Default Re: clutch lever

I too use a brake lever but I'm not looking for a designated clutch lever. I like the brake lever pretty well.

I have that kit in 80cc and yes the clutch is atrocious. I never could make mine work at all. Be careful of the accelerator as well. I ruined mine while trying to get the motor to start. Got carried away and tried to get a little more gas in it one time too many.

I wound up using the gear selector lever from a mountain bike as a throttle control and I like it just fine. I think I'll be able to use a regular brake cable if my throttle cable breaks now.
