ARC vs ASV vs Stock - Clutch Perch and Lever Comparisons

Here is a video breakdown and comparison of the ARC RC8 clutch perch with the memlon levers, the ASV C6 clutch perch and levers and a stock clutch perch and lever. Some details on the similarities and differences between the aftermarket and stock as well.

One item I failed to mention in the video is how the aftermarket clutch perch affected the feel of the clutch pull. On my YZ250FX, the aftermarket clutch perch made a huge difference in the feel of the pull, making it lighter and easier to use. Pure guess would be roughly 35% easier to pull in, quite a different feel. On my YZ250X however, it was not as noticeable, maybe 10% easier to pull. I have found that aftermarket clutch perches seem to help a 4 stroke bike alot more than a 2 stroke.

I also got some more info from ARC on their levers and they came back with the following information:

1) ARC Levers are the inventors of the folding lever (we hold the patent), everyone came after us. Not ASV.
2) We have duel pivot bearings on the outside of the perch so they don’t get sloppy like “all” the others.
3) We have a full adjuster boot on the RC-8 to keep the adjuster clean. The adjuster is also memlon with 2 ball detents for 1/8 of a turn adjustment.
5) The weight is also a factor, we are lighter than all the rest as well.
6) The bodies are “Cold forged” then machined from billet to what you received. (a much stronger part).
7) The brake levers have a “precision ground sleeve” to pivot on so they don’t get sloppy from use.
8) Unbreakable Memlon means you always have a lever attached to the bike and our cold forged aluminum levers may bend but don’t break off, means you will finish the race or gets you back to the truck.
