It makes city driving easier,

I installed this on a 2022 MT07. If you have the tools, installation is no problem.
There are three holes, but I used the middle one at first, but since I also drive an Off car, one or two fingers can be used for Clutch operation.
It's a habit, so it's a little bit of a drag because it hits your fingers and you can't pull it all the way to the end, so it feels like a little bit of a drag.
If you are the kind of person who operates Clutch with 4 sticks to pull it to the end, you can use it.
I don't think any hole is a problem. Even at the very front, it is lighter than NORMAL, so it works.
Also, it is better to use the included Ring because the Snap ring spreads when you take it off,
The guide nut should also be screw locked if possible to prevent loosening due to vibration,
If GuideNut is eliminated, Clutch will not be able to be cut.

OEMCrash Bar (Engine Guard) countermeasure

TENERE700 with Y's GearOEMCrash Bar (Engine Guard)
The three-hole Type of the regular product cannot be used due to interference, so we purchased a one-hole countermeasure MODEL.
The same etc. as the first hole position of the 3-hole Type (which is heavier) = only 18% reduction.

I kind of feel like I'm missing out a little bit." Installed with the thought
Well...

Oh, it's lighter!

Even though it is 18% less, it is not to be underestimated. It is definitely lighter!
This would considerably reduce fatigue from traffic jams, etc.

The work is very easy, but when removing the Bolt that holds the Cable guide to the Crankcase,
I was a little impatient with the slightly unpleasant turnaround.
Since the counterpart is a Crank Case Cover, the Bolt of Cable guide and Resin Guard are used when assembling the case.
Tighten it several times evenly etc.

The direction of the BrassPipe on the Cable guide made by Camel should be adjusted before mounting on the car body.
(No tools can be inserted after installation)

Insert the shaft into the bracket at the end of the cable and fasten it with a split pin, but since it is narrow, it is easier to prepare a βpin in advance.

I gave it 4 stars because the feel is not 3-hole Type and it is unclear if it is in its element.
The quality is fine, the texture is fine, the Cable guide has Brass brazing marks and not split Pin, β Pin is included in the package.
I gave it 4 stars because I wanted it (though I would venture to say that this is a minor detail).

In general, it can be very Recommendation! View detail

Lever is now lighter.

It felt light enough even at the front of the first hand.
You can use ZETA's Leverage and the feeling of semi-clarity without too much discrepancy with NORMAL.
Although not shown in the images and installation video, a replacement return spring is included.
I would like to use it in other positions in the future. View detail

It can be installed on MT-07 without any modification, and it is lighter.

[How is it used?
When I started to feel that the NORMAL clutch was a bit heavy, I saw on social media that it could be installed on the MT-07.

Was the one you received as per Image?
Beautiful finish for the price.

Was the installation difficult?
The manual is not included.
There was an installation video available from Manufacturer. I watched it and installed it without any problems.

How was your experience with it?
First, I installed it closest to the shaft, and it is clearly lighter.

[Included Parts:were they on?
The product is as shown in the picture:LeverBody, Spring, Snap ring, Cable guide, Bracket & Shaft for Clutch Cable mounting, Split Pin.

[Was there anything that disappointed you?
Not disappointing, but I used KITACOBeta pin because Split Pin is not reusable.

General
On social media, there seems to be a trend of using the same parts from the R25, which costs less than 2,000 yen, but strictly speaking, it needs to be modified.
I also purchased KTC's Snap ring pliers for this installation and was impressed with how easily they came off when I pinched the ring. I would recommend these as well.

It's expensive, but it seems to be worth it. View detail
