- From www.clake.com.au How to install the Clake 2 or Pro Lever on your motoribike. This installation vid has step by step instructions so you can fit your Clake 2 with ease.
The Clake 2 is an easy clutch with reduced pull combined with a hand-operated rear brake. The inside lever operates the clutch only, and uses our special mechanism to have a reduced pull but with no extra lever travel needed. The outer lever first disengages the clutch, then progressively applies the rear brake.
One of the key advantages of this is its anti-stall nature - every time you apply the rear brake you can’t stall the engine. It is why the Clake 2 has become a very popular alternative to traditional auto-clutches and their drawbacks.
The amount of overlap between the clutch and rear brake is adjustable between acting as a slipper clutch or as an anti-stall feature. The Clake 2 can improve your riding in a similar way to the Clake SLR but has many further advantages too.
ADVANTAGES OF RIDING WITH THE CLAKE 2
- The ability to independently operate either the clutch or rear brake
- Easy clutch for less arm pump, single finger use and better grip on the bars
- On-the-fly adjuster for clutch disengagement from rear brake use (anti-stall)
- Right leg off the peg for stability when braking into right hand corners
- Your right foot maintains optimum footpeg position regardless of braking
- Leaning the bike over in tight turns over does not affect rear brake access
- Effortless transition from rear brake slide to a power slide exit from corners
- Much easier to cover the rear brake during wheelies and prevent flipping
- Easier rear brake access on steep downhills
- More control for advanced techniques such pivot turns
- Starts on steep uphills are easier with both feet on the ground
- Rear brake access when in deep ruts and tight spaces
- Ability to apply rear brake when off the bike e.g. bull dogging downhill
- Brake control kept even if the foot is knocked off the peg e.g. a tank slapper
- No stalling if rear brake applied during a jump to bring the front end down
- No stalling or weighting the right peg by jabbing the pedal in panic stops
- Suitable for beginners starting and stoppin with both feet on the ground
- Ideal for riders with a disability or injury affecting their right leg.
TECHNICAL SIDE OF THE CLAKE 2
The Clake 2 uses similar technology to the Clake SLR to achieve far greater performance than other left hand rear brake (LHRB) systems. It also uses the same force balancing system from the Clake One Light clutch to significantly reduce the clutch pull needed.
You can adjust the degree of clutch and brake overlap without taking your gloves off, there is also a wide range of cams available that can be used to fine tune exactly how the clutch and rear brake are applied. All the major components are CNC-machined inhouse from 6061 aircraft grade alloy to maintain the highest quality control standards.
THE DUAL CONTROL SYSTEM (RETAINING THE REAR BRAKE PEDAL)
There is the option of replacing the rear brake pedal completely, or you can choose the Dual Control system which retains the rear brake pedal so you change between hand and foot operation of the rear brake seamlessly. Click here to read more about the Dual Control system and see the pricing below.

CLAKE 2 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Does it take long to adapt to the Clake 2?
Riders who have ridden a bicycle before usually adapt immediately to the Clake 2 as they are used to operating a rear brake with their left hand. Others say they needed several hours to adapt.
Do I have to use a single finger on the levers?
The Clake 2 is designed for single finger use - this is the ideal way to ride as it allows maximum grip of the bars. Those who already use one finger on the clutch adapt quickly, many riders want to ride this way but their stock clutch is too heavy. The lighter action of the Clake 2 clutch allows easy single finger use. Riders who would prefer to use more than one finger should look at the Clake Pro Lever instead.
Is the Clake 2 easily damaged?
No but a good pair of bark busters is recommended - a spacer may be required to allow extra room for the Clake 2. The levers are designed to fold out to minimize the chance of breaking and teflon wiper shields protect the internals.
Is it hard to pull the lever in to operate both the clutch and rear brake?
No, the Clake 2 uses a force balancing system to reduce clutch pull, and the rear brake uses the same ergonomics and features of our SLR to achieve excellent braking performance.
I've have one for 3 months. I love it. I will have one on every bike I ever own. Beautiful engineering.
I have to say this is the most amazing addition to the motorcycle. You guys better start buying CNC machining centers to keep up with the demand once every manufacturer decides the foot brake is as obsolete as an appendix. Great job guys! It puts a smile on my face every time I pull that brake. If you ever need someone in S.F. California to show and tell your Clake to a curious customer I'd gladly show them my bike.
Thanks Yuri, demand is picking up quickly and we are installing a second CNC machine to reduce delays!
sure does make sense how much does it cost US?

Thanks for the video. After 3years working flawlessly i had to bleed the rear brake slave cylinder and was lost until i watched this quick refresher.
Just purchased a Clake Two and was wondering if i can reverse bleed the clutch? I installed a magura on my bike first and it didn't want to gravity bleed, so i did a reverse bleed from the slave cylinder and it worked well and fast. Is gravity bleed preferred, or does reverse bleeding not work or damage anything? Im mechanical and will do it however instructed.
Much appreciated brother!!
Thanks for making such a good installation video. Made for a nice installation.
However I have to admit I did not keep the floor of my garage as clean as you did... blush.....
What do you so with the old clutch electrical switch?
Hi Guys, I'm hunting for your review of the Clake Pro. In the Clake 2 vid, you mentioned there'd be one. I'm just wondering if it was ever made? Thanks!
Can you make a 2 finger clutch lever instead of just a single finger? Why does the brake line need to go from the rear MC up to the Clake and then back to the caliper, if retaining the rear brake foot pedal. Seems like one line from the Clake brake MC to the rear MC and stack the banjo fittings would get the same result? Maybe?
The hand leaver needs to be independently operated from the foot lever.... the master cyclenders act as valves, if you link the hand leaver directly to foot leaver, you could not actuate the hand leaver with out working the foot leaver at the same time.....
@5:09 i can't seem to get to this step. I press the hole and slowly pull out, wait 30 seconds or so, if i pull in again fluid starts coming out. So i repeat, and then pull all the way out, but no fluid comes out. Any suggestions?
I have tried your technique here 12 times. Including repriming the slave cylinder with the oem clutch master cylinder several times to eliminate air in the line and slave cylinder. It will not build any pressure. It also will not allow fluid to rise to the top of the bleed port under gravity like you show. I am getting very aggravated with it. Can you give me any ideas why it will not bleed properly? I find this system to be the hardest to set up and bleed of any system I have ever dealt with. Certainly I am missing something here or something is broken.
Is there a system for a harley, i got a 2008 crossbones,with a frankenstien trike rear.
I even like the music
MAKE ONE FOR CABLE CLUTCHES!!!!
you can get hydraulic cable puller that mounts like a cable clutch
If you understand the difference between cable and hydraulic you'd know why that won't work.
