Best Clutch Lever

(1/5) > >>

Big Yac:
I know this has probably been discussed but what does everyone think is the best clutch lever for the KX 500 which will give me a nice smooth and easy pull?  I have heard bad things about the Moose EZ Pull.  I actually now have an MSR Raptor on it but I don't think my clutch is disengaging fully.  Would something with a bearing in it give less pull than stock while still allowing the clutch to disengage all the way?  I don't want to spend too much but I can do up to about $100.00.  Thanks.

ALSO  Check basket...

This is what your basket should not look like..   :x

Definitely check your clutch basket to see if it is "groovy baby". 

Also a good idea to check your cable, sometimes they are routed wrong and get heated up by the pipe.  A new cable makes a huge difference. 

I use a MSR clutch perch that has a CR lever ratio and a needle bearing at the pivot point.  It still has a a noticeable pull, but you are on a manly machine - expect it.

Grease your barrel fittings at the ends of the cable so that they rotate in the lever and the actuator.  If you start messing with leverage ratios in a big way (via raptor or EZ-clutch), you can burn up a clutch pretty easy if/when it goes out of adjustment.
