Read this thread BW, http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=63498
There is a cheap solution to a lighter clutch if you still need it, and less complicated than swapping to a hydraulic system. I'd try getting the clutch cable system serviced, so its working 100%, and the use this device if you're still having problems http://www.smproducts.co.uk/details/...easy-lightener

I suffer from RA in some fingers and fitting fatter gel grips has helped a lot over the years,
![]() I've fitted a set to my SV but had to sand off the ridge on the throttle sleeve and take the end caps off the grips(To allow for bar-end weights).The larger diameter and gel helps stop vibrations and fatigue through my fingers.Unfortunately I cannot find this style any more on eBay or Amazon. However I suspect these would be a good replacement, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/7-8-1-22Mm...kAAOSw~otWg2sJ Also I'm looking into fitting my,"Vista" cruise control but will need to replace the throttle sleeve, http://www.jaws-motorcycles.co.uk/bird2.htm#vcc They seem expensive for a small piece of plastic and a few metal bits but they are excellent and worth the money.Unlike,"Cramp Buster" paddles you can't hit it accidentally and on long clear roads/Motorways it's great relief.

If you get to see the old crew at the 8 ball now empire.
Jump on my Tiger and see if it's very light action is your cup of tea. The streets and Daytona are as light too. I have rubbed some of my Axsain on my hands on bad day's. Though my main concern is the knees
