[QUOTE="Chief, post: 399733, member: 24546"] Mechanic, I wanted to just use my index and middle finger, but had a very hard time and could not adjust the clutch properly. One day I fell down on my left side and broke the lever about 1/2 length. I took it home, filed the raw edge, and moved it towards the center of the bars about another 1/2 inch. For me, the shorter lever was the perfect solution. Now I can only reach it with 2 fingers and it never hits the other 2. I am basically forced to ride this way all the time and I prefer it. Riding this way has quickly become natural. Experienced mechanics will tell you that downshifting w/out the clutch is ok, but upshifting w/out it puts more wear on the drive train. I always use the clutch to upshift, although on my 6 speed 125, I almost never did. It was just too fast and tempting not to. On my 250 I have been trying to make myself downshift without the clutch more, but old habits die hard. I consider myself a casual rider, so speed is not of the utmost importance to me, although feathering the clutch is often a must in some of the tightwoods sections I ride. Chief [/QUOTE]
