I have a 95 GSXR600F. The clutch works fine and feels OK.

Although it requires more force to squeeze then other clutches I have felt on some newer bikes.

I want to get in the habit of using 2 fingers on the clutch, but it is to hard to squeeze, especially after a couple of miles of riding.


Is there anything I can do to make the clutch easier to squeeze?


Please advise. Thanks

Have you lubed the cable lately????


If you haven't, you'll be pleasantly surprised at the change.

How do I go about lubing the cable?

 

[Scotteq]

Get some silicone spray, and shoot it into the gap near the lever where the cable goes past the adjuster. Cycle the lever a bunch of times to help carry the lube down.

Use stuff called tri-flow with teflon. They sell it in bike shops. It doesn't collect dirt and when it dries like other lubricants, it still remains as slick as when it is wet.

The clutch on my katana was always hard to pull. Even when I put a new cable on it was a tight pull.

Sounds like you need to build some clutch muscle!
