What should I do if my Clutch is so hard to pull?
If you find that your motorcycle clutch is so hard to pull that your hand starts to hurt after 20 or 30 pulls, the fix may be a lot more simple than you think. I’ve ridden older motorcycles with pretty stiff clutch levers and I’ve wondered if there was something I could do to make it easier.
How many springs are in a clutch on a motorcycle?
The clutch assembly consists of 4, 5, or 6 springs, depending on your motorcycle. When you pull the clutch you are compressing these springs.
What should I do if my Clutch on my motorcycle is frayed?
Start by inspecting the clutch at the point where it connects to the clutch lever and to the actuator arm. If the cable is frayed, even by one strand, you must replace it. Also check for cracks or worn spots on the housing. To lubricate the cable properly, it should be removed from the motorcycle.
