  • clutch

    ok 2day i started to take a mandatory motorcycle class in brevard county today and they had us go over the "friction zone" if your familiar with the term. so when i got home i was playing with my bike and i then realized that my clutch is very tight and hard to pull is this it just needing to b lubed and/or adjusted. cause ive never riding a bike that the clutch was that hard to pull and everything i generally dont use it very much just into first and slightly use for going into second after that i dont clutch it.

    Clean and lube the clutch cable. Make sure the clutch lever is not biding. Make sure the cable inside is not frayed.

      there was alot of things done to this bike before i bought it? and im curious like with my car i have a stage 3 clutch and its alot harder to push it than stock. is there anything like this with motorcycle wet clutches cause my bike doesnt really "float" with the clutch it seems like im either going or not going it dont seem to really have a middle ground to get going. hell maybe my clutch is having issues too?

        Heavy duty springs feel just as you described.

          ok cool just for now ill assume that it does have heavy duty springs to eliminate that outta the equasion. and about the only play i have is well in neutral i can push the bike with little [normal] force but with the clutch in and in first gear its hard as hell to move by my feet pushing it

            Sounds like an old cable to me. Honestly, cables are not expensive, and can really ruin your day when they fail, so it might be worth just replacing it to be sure.

                The 750 cable is probably a touch longer as the bars are a little higher on a 750, but otherwise they should be the same. The 750 cable should work perfectly for you.

                    Definitely needs adjustment there.
