clutch arm

[Simon Jones]

I have been told that there is a longer clutch arm available that make your clutch lighter
Does any one know of supplier?
would suit my z1 and h2

[Ginger Bear]

From memory the Unitrak clutch lifter arm was longer than the z1000J B1/B2 but I'm nut sure if you can fit the mechanism to a Z1.

Failing that, this works well...... www.z1enterprises.com/product/PM72-230

That looks interesting,have you fitted one Steve?

[Serps]

I have one of these fitted and it does make it easier to use the clutch.

[Pigford]

Much cheaper to use a Falk hydraulic conversion.

Got one fitted to my current project, not managed to ride the thing yet, but the clutch does feel light and easy.

Great mod this (imo) Works really and easy to put back to standard if you want to, I have fitted two of these great service from Z1 enterprises as well.😊

just extend your own 15mm it will make a big difference

Which bit? (and how?)

[z1bman]

the arm that the cable is attached to. make another arm with some 3mm plate then remove the cable bracket by grinding of the rivet. weld the new longer arm over the existing arm then re attach the the cable bracket with a blind rivet or a cut down 6mm bolt & peen the end of the bolt so the bracket is free to move

Thanks
My clutch on the A4 has a high bite point. I set it up as per the manual but it doesn't have the progression over the whole movement of the lever I'm used to

That's interesting stuff Z1B, I never thought of that idea of extending the arm. I maybe thought it would not have the clearance for any adjustment of arm length. I suppose the downside (if any) is that your clutch lever travel for release would be slightly longer

if you remove the cover you can measure how much clearance you have between the lifting arm & the bottom of the cover

I have a side pull clutch from Alan Cooper on my Z1000J with a later clutch fitted. I will need to go to the gym, to build up some muscles to operate it, so extending the arm may be a good idea.
