So I bought a set of Kuryakyn trigger levers and when I put the clutch lever in I removed the plastic bushing it came with. Now the clutch has a bit of up and down movement and I'm wondering should I have left that bushing in there or is up and down play normal. I did make sure to put the plastic retaining clip back in. When I changed it out I adjusted the cable nut all the way but still had to pull really hard on the lever to stretch the cable far enough to release the lever, is that normal?


I couldn't get the clamp ring off the brake pin so tomorrow I'm going to the hardware store to buy some new clamps and just rip off the old one lol. I already know about using a shim some hopefully it goes easy.


Here's a pic of the levers so you can see the bushing I'm talking about

 

Personally I would have left the bushings in. Too much movement will not be good.

 

I'm thinking the bushing is there for a reason

 

Your in a Big Mes a?

Put the bushing back in. Do you have a buddy that can help with the brake, so you don't screw it up?

 

Took it apart today and put the bushing and that tightened it up. I don't know why I was thinking it was just a "packaging" item in the hole lol.

Did the brake today with the help of a youtube video, went flawless.

The lesson I did learn is that it is totally worth spending $0.80 at Lowes for two new snap rings so you can just rip the old ones off

 

I love it when a Newbie learns something..

We all had to start at ground Zero and move up..

Another good thing U learned it Google and U tube-Vids are U friends...

There is few thing U can't learn or see how to do by useing the Net for help...
