Hi all. Just came across this forum.I have a ktm 495 82. I am wondering about about the clutch springs on this bike. I can engage the clutch with one finger? This seems to good to be true. Can anyone tell me the clutch spring free lenght or wear limit. Am also looking manual. Thanks for any replies kjjy
You'll have to excuse my smarta-- remark here, but you must have one heck of a strong finger!!!!
You may find your answer by contacting Bobby Lucas in Texas, his number has been mentioned in several past issues of POG newsletter, or can contact Barry Higgins too!
Good luck....
Kjjy: I just joined POG and noticed your question about clutch springs on the forum. DKWRacer is correct, Bobby Lucas in Arlington, TX is one of the local Penton gurus and should be able to help with an answer. His pager number is 800/805-8676.

CAN YOU STILL GET A SET OF POINTS FOR A 1973 PENTON 125? WILL OTHER IGNITION SETS WORK?
If you go to the home page of POG, you'll see 5 of our compadres listed who either have replacement points that will work for your '73 125 or can tell you who does. I hope this helps.
