[QUOTE="RichDoyle, post: 1238022, member: 84694"] I put on a set of the 2Wheels levers and developed a clutch problem. I should have detected it when I installed them, but I wound up correcting it and it's fine. Here's the deal: The diameter of the hole in the lever where the clutch cylinder linkage bushing goes was a bit too tight. This is the thing that pivots in the clutch handle and the rod that goes into the clutch master cylinder, pushing on the piston. Normal operation requires that this rotate in the lever as it pulled and released. I initially thought it'd be OK, lubed it and put it all together. A month or two later, I found the clutch slipping. To cut to the reason, the fit was too tight and the cylinder would no longer rotate back into position when the lever was released, leaving the clutch partially disengaged. The fix was to pull it off and ream out the hole in the lever just a bit with a Dremel tool so the bushing rotated freely. Lubed it all up again, put it together and no more clutch slipping. No such problem with the brake lever. [/QUOTE]
