can anyone point me in the right direction, my wifes li 200cc set up is causing her problems as the clutch is far to hard for her to pull in with her hands & grip only being small
so any ideas on how to lighten this up so she can operate it without all the moaning it hurts her hand & fingers
thanku

Is it a standard 200 engine Pete? If so, I'd get hold of some NOS Innocenti clutch springs from Scooter Restorations. This way you know what you're getting i.e. the correct tension and size springs for a standard clutch. Otherwise you're at the mercy of springs with no quality control and ultimately too stiff.

I know of plenty of people that have an Easyclutch in their garage, but none with one fitted to a Lambretta

Has anyone successfully used one?

A dog leg clutch lever aint a bad idea, you can buy them from motor bike shops for as little as £8 and they need very little fettleing to fit a lammy

Why not just fit a MBD clutch lever with a correctly fitted MBD nylon
lined clutch cable, you can pull the clutch in with one
finger........... simple, I dont understand why this is ever an issue!
