Step-by-Step Guide: Motorcycle Clutch Arm Replacement

Replace the clutch arm and base to reduce lever effort ("one finger clutch"). Based on the KTM 790 Adventure hardware shared with the CFMoto 800MT / Ibex 800.

Remove the existing arms

Mark where the original equipment was aligned before removal.

Install the new arm and base

Using the original install locations as a guide, loosely fit the new arm and base.

Adjust and Test

• Mark original alignment
• Remove base and arm; disconnect cable
• Install replacement arm and base loosely; adjust
• Tighten with clutch spring preloaded to correct position
• Test ride and fine-tune adjustments

Adjust the base and arm position, then test ride to verify clutch feel.
