July 31, 200422 yr Just got back from a window shopping trip at my local bike shop. They had an EZ Pull clutch accessory marketed by Moose. I didn't see any instructions on the packaging (or in the package for that matter). My TY175 could use all the help in the clutch dept. and I was wondering if anybody out there has seen such a device installed or heard anything about them.

August 1, 200422 yr Author Yes. It's designed for cable actuated clutches. I'd consider a Magura hydraulic system, but I'm probably going to buy a modern bike before too long.
August 1, 200422 yr EZ clutch is a leverage amplifier. It works on most bikes. Tried on an '81 Maico 490 once and it dragged badly. Only time they don't work is when disengagement is a problem. Most Japanese bikes dont really have this problem. On Yamahas a lever extension is just as good. They might still be available from Yamaha accessory dept.
August 3, 200422 yr The MSR Raptor is one type. Chaparral has them. Bob Ginder of B&J Racing has a different type also. http://www.bjracing.com/yamaha.htm
August 6, 200422 yr The Yam clutch is normally v.light, I suggest a venhill featherlight clutch cable would be a better move.
August 6, 200422 yr Author The Yam clutch is normally v.light, I suggest a venhill featherlight clutch cable would be a better move. Very good point. A new cable and upgraded perch/lever assembly would be a very good investment.
August 6, 200422 yr A 3/4" extension on the clutch arm and make your own cable using thinner, more flexible cable will give you a 1-finger clutch. Get the cable at most hardware stores and the ends from the "HELP" section at the auto parts store. Those little brass ferrules with a set screw. Tighten the set screw, cut off the head and load it up with solder.
