[Leigh]

OK my clutch is starting to get to me... i bought the bike about a month ago and someone put all kinds of parts and money into this thing before i owned it..so my clutch is extremly hard to squeeze in..i dont know what it has for a clutch in it or mabe its the springs that make it so stiff... i mean its so hard to sqeeze in my girlfriend cant squeeze it with one hand... or when i ride for a few hours its like painfull to pull it in.. got any advice.. thanks in advance

try a ASV clutch lever. I use one with 6 Toomey springs and my clutch pull isn't bad. If thats still to stiff for ya might wanna try backing down to 3 HD springs and 3 stock springs.

That is the one I have. Just so you know that particular one is a Remanufactured lever. Mine was 105 for a new one from motosport.com

I bought a remanufactured one too. It carries a warranty and comes in a factory sealed package. I'd buy another one in a heartbeat if I needed one.

Don't forget about the clutch cable too. If it hasn't been cleaned and lubed in a while, that will also make the lever pull very stiff. I have a 2006 Banshee, and I already changed out the cable to a Motion Pro Terminator clutch cable and it made a HUGE difference. The pull is now softer than it was even when I rode my Banshee for the very first time brand spanking new. :cool:

Yep, another vote here for clutch cable.

 

Cheap and easy to replace and might take care of the problem. A friend of mine had the same problem. His clutch was way hard to pull. We replaced the clutch cable and it made a huge difference.

 

Save the $100+ from the lever and try the cable first.

bought the cable!! i think i am still going to buy the lever too just because i like it..lol.. and i want to eliminate as much as possible all at once

[Leigh]

i got the cable today..i installed it and it made a big difference!!! i will get the lever in a few days so i should have a nice easy pull.. thanks for everything

I only paid 35 shipped for the remanufactured Lever. Sorry I was wrong.. It was 25 shipped

I got an E-Z pull lever, and perch from FAST Racing, and it was about $30-$35, plus a new clutch cable-$15. I'm running a FAST clutch with all 6 heavy springs, and my clutch pull is easier than when it was stock.
