I've actually found quick shifting like that to be smoother than using the clutch upshifting. Haven't really tried that on the Indian.2 wheeled farm implements have straight cut gears for sure engagement. They don't care about the extra noise when you're bailing hay and ****.
"Add the "Easy Clutch" to your classic and vintage BMW and it lessens the force required to pull the clutch lever. The effort required to operate the clutch is less than half of the stock setup!"
Physics Their statement is not actually fully accurate (by wording and by omission). The amount of effort (work) is the same before and after the modification. The work is pressure/force over distance. What they are doing is exactly what any pulley does- it reduces the amount of force, but you have to apply that force over more distance. So what this means is to halve the amount of force of the clutch, you must pull it twice as far each time. A good comparison is lifting a 10 pound weight 10 times is the same amount of effort as lifting a 20 pound weight 5 times.
silly stuff...
I don't really think that effort "explanation" really is right either...
I guess that's why I use small glasses when I drink beer.. reduces my "lift effort"..
anyways, a "single pully does not reduce effort.. just changes the direction of the pull... E=W
in order to "reduce" effort" a second pully must be added into the equation, and there in lies the "reduction", but again, some effort is lost due to friction on the pullies..

what is being seen in that BMW farkle, is not really due to the directional change, as much as because of the "lever" principle, based on the actual "diameter" of said chain gear ; which does give specific advantage of the "lever" due to it's "distance from the rotational axis"
With a single moveable pulley the effort force is half (or more due to efficiency loss) of the load.

Ahhh look again guys...isn't the BMW device shown a movable pulley..which according to the reference you provided.....

That's why I said it doesn't seem like it should work as good as it does. The pulley moves & the clutch only moves 1/2 the distance to engage/disengage.
I admit, I didn't actually look at the "Install" instructions, and din't see that the "pullygear' was floating..
so Yes... it does make for 1/2 effort... sorry...
But the same amount of work
define "work"..."
the pressure/effort for movement is halved.
levers make "work" easier, [...] so.. no, it's less work.

What to do, what to do... Time for the sword to be sharpened again..
Sigh...surrounded by Twits....As all Muggle-Wumps should be, now back to standing on your head!
