sloppy clutch lever

Post by jetblack »

My clutch lever has a lot of slop in it. Do the perches wear and will getting a new one on it improve things or are they sloppy right from the get-go?

I've just ordered a new cable and figured while I fit it would be a good time to replace the perch if its going to improve things...
It don't matter if i'm fixin' it or ridin' it.

ditto. Think they are all the same.
If it bothers you that much can you not fit a washer to the pivot below the lever to reduce the slop?
My other ride is another 400, Woohoo!... Doh

Quite possibly - if the concensus was that a new perch would tighten it all up then i'd do it. if not, i'll just live with it.
