Title: very heavy clutch
Post by RycaShawn on 01/16/12 at 20:26:55

I just finished building my CS1 and I am worried my clutch is very heavy. Honestly it feels like my left hand will tire very easily. I did take apart the clutch pack and reassemble. Is there a possibility I assembled it wrong? I never rode the bike stock so I am not sure how it should feel, but this feels very wrong.

Have you tried it out yet?

A few disks maybe hung up and it may just slip on you.

If so don't worry, just take it apart and put it back together again.

The fact your clutch feels heavy and, as posted in your other thread, your throttle doesn't snap back, both seem to point to your cables being routed in such a way that they bind because of bends that are too tight.

I believe my throttle is slow to snap back because I have my handle sticking out past the plastic throttle tube. I need to cut the tube and then use oil instead of grease.

My clutch might be heavy because the previous owner possibly might have changed the springs due to a slipping clutch. This I will have to find out myself.

My cable routing without the components attached let the cables move freely. I proved this to myself already. I do want to get shorter cables however. Thanks for the help guys.

I'm pretty sure I got that washer correct as I did take notice to it. I'll give it a go this weekend and see where I'm at. Good suggest for sure.
