It's a simple job, hardest part is removing the stock exhaust to gain access to the trap door on the tranny to install the new ramps.

I thought I had read somewhere that some people have had clutch release problems with this kit. Are any of you having any problems with this kit?

Works great...


I waited awhile before installing the clutch spring. Still made a big difference in ease of pull with just installing the ramp.

Someone posted hints on doing the swap without removing the exhaust a few days ago. Even with exhaust removal the job was pretty simple.

I run it in all three of my bikes. Money well spent.

I used the EZ pull ramps, and the S/E spring...............kept the clutch lever the same, but I get the grapping power of the S/E spring.

I found it very easy to do, I also installed the auto-tensioner on the primary at the same time.

I installed a VPC and the EZ pull ramp. After the installation I thought I had broken something. I could pull in the clutch with one finger! Unbelievable difference. The combinantion not only reduces the effort required to pull in the clutch but it also greatly improves the clutch performance and durability.
