Hard Clutch Pull

[Z400/400ex]

I have a 2001 400ex and the clutch is hard to pull. The clutch seems to be working fine, but my hand is getting worn out.
Any suggestions???

Oh yeah I replaced the cable and that was not the problem

Get a new cable, it will help. Make sure you route it correctly. Mine was very hard to pull and I looked at the cable and it was starting to fray. My buddy's 400ex was starting to get a little harder to pull so we lubed the cable up and it helped. Check your cable to see if you need a new one or if yours just needs lubed.

buy the $10 cable luber from whoever. I just replaced my original stock clutch cable after 3 years of use because i lubed it with a cable luber every month. I could tell a slight difference after switching it with a new one. They are worth their weight in gold i think..

Hey yo mofo's.... he already replaced the cable. If you have the cable routed right (no kinks - kinda hard to get a kink) and have it adjusted properly...it should pull in pretty nice. Either you have some internal clutch problems or you need to work on your grip a bit.

numbnuts jerry up there ^ his lever is really hard to pull but hes got real strong forearms cuz his wife works nights!
