crosstrainingen... The Clake One light Clutch. Is it the world's lightest clutch for dual sport motorbikes and advneture bikes? Probably. Many viewers noticed I am using a Clake One Light clutch again. I broke my Brembo unit... doh! The replacement was expensive so for an extra $130 I got the Clake instead, great for a lighter clutch for adventure bikes. Riders in our group have been using this clutch for seven years, so here is our long-term review. Welcome to Cross Training Adventure, we are into all things dual sport and adventure on the east coast of Australia. The Clake One Light clutch is completely manufactured in Australia to maintain quality control. Unlike some lighter clutch options, it does not use extra leverage. Keen on adventure riding in Australia? Check out our vids. The clutch action remains the same, but you can lighten the 'clutch pull' up to 75%. As your skills develop, you use the clutch more and more. Even professional riders can encounter 'arm pump'. A lighter clutch is often part of the solution. The Clake One Light clutch is designed for 'one finger' use. If you like dual sport riding in Australia then you might like our adventure riding vids. This allows more fingers wrapped around the handlebars for better control. The lever has a flexible plastic section built in to reduce the chances of breaking the lever. There are two types of adjustment. You can adjust the lever in or out - perfect for riders with small hands. Why? We reckon it's 80% the rider and 20% the bike. So the Cross Training Adventure focus is just get out there and have fun on two wheels. Cross Training Adventure actively avoids sponsorship. We like doing seriously critical reviews. So subscribe. Or don't subscribe to our Cross Training Adventure riding channel. The main thing is get out and ride while you can with dual sport riding or Adventure riding in Australia, Canada, Vietnam, Romania and beyond! So check out Cross Training Adventure. This screw adjusts the 'clutch pull'. Technically you can reduce the 'pull' down to 75% but I didn't go quite this far. Check out our reviews of various adventure bikes and dual sport bikes along with the Clake One Light clutch. You need a certain degree of tension to maintain a good feel to the clutch. Other riders in my group agree. How does it work? Black magic and voodoo. Somehow a mechanism stores energy when the clutch is released so it can be used when you pull the clutch in. I don't understand this devilry. Get your Clake One Light clutch blessed by a priest if you have any concerns. The Clake can be transferred from motorbike to motorbike. One of our guys has used his for six years without servicing and it still works perfectly. Clake provide all the parts required if you want to do your own servicing. At this price, you need to protect your investment with full handguards. Why have I gone back to the Clake One Light clutch? I have used the Midwest lever in recent years. It's cheaper. But it only reduces the clutch 'pull' by about 30%. This is pretty good, but my arthritic fingers are finally demanding more. Also, the Midwest lever relies on leverage so you really need to be careful with adjustment to make it work properly. As always, our reviews focus on the potential negatives. It's manufactured in Australia so it's expensive. If you only want to reduce your clutch 'pull' by 15% to 30%, there are cheaper solutions. See this video. But if you have medical issues like arthritis and tendonitis, or suffer from chronic arm pump, this is a great long-term solution. And make sure they are high quality handguards. The Clake is a bit bigger so you may need to use a longer bolt and a spacer to push your handguard out to allow fitment. On some motorbikes, the clutch cable is not quite long enough to reach the Clake. It mainly seems to be Beta (or 'Baytuh') models, Clake have an extension piece for these situations. But generally most owners will settle for around 60% assistance or less, as you usually want a certain degree of resistance to provide a good 'feel' to the clutch. I googled around to see if other riders encounter problems with the Clake. Neither did the four riders I know who bought Clakes. But Clake has done an installation video with some tips. Do you own a Clake One Light clutch? Any problems? Let us know, we always put long-term comments in our pinned first comment with KZitem reviews. Very occasionally, your clutch setup may use mineral oil instead of DOT brake fluid. The Clake uses seals that will only suit one or the other. If your new motorbike uses a different fluid, your Clake will need to be rebuilt to suit. Keep pressure washers away from the Clake. There are more possible entry points if water is under pressure. A few owners have needed to service the Clake after forcing water into them.
