Clutch assist kit from BRP

[benjaminleroux]

Got the clutch assist installed this week and I does make a nice difference.

Glad I found this thread and glad I got it done.

Took my tech about 2 hours and somewhat to install.

Howdy,

Got all the parts and did the installation today. A couple of items I noticed and also need some guidance. First they had me order four small clamps and two larger clamps. I don't see how I can use the two larger clamps since all the hoses in play are the same size (small). Thoughts? Second, the install instructions don't clearly state which way the valve is installed. I installed it with the arrow point towards the intake plenum. Anyone suggest otherwise? Hard to tell from the pictures but I'm beginning to believe I may have it backwards. Lastly, I cannot find the mounting points for the screws to mount the solenoid. The pictures don't seem right to me. Anyone have any ideas or better pictures on where I mount the solenoid?

A few tight spots to get my hands in and poor instructions. Has taken me at least two hours to get to this point - solenoid not mounted; missing some clamps; unsure of orientation of valve.

Help is appreciated!

I did this project on my wife's F3 a while ago , so I don't remember all the details. I do remember that I gave up on trying to use screws to mount the solenoid and just zip tied it securely to something. I don't recall which way the valve goes, but it was counter-intuitive and I had to reverse my original decision to get the assist to work.. In the end, she loves the clutch mod, though.

I purchased mine via www.powersportswarehouse.com - you will need the individual part numbers.

I bought them last night ,but my seller don't have a colour painter so I will have black and white only.

Will that be a problem?

[Bruce B]

Yes it will be a problem you really need it printed in colour.

Thanks for the parts list!
Now if I can just get a hold of the color install sheet I'll get this going.
I'll take detailed photos and post a full install thread when I do mine.

I had installed the clutch assist kit today, what a difference!!!

This is what you get in the kit, two hoses, two valves, and few hose lockers.

Can't understand why this isn't a standard system on our F3 SM6?

Without the system the lever is a super hard pull, even harder than my MT01 1700cc.

With the clutch assist kit, the pull becomes a 600cc sport bike, very happy with it.

But I still miss my KTM 690's clutch lever with its super light pull!


Thanks for Bruce B's help!!!

Updated my 2015 CAN AM F3S with the vacuum assist for the clutch. It is a very noticeable difference in the pull required. I’ve had a few times when stuck in traffic when my hand would hurt from having to keep the clutch level pulled in. I like change the mod has made.

Makes a Big difference- They did mine under warranty because they claimed I'm old and couldn't hold in the clutch- It worked?

Hello all new Spyder owners here. Thanks for all the information on this clutch kit. We just picked up a 2018 F3 Sport with manual transmission and would like to make the clutch pull easier. We will check out all of your posts and links. Thanks a lot. Jeff and Marty

Are all the F3 clutch levers difficult? I am looking at possibly purchasing a 2019 F3-S with manual transmission and clutch?
