[quote][/quote]HI all, got a lock up clutch for the wifes kat (MRE) in an attempt to make the clutch as easy on her wrist as possible. shes recently had an op on it. I need advise on fitting it an setting it up. should i use stock springs? still need six?will it be lighter than normal?

Cheers all FBJ

easy on her wrist? how? surely at anything above tickover it will be heavier? cant you get a hydraulic conversion for it?

Lock-up clutch with standard springs is no heavier (or lighter tho' sadly) than standard, so probably won't help much mate.

Like johnr says a hydraulic conversion might be your way forward. Pop-up's, Bandit 12's, FZR 1000's to name a few, all use hydraulic, maybe it's adaptable? A mate made one for his GPz1170 so I know it can be done.

Cheers for heads up guys. My grumpy an duck n dive have both confirmed they only use 3 stock springs so will try that an see

but as the bike is going to be used on the road mainly, once its locked up isnt it going to be heavier to operate as youre going to have to overcome the lockup when you pull the lever?

I wi av to teach her to not use it on the way up time will tell john

John, try an easy clutch. These little devices are utterly brilliant & reduce the effort needed at the lever by a hell of a lot...I know cos with my much modified clutch hand it's the ONLY way I can operate some clutch's
