Many KX500 riders do not like their clutch pull.
I never gave it much thought until I heard so many complain about it... but whatever :-D
Anyway, we have made the extended clutch arms...

Mohave has the biggest I have ever seen :-o

Others have gone to the Magura hydraulic clutch setup..

Some have gone to some crazy lengths to get other hydraulic setups, machining and retrofitting.
But, has anyone tried the extended clutch arm with the Magura?

I can honestly say, that my stock clutch arm/setup works just fine, one finger...providing I keep the cable lubed.
I also choose gears, where my clutch use/demand remains minimal.
But that 1st one you have shown, is cool lookin!

Motorrad made me do it...

I thought it looked familiar.

I extended my arm. I also have a Chinese ebay hydraulic clutch to put on some day.
There's a thread on thumpertalk where a guy put on of the Chinese hydraulic clutch set ups on his Kx250.
I'll post on my build when I get it installed.
Way too busy with work to play with dirtbikes for a while.

I have a magura on mine and it's so effortless I don't see why you would out an extended arm on. But if you did I would be worried it wouldn't have enough "throw".

And that is the reason for the post :-)

I used to squeeze tennis balls back in the 80's & 90's til my wrists felt like they were gonna explode. I used to be able to collapse them completely when I was in my early/mid 20's...I don't know if I'd be able to these days. :|

Have a Magura and love it.
befor i had the h#*×a lever setup, felt better then stock.
With the magura, the pull is a bit longer. So no need to make arm longer.
Else you wouldn't be able to pul your lever with one finger. Because the rest will be in its way.
Now i only have some miner armpump in my right hand from braking.
Instead of mostly left.
