softer clutch

kennebecgtr · Post by **kennebecgtr** » Mon Dec 21, 2015 2:43 pm

Can I install a softer clutch on a 1967 305 scrambler? I have Carpal tunnel in my left wrist; so I can only handle approx. 20 minutes of shifting my CL77. Any advice on this subject? Thanks, William in Minneapolis.

Some of the older 305's had weaker springs, but that went along with clutch slippage problems. I was having problems with my 67 scrambler clutch getting hard. check your cable routing, the larger the radius on the bends the better, lube the cable and it can make a huge difference.

I agree with Stan, once I routed my cable correctly and LUBED IT, it worked fine. It'll never be as smooth as newer bikes, but it is a lot better than when I got it.

I think you guys are misdiagnosing your patient. His chief complaint is carpal tunnel syndrome not sqeaky cable disease. He doesn't need oil/rerouting of his cables, he needs assisted leverage to aid in his disability. Sure oil your cables, but these easy pull systems really work. I knew a gal with arthritis who kept riding after she installed these easy pull levers.
