symptom: clutch lever no longer functional and cable feels as if it's attached to nothing.
cause: riders who love sitting in traffic/at red lights with bike in gear and lever pulled in for extended periods of time.

I do this....then I get bored and the back tire starts to smoke...strange phenomenon.
Seriously though....This looks like a nice little set-up. Looks like in the near future, we will need guys like yourselves to 'invent' fixes and replacements! Thanks for your efforts!!!

I guess if i was to install one of these clutch effort reducers 16077 - 95-09 Muller Power Clutch it would go hand in hand to fit this kit?

Hi,
Trying to get the clutch operation straight in my mind:
The inner and outer ramp assembly is captured by the primary cover.
The inner ramp rests against the primary casting lip.
The outer ramp is against the primary cover which holds the ramp assembly in place.
When the clutch lever is pulled, the outer ramp rotates and somehow moves the pressure plate, opening the clutch plates. During this I’m guessing that both the cover and casting lips are under quite a bit of load. Looks like a good idea but have some questions:
On a primary casting whose lips are not broken do you leave the lips intact and mount the aluminum plate over them?
It’s hard to tell from the pictures but it looks like the top of the three round columns where the screws go are lower than the lip. Would it be necessary to shim in order to keep the plate from being stressed?
What depth do you drill the screw holes go down to? I wouldn’t think you would want them to go through to the cover bolt holes?
Can you post your installation instructions?
When will you be back in production?

You pretty much have it right. There's a shaft that runs through the center of the inner and outer ramp. As the outer ramp pulls out, it brings the pressure plate with it releasing the clutch. The outer cover doesn't do very much at all. All the spring pressure is put inward on the 2 cast AL lips which creates the issue at hand.

I imagine this is something good to do when you put in a new clutch and springs? I would think if it survives an original clutch, it would definitely be toast quicker with a brand new one?
How many miles does this thing typically break? I know it depends on driving conditions, as I am in rush hour traffic with the clutch in a lot.
