yard. I need some big time fill. ODOT has been gracious enough to leave me what they dig from the ditches. And that's been a big help. I sure hate the idea of paying for dirt.

I have this mods for easy clutch pull (like a kx125 cc). 8)
(I`m a lousy photografer,hehe) :oops:
No lengthening the clutch arm needed.
