Repair Lever [for Wire Clutch Holder]

Fits: その他

4/5

Finger Quantity:Recommended for those who pull Clutch with 2pc … but

So far the Clutch operation has been performed with the finger Quantity:I was pulling with 2pc, so when I replaced it with Gail's Wire Clutch Holder, I converted it to Short lever.

Basically, there is no dissatisfaction with the Clutch operation and the finger Quantity:For those who have been pulling in 2pc, this is the best choice with no problems.

However, this time we changed the clutch holder to a variable ratio clutch holder to solve the weight of the clutch by installing an external slipper clutch, and changed the ratio from OEM 34mm to 32mm. The result was that the weight of the clutch was reduced to the original weight.
It is obvious if you think about it calmly, but I wonder if short lever will not break lever even if it falls down... or basic finger Quantity:I thought it would not be a problem since it is a 2pc, but when I ride long distances, such as touring, I feel fatigue accumulating and at the end I was pulling the short lever with three fingers;

Of course, it is ridden on a daily basis and finger Quantity:I have no problem with 2pc people, but I have not been touring for a long time and it was hard for me due to lack of muscle strength from not being able to ride normally, so I have returned to standard lever for now.
I think I will keep it as a Stock until the Standard lever breaks off if it falls over or something. View detail

Wire Clutch Holder Kit

5/5

I just wanted to lighten the Clutch up a bit.

I wanted to lighten the Clutch on my 2021 MT-09SP, so I installed a Wire Clutch Holder from Gale that can change the Ratio.
According to the information on the Net, OEMSwitch could be used, but when we tried to match the switch box with the OEMSwitch, we found that the position of the screw stop was completely opposite to that of the OEMSwitch, and the switch box had to be modified.

I measured the OEMSwitch with Caliper to make an amateur drawing for machining, procured the bracket and other necessary parts for installation at Home center, decided on the machining area required, and was about to cut it with Belt Thunder at once when my wife called me because it was her day off. Shut up." The result was far from the drawing, but we managed to fill it with Bus Coke to make it waterproof for the time being.

The New Model MT-09SP has OEMSlippers & AssistClutch, so the clutch is light, but our vehicle has an external Slipper clutch, so the Assist function is gone, and the clutch is very heavy. The clutch is light because it has an OEMSlippers&AssistClutch.

The above may not be a very helpful imprint, but the process is to shave 2mm off the back of the OEMSwitch box so that the Switch can be pressed with Gail's Lever.
When scraped, the bottom will have a hole in it, so fill it with Bus Coke or similar to make it waterproof.
*Be careful not to overfill so that the switch inside can be movable.
For installation on the body, special screws such as low-head screws and small-headed screws are required to avoid machining work as much as possible, but their availability is not so good.
And here's the most important part:when you disassemble the OEMSwitch box and put it back together again, be sure to close the lid while pushing the Switch in or the high-end Switch will be guillotined and broken. (Proven …)

Since installation, I have gone on a touring trip of about 400 km, including highways, and the Cruise Control is working fine and I have not experienced any problems so far.
The weight of the Clutch is a little lighter since the Ratio was changed from OEM 34mm to 32mm, but on the other hand, the Clutch is a little less sharp.
Also, Wire tension adjustment is much easier than OEM, so I was glad to make the change for this reason alone. View detail
