Thumbs up Re: clutch lever!!!

Hey there, Go you have room to ajust the cable at the motor? If so ajust it there. If not take the cable out of the clutch lever Then ajust it to disengage
the clutch, leaving just enough room to put it back in the handle. That might help. Last resort, take cotter pins a little bigger than the inside cable & put them between the lever housing & the lever its self. Spread them with a flat screwdriver and close them with pliers after they have been placed on the cable. cut off excess. Tape em' up so U don't cut yourself.

That's the junk lever....the button lever works great after the clutch is propely adjusted.

So called Russian Lever = NO GOOD. NYET.

I like the long throw comfort bike lever best - but with no button it's a slight pain. I went back to the button lever, because it works really nice with the twister shifter.
