    Hi all.

    I know these bikes have heavy clutches but this lever is almost unusable - I'm not being a pansy!

    Is there anything I can do at all to make the clutch lighter?

    Have you used the bike, or was it sitting. You can oil the cable, if its been sitting the plates may be stuck together.

    It has been sitting for years - just go with a new clutch cable?
