Stiff clutch

[Tloc]

Hi, I bought a 450r 3 weeks ago. I have 10 hours on it and I love it. When I take it this afternoon the clutch was a little bit stiff and sometime it didn't came back well. Sometime it's okay and sometime not. I lube the clutch cable and the cable is okay. What's wrong with it.
Thanks!

If you only have 10 hours on it, it's still new. Give it time to break in. I also put a light coat of waterproof grease on the pivot bolt and where it slides against the clutch lever holder and e-brake. Don't go crazy with the grease. It will just attract dust and make things worse later. Good luck.

"stiff clutch" is almost always the cable. I've found over the years that lubing cables has little effect on their loaded movement - in other words they'll feel better when you move them back and forth before you hook it all back up, but when you actually put a load against, them they will still pull poorly.

Pick up a new cable and try it out - they are very inexpensive.

The clutch is little stiff and sometime the lever come back very slow?!?! I'll try to lube the cable. Thanks!

If its brand new then its under warranty so it shouldn't cost you anything which is good!
