My CT1 clutch pull is fairly stiff compared to most other bikes that I've compared it to, though it's not a problem to ride. I have a new cable on it, greased the pivot, the worm drive mechanism is greased and working well, and I don't have grooves in the clutch basket. It also has standard clutch springs. I think it's basically working how it should, but I wondered if anyone has used any of those easy pull gadgets that you can add on, or put on a new "easy pull" perch with different leverage.

The only reason I ask is I've been practicing more feathering the clutch, for riding maneuvers at slow speeds, and a lighter and smoother pull would be nice. From some reviews I've read of those add-on gadgets that add leverage, I have a feeling they may not hold up very long, and I'm afraid I might just be adding a fail point. But in any case, just curious if anyone here is tried any of them, or maybe I should just forget it. 

 

This is my opinion & others are welcome to disagree!!.
I had an easy pull that came on my yz490k "83 i bought from California--to NZ years ago.
I turfed it straight away & put a nice lubed new cable on & there was nothing wrong with it.
Easy pull style things get their leverage by halving the lift so twice the lever movement needed at the handlebars to get the standard amount of lift.
Ok maybe not halving the lift but!!.
I've seen lever blades with differences in lift so could try one with the nipple hole close to the pivot but its still reducing lift. I've forgotten what bike you have without going back & loosing where i am. But whatever bike, the actuator parts need well lubing if its an early model worm type.

Appreciate the reply! Yeah that's another issue, you're reducing the amount of lift if you get the little leverage device. It's the original worm on a '71 CT1 and I tried to stuff in white lithium from both sides of it, and it seems a bit smoother. It had some real thin black graphite grease inside it. I don't know if that was the from the factory, but I've never put that in it. In any case, it works well enough, so I'll just leave it alone.

This is the kind of device I was talking about, and there's others that are much cheaper.
