Title: Problem: Clutch resistance for little hands
Post by: gsmetal on April 12, 2006, 09:57:30 AM
So I have the GS on the road and it's running great but this bike is for my wife who has little hands and as such is finding the clutch lever very stiff. In addition, the reach to the lever is quite long for her hands.

Any solution for this?

I have huge hands and have never really thought of this as a problem.

It's a great investment for the chicks and it has 5 settings so it's easy to suit to you both.  I use it on my EX and my ratbike...great investment.

Also, lubing the cable will help, too.  Not trying to be a smartas.
