Default Powered Clutch System for motorcycles

Adaptive Technology, LLC has redesigned their EZ-F Powered Clutch System to a much smaller version. The picture on the website is the original version and the new one is about 1/3 the size. This system uses 12V power to pull the clutch cable with no compromise of throw distance. Easy to install and requires no mechanics or modifications to the engine. Worst case, you will have to remove the fuel tank to run the power wire from the battery.

The force at the clutch handle is reduced from about 20lbs down to about 1-2lbs. Originally designed for folks with left hand disabilities, and other hand pain, it is perfect for anyone. I am not sure when the website will be updated with the new pictures. But give them a call...... www.AdaptiveTechnologyLLC.com

I have one of the originals on my Honda Saber and Fatboy and love it.

I’ve run the burly brand one in all my bikes and have never had an issue, but yes you need to adjust it properly...currently my 2012 Switchback has one, my 2012 Superglide does not, the lever on the Switchback feels much lighter

Not enough to move the bike, but it wants to go. I felt better putting it in with an AIM VP clutch plate though to help create more pressure with higher revs.
Well just since I mentioned it here, I did replace the clutch cable and left in the Easy Pull and things are much better. I do have a very slight amount of clutch drag but I have more range of clutch pull, I can now shift easier, find neutral while running, and back the bike with the clutch in. The clutch movement is also much smoother with the Barnett Chromite II cable.

I honestly cant imagine the clutch being any easier to pull than stock (mine is 2014) and it has almost zero resistance
seams like my 06 felt the same way
maybe if you have a hand injury or something like that, bad arthritis maybe but to me its like saying the throttle is too hard to turn

Some people, including myself, needed to upgrade the clutch spring after making engine upgrades to the point where the clutch would slip and a heavier clutch spring was installed. It makes the clutch pull much more difficult and tiring in stop and go traffic.

yea ok I get that, performance clutch with stiffer springs now that makes since but the stock clutch is pretty light, I almost think the stock clutch is too light for my stock 103

now my '80 ironhead, that clutch will give you a cramp if you get stuck in traffic but on the good note when you dump the clutch you can feel that thing snap shut!
