Clutch lever size?

Post by Matt »

Today I received a clutch lever ordered from eBay, it is identical in shape to my broken one except when I went to fit it the ear (for want of a better word) was too thick for the perch.

Now I don't know if the lever or the perch is not a 1VJ one and was wondering if someone wouldn't mind popping callipers on theirs so I can work it out.

:thanks:

I believe the newer WR's have thicker lever pivots .

Thanks xtrider, found that the perch was not standard but managed to file and shape lever to fit :thumb:

BTW settled for a TKC80 in the end as the T63's were currently unavailable, Continental don't do a 130 so went for 140 , well stoked, thanks again for your advice :)

The 140 is going to be tight , I have a 150 Shinko 705 on one of mine and the chain needs to be long so the axle is pushed back as far as possible to clear the swingarm , chain barely passes , those tires don't have knobs so the TK80's will be close but should fit.
