T595 Heavy Clutch

Welcome Wheelnut. They’re not all like that at all, in fact mine has a pretty light clutch action.
I’d definitely start with a new cable and make sure your lever isn’t binding. Give the lever pivot point a clean up and lube.
It’s also worth making sure the cable is routed correctly and isn’t bending tightly round something.

 

As Freck says, mines a '97 and is light so check everything to do with lever and cable. If no better check clutch actuator on engine casing. If no better then possible clutch springs check. On other bikes i found owners changed clutch springs for stiffer versions which makes lever stiffer to pull in

Hey wheelnut , did you have any joy with the new cable?

 

His last visit to the forum was 11 weeks ago FYI

 

Great stuff! Only got my first speed triple in November so have struggled to get out much until today when I found myself in traffic which highlighted how heavy the clutch was.
Will change the cable but but don’t suppose the shorty levers help!
Thanks for the reply.

 

I use to own 99 955i speed triple that I rebuilt and found the clutch on the heavy side, I'd fitted new cables and played around with the routing and even took the clutch apart and 're did springs it made no difference, think it was generally a heavy clutch, but my misses was able to ride it and she is 8-9 stone and said she was happy with it.

 

I find my 97 T595 a bit on the heavy side but it only shows itself to be so after being in traffic for a while. Once on the move it's only used for downshifts anyway. Something I did fit, just because it was a bargain, was a slipper clutch - bloody brilliant.

 

Yea I think it’s me rather than the bike as it took me six month to find this bike after selling my cbr so probably (have!) gone a bit soft as well as the Honda having an extremely light clutch.
In all fairness there is nothing to suggest anything is wrong with the cable , good routing and its is smooth. More hours riding me thinks.
