the easy pull box is junk i used to run them when i raced quads and snapped 2 of them. The cable just frays and breaks . a friend put one on his bike and it broke an hour from home and he was stuck there until he found someone with tools

That clutch perch would be nice, I like the msr but they break way to easy! This would be perfect!

Re: New style clutch design - lever/perch

Well it sucks to hear about those boxes like that... I had one on my old bike for about a year and loved it! It made it so much easier and never snapped my cable? Maybe I just got lucky..... I wish I could remember what kind it was, I had it back in 05-06...

P.S. What would you suggest I get for a handbrake and easy pull clutch on my clapped out gsxr?

I don't know anything about gixxers, but have you ever heard of the clutch mod? You take your case cover off, pull the clutch arm off your bike, cut it in half and stick about a 1/2" piece of steel in it, and weld it that 1/2" longer.. Makes it like your bike is factory ez pull..

On my f4i I run 1/2" longer clutch arm with a MSR ez pull, butter clutch!

Hmmm never heard of that? I would definitely have to find someone out here that has done it before to do it for me... Sounds kinds sketchy, like if you **** it up, your fucked.... I had to replace all my clutch plates on my last gsxr and that was a huge pain in the ***... I don't even wanna get started with that **** again... LOL anyways, thanks for the tip, I'll ask around...

and when I say cut the clutch arm in half, I mean the part thats OUTSIDE your bike that the cable attaches to

If you have it welded good, nothing can go wrong

Athough I need to find out why my clutch is slippin now (not really slippin by more like at the pop of the clutch in any gear it doesnt GRAB off rip, if that makes sence), but its not slippin at high RPM in any gear, think I may just need to adjust it down by the clutch arm

ya definitely make sure you leave 1/16th-1/8th inch freeplay at the lever when its all the way out

Also it might not feel like it grabs as hard.. Since with a factory setup, say you move your finger 1/4" for it to grab.. With a ez pull mod you gotta move your finger say 1/2" for it to grab the same
