Man, I love your honesty and real world take on things. That's difficult to find these days.
Definitely buying one when im finished with my kx project. Thank you for the review man, it helps a lot to have an honest reviewer who goes in depth on everything. 👌
Thanks for the kinds words
@@vegasromaniac what brand you recommend ? I got a Sportster Iron.
instablaster.
You should love it I got the full throw of the entire clutch
You are right about having to hand fit the cable end to fit the original lever cable adjuster. I just took the metal end off, and slid the cable housing in the adjuster. I ride a 1971 Bultaco Pursang 350 with AMAL levers and the thread pitch was different on my set up so I couldn't swap them like you suggested. I found that this thing dropped the pull weight by about 20 percent. A help but not quite one finger for me anyway. It did take quite a bit of fiddling with the cable adjustments to get it to fully release but not slip either. Clutch lever movement increased for the amount of movement at the actuator lever on the engine. My bike already had the actuator lever extended 1/2". These bikes have a tough clutch, as you aren't going to be using it as much on an MX track, but I am trail riding this vintage bike. 58 and a replacement hip on a MX track would be an unnecessary risk. I was thinking about trying one of the cheap hydraulic setups you see on ebay and amazon. Have you tried one of those? Great video as usual Vegas! Thanks for posting it.
I was watching your 10 mods for your 250fx and you pointed out the risk of the long exhaust bracket bolts crashing into the engine case and damaging it. So I shortened the bolts on my 250fx to eliminate that risk. Thanks for the tip!!
Yeah that's a great mod man , I'm glad I found out about it before shit hit the fan.. One of my buddy's has a big gash in there
thank you for this. I am slowly bringing back my drz400 to life and like you said, I like to fiddle with the clutch a lot and this might help
Awesome
Now That is an Accessory worth buying. Very cool. Thanks for the info, bro.
Yep, if you got a cable will make it better
I didn't know these existed. Thank you for the video and thanks for leaving in the troubles you had with installation.
I will consider one for my XT550.
Thanks for watching man, and yeah I ordered one for the yz also, see if we can make it better
Great vid, thanks Vegas!
Thanks for watching
Good info 👍
Good honest video!
Glad you liked it
Looks like a great idea!
It sure made the clutch feel a lot better
So ive ordered one, probably not going to use it after seeing the hassle trying to reroute the extra 6" or so, but this is honestly an amazing video with its honesty and accuracy of the install! love it bud, Keep it up
It's totally worth the effort.. Or you can get a lever with a shorter pull,
Good video job! I totally agree that having an easy to operate clutch lever is important. Nice to have you teach me about a product I didn't know existed. Fortunately my KTM has a hydraulic clutch, but my WR250R has a cable-actuated clutch. I could never go back to cable after the KTM.
I had a Ktm, the yz pull its as easy, but I'm gonna try one of these, see if I can make it one finger
Yes, I know quite well you had the KTM; I've embraced your channel for a long time now... I knew you must have missed the Hydraulic clutch. I've watched you grow from an excited, troubled young moto maniac to a much wiser, mature moto man ;-) Maybe some day you should re-name your channel to VegasMatureMotoManiac?
Hi nice video, do i have to shorten the original clutch cable in order for it to work? Or can it stay as it is?
Great video thank u
Thanks for watching
Cool those have been around for years may install on on my street legal XR400
For sure great to have
Amazing bit of kit, clutch on my Xt 600 Tenere is brutal, even with a new cable, i installed one of these kits £8 from ali baba from China, yeah i know! but its been on for a year and its got the tension on a Dt125 sooooooooo good.
Works great
I had a 370 Rotax with a ball and ramp clutch actuation in the 80's. I considered installing one of these. Later models reduced friction by adding more ball bearings and modifying the ramp. The lever should pull easier the further from the bar.
It works great on the drz, I already ordered another one for the yz, see what's up
lol I just bought one off amazon! Hopefully it helps!
Man it works great, I love it on the YZ, needs a bit of adjusting, you gonna live it after
I wonder if this will work on my 2001 Suzuki SV650S?
What type of levers did you fet?
Ebay cnc for the win
Pretty cool actually!
Yep.. I just bought another one for the yz
@@vegasromaniac oddly enough, the Honda clutch pull is easier then the ktm hydro clutch. Dont know how that's possible.
@@GladiusJon yeah my yamaha it's easyer than the Ktm I had but what if I can make it feather light
Ive been meaning to get one of these for a while now. It will be part of my clutch upgrade.
Ebay has them for 10 bucks but only green.. Color
@@vegasromaniac Is the case plastic or aluminum?
@@dr.hugog.hackenbush9443 aluminium, it's nice, I'm sure it can be waterproof also with some silicone..
@@vegasromaniac This will also alleviate some arm pump from using the clutch a lot- means I can go faster for longer. 😃👍
@@dr.hugog.hackenbush9443 yep.. I use to fingers on the yz I wonder if this Will make it 1 finger
Put one with a new cable on my xt350, found it to be a 20% lighter clutch at best. Tried all pin positions, same... Looks like a longer lever on the clutch arm will be a future experiment..
I'd like to see a cam style, kinda like a compound bow. Million dollar idea. I call dibs on that idea....
Btw, $12 eBay knockoffs are actually just as good as the name brand.
That's smart as shit bro they still haven't done it yet tho
@@jeffgood6441 don't you be doin it unless we go in as partners!😂
It looks like a good mod. I have a 2005 Z1000 and I'm now in my 70's so my clutch pull is hurting my hand. I think this could be the answer.
I had one on my KDX200 back in mid 90’s. I wonder how many people will think these are new. I never liked the way it fits but it did lighten the pull.
I thought it was new. Haha
Vegas RoManiac yeah that is funny. I was the exact same thing. From memory nothing looks changed.
Hey, next time you make it to Moab you need to come a little further east to the Western Slope. I’ll show you around. I know you’ve ridden Sargents (maybe other areas near there too) but there’s more to see
@@brianh8484 sounds great, I am planning a Colorado trip, maybe we can make it work, I'll anoouce it on my channel
Vegas RoManiac right on. I’ll keep an eye out. If you get a minute check this trail. Got all kinds here. I’m in front.

@@vegasromaniac This easy pull device is an old thing, indeed, I had one with my KX 250 1986. Still have the device in a box. The bike is long gone... The downside is that it change the leverage ratio of the lever and the engagement point is lengthened. I tried it on my CRF 450 last year and removed it after a few rides... I don't like the weird effect on the engagement point of the clutch. And by thew way... our argument about the 250 vs 450 is over. I bought a sxf 350, hahahaha. :) I hope to ride it for the first time this weekenf, if the temp is good enough.
I put one of those on my bike dr650 and adjusted every which way you can and the clutch slips like crazy and they know what's wrong with it
You can put washers on top of cluch springs also to lighten it, if 8 springs on plate easier to pull than 6 or 4 also, may need to go thinner washers incase cluch slips or only fit to 2 springs bolts
Your wrong it's washers on the bolts not on the springs that will make more bite
Good Video, by what % would you say, that it has now lightened the leaver action?
30 percent
What’s the clutch lever? I’m after one for my DRZ400. Have you broken a cable yet? I’ve read that some guys have snapped 4 cables in a year, but they may have not installed it right.
I bought a CNC copy off eBay and it’s very well made. It’s been working well.
Nope, the system works great both on my drz and my yz so far, many many miles on it
The Easy clutch puller is cheap and actually works. At least on my CRF 450X and Rm250.
Yeah took me a while to discover it.. Great find so far
Hello I hope you see my comment. Would you recommend it for city traffic? I have a BMW f 650 GS the clutch is not hard to pull but after many traffic 🚦 lights and stops due to road traffic it makes me wish I had an even lighter clutch. Thank you.
Yes I think if you have a cable you will love it
Are you getting enough throw in the clutch for proper clutch engagement and disengagement?
Yes, tested
Going to add one on the DRZ, just wanted to know if you still recommend it today after the rental test ride?
Yes yes yes, I just bough another one for the yz... Haven't installed it yet..
Ok sounds good, thanks
You can get custom cables
How’s the clutch pull on the 250fx? I find my WR to be hard.. or maybe I just need to suck it up ;-)
The yz it's as light as a Ktm hidraulic, but I'm gonna add one of these see what happens
when will you be doing you're update? I just bought 2 of the same pairs.
Oh they works great, I even forgot I have them, except when I pull the clutch in and it's butter smooth. I havent been on the bike for 1 year now dues to an injury
@@vegasromaniac we wish you a good recovery.
Nice review.
Be safe.
My 01 YZ250 has a pretty smooth clutch but I do find myself having to use three fingers and i get arm pump real quick do the clutch basket Springs stiffen up over time or do they get looser I'm debating changing them out
Usually the springs never stuf up but loosen, the only other thing it's the market might get worn out, in any case this is the cheaper easyes solution I found so far
I meant to say yz250f if it wasn't for my bike I probably would have never found your Channel sure glad I did you've been a lot of help much appreciated
@@bricehale6593 my buddy just replaced the clutch basket on his yz recently had grooves in it, felts like shit , 150 bucks later feels better but still an 03 bike and you can tell
@@vegasromaniac right 01 and O3 are definitely some old bikes but I love it I had my buddy following me in his truck couple days ago I told him to pull up beside me when I'm standing a wheelie I want to know how fast I'm going he said I went over 70 on the back wheel that's just crazy I mean I kind of figured it was up there the speed limit on my road is 55 and I pass people all the time doing a wheelie no problem but slow wheelies are a problem because my clutch is kind of stiff and throttle response is lagging a little bit
Sweeet!
Works great
Could this work for an xr100r?
If it has a cable sure
I know it's pretty expensive but you can also get a Magura hydraulic system
What mirrors do you have ?
Forgo let about thosez they were horrible....
Did you do a follow-up video?
Didn't have to, still works great today
Someone may have put aftermarket heavy springs in that clutch because those where not known for being stiff stock.
They might have, I haven't open the clutch out yet
1. Thank you Thumbs Up
2. Consider adding external mic to your helmet because we can barely hear you during the ride.
3. Is the DZR400 street legal? If not, consider going through the process of plating it in Nevada. I’m really interested because I’m in Sacramento, CA and my sister in law is in Reno. Wink wink.
4. I think that clutch thing is shit. I got so pissed off after an hour trying to get it to work, I threw it away. I hope it works out for you. Is the clutch pull really lighter? Be honest. :)
Yes the clutch pull is really ligterx it survived one ride so far so I ordered one for the yz. The drz it's already street legal so all I have to do is transfer the title
As far as the microphone, I've tried several, the bike it's so loud this is the best microphone setup while riding little wind noise and most of the devices I listen to voice it's crystal clear as far as I can tell, considering that I'm trying to talk over a 4 stroke with fmf pipe
@@vegasromaniac Shit. I need to find that thing. It's around my garage somewhere. LOL
I was just searching on amazon for one of those. I've abandoned the idea of the cheap hydraulic clutch, i settled on one of these and a chinese "stunt lever", short but with a bearing on the pivot. I'm still a bit unsure however because i think i might regret buying a lever that short for a dirt bike
Once you get it let us know how it works
@@vegasromaniac i'm a bit late, but yes, that combo really works quite well. The clutch travel becomes really long, but you can definetly pull the lever with 1 finger all day long.
Righteous stunt clutch is the best
Yeah but you won't get that for 10 bucks
I paid $120
@@citoskillz what brand?
@@vegasromaniac rsc righteous stunt clutch is the brand
I have always wanted to if these work.
I like it, I just ordered one for the yz, see if I can make it even better
@@vegasromaniac awesome, keep us updated!
Is it possible to hide this thing moving it so the bike have clean looks?
If you worry about how your bike looks, you don't ride hard enough
I had the same problem that device reduced the amount of pull resulting in not being able to completely disengage the clutch. It is sitting in a drawer in my shop. It was a waste of time and money,
Mine works great even today, I love it...
Yeah but the cable movement/clutch actuation will be less
The clutch on my DRZ400 is super light (one finger job) maybe you should look into it more than some silly gimmick.
You are an insane expert. Haha
@@vegasromaniac . ?????
How is this after 2 years?
No problem. Works great.. No cable issues either..
Thanks for the tutorial sir. One question come sto mind: what happen with extra six inches of cable? Dont need to cut it? Or do you just "build tension" by rerouting exactly six inches?
Do not cut it . Specially when you have raised bars the extra length just hides in there
i believe the easy pull adapter goes down on the motor not on the bars
I'll look to see if there is room for it, good idea
Wrong. Goes exactly where he put it
Brother you totally lost me when you said I should have used the opposite side of the cable that would have fit inside the handle, Im trying to install one now and I just do get what you did, Would you please explain the right way to do it without grinding off the end caps, thanks.
I switched the powotion of the the spacer that comes on the uIt with the spacer that goes on the brake lever..
Ur darn gadget.... making me want to spend more money... and saving monies in other places. Thx for the advice.
Haha
$12 all day long on eBay.
Still using the same one over the last 3 years??
Yes .. lasted forever
Does this work for a rmz250, does it work for moto
yes any cable clutch
Is that manufactured in china?
Yep like everything else in this world
Easy fix! BUY A KTM LOLLLL. Good video
Damn you beat me to it.. hahahaha
Actually that's the hard expensive fix..
Vegas RoManiac it’s not hard? Walk into a dealer, write an $11,000 check, walk out with new ktm.. haha.
Getting that 11k in your bank account is the hard part.
@@SkinnySkinch haha, yeah, never.. Never never never
@@vegasromaniac 🤣 understandable. it's too much money honestly. but people are buying them like hot cakes so....
I tried installing one of those, ended up tossing it in the scap bin.
That sound like an installation problem, mine worked fine on 2 difrent bikes, and I love it so far
Same problem you ran into in your video, customer just didn't want to deal with it.
Me too.Fitted one to my 2019 Tiger.Although the effort was less,so was the travel length at the clutch proper.This gave so little travel that the clutch plates were not separating properly and I had clutch drag.
Does it work on a hydraulic clutch?
Lol
Haha nope you gonna have to spend a lot more money to make a hidraulic soft..
Ive used both this device as well as the magura hydraulic system and i can honestly say the magura is a waste of money. This $12 device gives the exact same effect.
I think you assemble that wrong... Lever side I think that is in the bottom of the piece
Nope that would make it longer harder pull
Lol nOh. I think you need to go back to elementary geometry.
easy fix, lengthen the actuator arm down on the case. this thing is junk.
Good idea but impossible to do there is not longer arm for the actuator also if the travel it's to long at the bottom, you will scrape the cable on the mounting pojt and breaknit there, this is a easy fix and so far it works great..
I put one of these on my xt350 and I gained maybe, at best, 20% easier. And that is with a brand new clutch cable..
I think I will be making an extension for my clutch lever arm as well. Since I have a lot of travel in my clutch.
Mine broke first pull. Cable end came right off. I'll pass.
Mine running strong 6 months later also you got 2 cables in the kit, just use the backup
Robert Pabst ..you’ve just got to solder the barrel on better. It’s not difficult. Resin free 50/50 solder and flux.
These companies are purposely putting the same terrible features every year 🤦 shitty levers(sometimes front brake is good af actually hahaha) lot of times suspension is fuckin off off, tiniest exhaust upgrade would +3-7hp a bike out the gate but they NEVER thro a yoshi full system or a Suzuki Hinson clutch which would def help Suzuki rise in the rankings
👍🏻
I’m in SinCity. Hit me w/ some tips ( hit my IG). Thank u!
I wonder how many ppl have bought a KTM simply bc it has a hydrolic clutch......!!! HAHA
Many many many
My hydrolic clutch isn't light! Ktm 2003 625!
@@neilizer big motor big springs in the basket for that torque
@@vegasromaniac still sucks lol
@@neilizer because it's hydraulic you can't do much but change the lever to a half pull lever, might set you back 150 bucks
