My clutch is extremely hard to pull.  Is there any way that I can lessen the pull tension.  I installed a new clutch kit after burning my old clutch up a few months ago, and the difference in pull tension was drastic.  It works great and everything, nothing's binding or anything, but it's just really hard to pull.  I'm not a wuss or anything, but it has adversely affected my quickness and power delivery...  I'm off to do a search...

You can get the DEP extended clutch arm OR Magura hydraulic clutch. I use both.  Its as light as 250F.

Back in the eighties i used to race the KX's amateurishly. I was in my mid 20's and definitely broke. Me and my buddy bought some BelRay gear oil to use one day to get away from the 10W40 we always used, and we noticed right off, that this stuff looks like ATF. So after that first bottle we started getting the ATF and running it. We figured in a transmission was a transmission, right? We never looked back after that. Shifts were better, revs were better and clutches were better and lasted longer. Win all the way around. I still use it on the 2 smokers.
