Clutch lever is very stiff
 

Hi All,

Since having engine no 2 installed, I've always had a very clunky gear change, and the clutch seems to be slipping.

I noticed today that the clutch lever started to get really stiff, even though it still changes gear.

Any ideas anyone, I've tried adjusting it...i think it's a new clutch me thinks :roll:

Mine started doing this on the Bandit B4 i sold it, i think it was just the clutch cable itself, might want to try oiling/replacing it

The condition of the clutch won't affect it's weight, the cable and the lifter will - oil the cable or, if it's the culprit, preferably replace it and grease the lifter and the lever pivot.
