Subject:Clutch pedal pressure
From:Gary McEachern

Hello
When I converted my '87 Wolfy from automatic to standard I installed a used
clutch disk presure plate with new master and slave cylinders. I found the
pressure required to disengage the clutch was quite heavy compared to the
clutch on my '90 Westy. I subsequently replaced the clutch and pressure
plate with the standard Sachs clutch kit. No change!

Is there a reason why the clutch on the '90 is significantly easier to
engage ans dis-engage?  Has anyone else experienced this?  Could the pedal
assembly be different on the later models. Lighter spring on the clutch
pedal maybe?

Any comments or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Gary
