jetset Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 I posted a topic in yamaha forum asking if anyone knew where I could get the extended arm type clutch lightener for my TY250 but no joy, thought I would try posting it in aircooled mono forum as it seems to get a wider audience. A couple of people suggested making one but I don't have access to metal working equipment. I am sure that someone somewhere must be still make these in a little workshop as so many bikes seem to have them (except mine!) I have just finished restoring my TY back to it's former glory which I posted in the Yamaha forum recently and am looking for the clutch lightener to further improve the riding experience, and my skills!! Any help / contacts would be greatfully received, a spare clutch lightener would be even better!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charliechitlins Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Take it to somebody who can weld, and add 3/4". Also, make your own cable out of thinner, more flexible wire, and you'll have a clutch that feels very close to hydraulic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rapid roy Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 I THINK SAMMY MILLER HAS A UNIT FOR OLDER BIKES IF MEMORY SERVES ME RIGHT ITS CABLE OPERATED Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetset Posted August 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 I have seen the Sammy Miller pulley type but it is bulky and various people have told me that they don't work very well, in their opinion. The search continues............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliechitlins Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 Don't be sad... It really is a snap to cut the thing in the middle and add 3/4". That way you won't be adding more parts (extender, nut, bolt) that could cause trouble. Simpler=better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetset Posted August 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 I have a mig welder and my trial biking friend is also a dab hand with metalwork so we will cut and carve to make my lightener as suggested, After spending the last few months restoring the bike I was looking for something I could just "bolt on" for a change but never mind, fabrication can be done!! I am happy, my bike is done and this week got a new rear tyre on so I have no more excuses when I fall off tommorow when we go riding!!! Thanks folks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brian r Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 Go to B&J Racing and buy a 3 position clutch lever. It's a bolt on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
