clutch lever too tight.

[greatmoorred]

Anyone else suffer from the clutch being a bit on the tight side ?
After a run out my left wrist is stiff from pulling in the lever.
Can i adjust this at the handle bars ?

Any chance that your clutch cable is on its way out?

Not if it's hydraulic

If it's cable operated, check the routing of the cable to make sure it's not trapped or kinked, and lube it well.

Also check that the throwout mechanism at the gearbox end isn't clagged up with chain gunge.

have you recently lubricated the clutch cable? If not, get a small bag, poke a hole in it and put the cable through. Then seal the bag with an elastic band onto the cable outer. Fill this bag with oil while you move the cable in and out. when oil strats dripping out of the other end of the cable it will be properly lubed.

much better is graphite spray (or other cable lube spray, i have some and its gold stuff, works just as well), hard to find but well worth it, its graphite in a solvent, it gets right down the cable and it stays there unlike wd40 or oil which will eventually just fall out.. when you get a new cable/speedo, if possible take the inner part out, copper slip + high melting point grease it up, cable lube if you have it though... then fit it, lasts a hell of allot longer
