Message: [QUOTE="Tiddlerracer, post: 1218100, member: 35807"] How's that for a convoluted title? Sheesh! Anywho, a LONG time ago (I'm guessing 2000-ish) I was able to locate a product through a member on this website that was a throttle cable with a little box in the middle of it. Inside the box was a pulley system (I think...it was sealed) that produced a one to two effect - pulling the cable 1/2 inch on the throttle tube side produced a one inch movement on the carb side. I never used the cable and ended up giving it to a friend of mine. My wife currently races a 2003 YZ125 and since we bought the bike last year we have been fighting with the clutch set up. I run an Applied perch and lever that allows adjustable end point, and with my wife having small hands and short fingers she has to run the lever in pretty close. This of course makes the window of acceptable clutch free play VERY limited. This wasn't an issue on her '00 KX125 or '01 YZ125, but for some reason on this bike when the clutch heats up the free play changes and she has an issue with stalling. So, how are these two items connected? I would like to find the manufacturer of the 1:2 throttle cable and see if it can be customized to a clutch application. That way she can run the lever further in where she is really comfortable with it and still allow proper engagement and disengagement. The issue is I have no clue who made the cable originally, nor can my friend remember that I gave it to (he eventually pitched it). If anyone has a lead I would GREATLY appreciate it. Other than that if anyone has any ideas on how to deal with this issue or another product that would help that would be appreciated as well. About the only other idea I had was to take off the clutch actuator arm (down on the case) and take off about 1/4" (cut and re-weld) to decrease the radius is must travel and allow more actuation with less lever movement. My only concern there is increasing the effort required to pull the clutch. [/QUOTE]
