Title: handlebar compression release lever Post by wombat on 06/16/11 at 06:35:33 Racing dirt bikes such as the Honda XR650R have a manual compression-release lever mounted on top of clutch lever. Very clever. Has anyone tried to fit one of these, or something like it, on a Savage or Ryca? One problem is that most dirt bikes have 7/8" bars while our's is 1". Dave |

Title: Re: handlebar compression release lever Post by justin_o_guy2 on 06/16/11 at 07:20:18 Id want a bar mounted decomp If I had a kick start. The simplest, most elegant decomp Ive seen was a simple lever on the head. Cant remember who has it,, The decomp is only needed for a split second, to make sure the starter can get the engines mass swingin so it could push thru compression & not overload the starter & its gears. If the piston is down & going into the exhaust stroke, the decomp isnt even needed,, but, its there, just in case its coming up on compression, |

Title: Re: handlebar compression release lever Post by wombat on 06/16/11 at 07:23:15 But how do you hold the clutch in and hold the compression release open both with your left hand at the same time? |

Title: Re: handlebar compression release lever Post by justin_o_guy2 on 06/16/11 at 07:27:30 You dont, you flip the lever to trap an exhaust valve partially open & when the cam opens the exhaust valves fully open it flops back, |

You hold the clutch with three fingers and the decomp with the index. |
