250rr how to soften clutch

[ks9mm]

let me clarify rekluse point..I can ride bike as with regular clutch 99%.

what I feel is that clutch will disengage only if you lock the rear wheel. from that moment one, it's free wheeling. but if you do not lock rear wheel, clutch stays engaged and delivers engine braking.

also, maybe it's me.. but I never felt whole lot of engine braking on my 300...

where are you located?

I'm not an autoclutch fan, but the ones I've ridden a blip of the throttle will re-engage the clutch and resume engine braking.

That's how it works.
If someone likes engine braking. Why buy a 2 stroke? I like 2 strokes for the lack of it.

BalkanB and ac75, regarding the MME levers I don't really understand your considerations.
As far as I know, it operates like the OEM lever with lower effort.

I use it on my bike and it suits me find. Maybe for shorter riders with smaller hands, reach may be little limited (although its adjustable) but for me (6.2) its find.

Remember there is no free lunch with these levers. Reduced pull effort = Reduded master cyl travel = potential clutch drag

I just received my 2015 250 rr race with the 3.0 installed before the bike was started. I do not have anytime on it but with the same setup in my daughters ktm I loved it.

I'll maybe try it sometimes. Is the pull noticeably easier then stock?
I wear size L gloves, so my reach with the index finger isn't very far.
I keep the stock adjuster screw all the way out, and lever in the closest position. (mainly for the clutch bite)

thanks guys, appreciate all the input.

I love my Midwest Mountain lever. We have lots of rocky single track here so the clutch gets abused, no problems. Reduced clutch pull by about 40%, feels close to the clutch on my trials bike now.
