Hi All,
Long time lurking first time posting. Super forum and have learnt a lot here so far.
Reason for this post is looking for some advice on clutch alternatives.
To explain, my son whom is 12 has a Atomik 125 pit bike - 4 speed auto.
He has an issue with the nerves in his left had due to a previous accident (not on a bike) and does not have enough strength in his fingers to pull a clutch lever.
He is outgrowing his bike, looking for something with some more power, but everything up in size has manual gearbox with a clutch which he cannot operate with his left hand.
Was wondering of the gurus here have some ideas or suggestions?
Want to get him into a bigger engined bike and was thiking of fabricating some sort of foot clutch - not sure if this is practical?
Any other suggestions or ideas?
His arm is good, and he can safely hold handlebars and is becoming a pretty good rider, just dosent have the strength in is left hand fingers to grab and pull a clutch lever.
As riding our bikes together is our weekend fun, i fear that soon dissaperaing if i cant work out a way to get him into a bigger bike as he is outgrowing the current 125 pitty...
Look forward to some ideas...
Cheers,
Jack180
