Kx 125 Insanely Hard Clutch!!!!

[2strokeviolence]

My kx125 -96 is suffering from a case of hard clutch, I've just replaced the plates and the springs, the cable is new to, but the clutch still wears me out, after a 30 min moto I'm pumped in my left hand.
anyone know what makes a clutch go hard? anyone got any tips on how I can soften it up??

Wish i could help ya but i have the same problem with my R terrible arm pump in the left arm after a moto.

I think it is just the clutch spring stiffness. mine is pretty stiff but just do alot of riding and u will get use to it.

start using your left hand at night, build up those muscles
i thought mine was stiff with 6 hd springs, i dont even notice it now
my friends whine like babies and say my clutch is "fucked"(whatever that means).. fine with me, stay off my banshee!

yeah but I've had this bike for seven years and I haven't really gotten used to it yet, no other bike I've owned have had a clutch this hard.

weird.... that is strange that you havnt goten used to it after all that time.... i say aftermarket levers will give you better leverage, and make it easier. also, some guy posted awhile back and helped me out. told me about this easy pull cluthc thingy. i bought one on egay for 20 bucks! helps alot! makes it way easier. moose makes it, and it replaces your clucth cable with one that has a little gear box on it... works great!

well I don't get used to it because I ride my other bikes to, I've recently sold a CR250 which had a really smooth clutch, my XR650 has a 2 finger pull clutch, and my pitbike has a 1 finger pull
I went through some old stuff today and dropped in a set of really old clutch-springs ( I think they might be the stock ones!) and that helped a bit, but why would a small-bore 2 stroke require so stiff springs?

I use a EZ pull and it does help.

would someone elaborate on how this EZ pull thing works? perhaps post some links?
