Default Clutch Lever?

Is their anyway i can loosen my clutch levers resistance? I was on a kx450 the other day( killer bike) the bikes clutch lever took barely any pressure to pull it in.

I'm assuming everything is clean and lubed?

If it is then making the clutch action lighter requires a bit of work.

You could try pushing the perch in towards the centre of the bars so you get more leverage.

Have a search around and see if there is a Magura Hydraulic Clutch kit that will fit.
Or maybe look for a different perch/lever set up.

I can't imagine its worth the bother.
I find the KLX clutch action pretty good.

Either there is something wrong with yours or it's in your head.

I find mine real easy. I'm after cutting a couple inches off. Can still operate clutch with two fingers no problems. Dont want a real easy clutch anyhow. think that would be too strange- no feel maybe.

My KLX has the lightest clutch pull I've ever felt, first time I got on it I checked to see if the cable was connected lol.
