[QUOTE="69ST, post: 168027, member: 5"] That clutchpack looks like the Wave 100/Nice 110 semi-auto. Adding a lever-activated throwout mechanism would be the way to go, if you want full manual control. Don't forget, the rotating mass on the crank, becomes wildly different R-to-L once the centrifugal clutch has been removed. That's not a great idea, especially with an assembled crank. Next, the secondary (manual) clutch was not designed for full manual usage. There's less damping, in the basket (manuals have actual springs), the clutch discs have different friction material, less of it and 4 full-width discs, with no anti-chatter spring & seat. This clutch was meant to grab abruptly. IMO, that's a lot working against it, as a full manual conversion. As for dropping rpms to shift...ummm...throttle modulation is part of normal shifting technique, if you want the tranny to last. That Taky clutch conversion has a pleated element oil filter for a reason...no oil spinner. I actually prefer this type of oil filter. That said, any conversion that eliminates the centrifugal clutch, or oil spinner, or uses a lightened spinner, I'd pair with a lightened flywheel...for longevity's sake. [/QUOTE]
