Easy pull clutch ramp

The easy pull ramp is gonna make your finding neutral more difficult if you adjust your clutch to the 1/4 (90*) turn back off while using the 12 clutch pack that is OEM in your bike.
I installed the soft pull ramp and I continued to use the 12 disc clutch, but I found in order to find neutral when sitting that the adjustment is a fine line, and its much closer than the 1/4 turn back off, mine is more like 5*-7* and that was 10K miles ago. You can get it too close and wear out the throw out bearing quickly, but if you turn the adjustment rod in 6-10 times until you get a good feel for the throw out bearing you ever so slightly back it off enough to where finding neutral is easy done.
Another way is to bring the rpm's up to 2K and it will slip in to neutral also.
So really I should stick to what I have...

No, the difference is huge, my 09 compared to my 05 is night and day, I didn't mind the 05 cause I didn't know any better, but since owning the 09, I would not go back to the regular pull clutch.

This is how I do it, works just fine.

I really don't have to review mine up that much, after downshifting and slowing down she usually slips right into neutral.. never bothered me much, but every time I hope on the Fury or the cbr it drives me nuts for a few after hopping back on the k9

Can't remember any real difference between my -03 and -08, all -08s should have the easypull, right? Maybe my memory is really bad as my wife always remembers to tell me.

What? explain please
I would have had to get a whole new clutch pack and the ramp with new bearings, looking at around 400.. wasn't worth it to me considering all I was doing was an update on my clutch plate that was perfectly fine by the way, and my nut and washer.. lol. And now after readjusting everything, I can find neutral at a stand still and the bike doesn't want to creep at the light n e more.

I'm wondering what bearings they were talking about? and the reason I asked is because I never installed the 9 disc clutch pack as they recommended. I just adjusted it closer than the 1/4 back off turn as I have discussed earlier with you.

Could they be talking about throwout bearing, maybe the stem or pedestal is different length on 9 plate clutch?
