clutch adjustments

[The Flyin Hawaiian]

Compared to older KX250s, the clutch pull is harder with the 05 and up models. They changed the way the clutch is activated by moving the clutch arm inside the left magneto cover as opposed to on top of the cases. This, and possibly stiffer springs from the factory, has made the pull harder. You really cant compare a CR pull because they are 2 completly differant bikes. The CR may have a easier pull but not from just the clutch lever and perch alone.

if you decide to go for a different brand of lever, you need to measure the centre to centre distance of your kx lever, from pivot bolt centre to cable hole centre.dont know measurement off the top of my head, but say its 50mm, your replacement lever should have a shorter measurement to make the pull easier, say 44mm.the bigger the difference, the less your plates will disengage at full lever, so dont go too far.hth.
