    Hi all,
    I find the clutch on my te510 quite stiff (magura master) due to various crashes that have left my grip/wrists quite weak, noticed it this weekend when I had a shot on my buddy's crf450x that has a really light clutch and it made such a difference. Other than a clake that seems mega expensive midwest engineering seem the only other option. There seems to be various good and bad reviews on them but most seem to be for ktm's with the brembo m/cs, any views by someone with them on a 510? Any other options?
    Thanks

    I found a used one and installed it on my '05 510 a few weeks ago. Took some trial and error to get the adjuster screws dialed in, but it works great...much less effort.

    Thanks, heard they can be a pain to set up, does it bite/engage right next to the bar? Reviews seem to say that it had to be set that way, not sure I could get used to that! Any information is appreciated as looking to pull the trigger on this

    It does engage pretty close to the bar. Also, make sure to use Loctite on the adjuster screws...I forgot and had the lever stop adjuster back out during a ride and cause clutch slippage.

    This is an old thread, but as I bought one for my bike recently figured I'd chime in.
    This is an awesome upgrade and one of the best I've done, now it is a 1 finger clutch, perfect for good control.

    They have also started making them again as another new bike is using the same lever!
