[QUOTE="chilidawg, post: 74674, member: 1700"] Pulling in the clutch on mine has never been a real problem as it had been going on for so long that I kind've knew what the problem was, and I've used the same cable since day 1, 12 years ago and never have oiled it, I believe that always having the rubber boots on the ends is responsible for that, (now watch it go and break next week). The biggest problem I ever had with clutch operation was letting it out, for years, if I didn't give it a good handfull of throttle the whole motor would sound really bad when pulling away from a dead stop, turned out to be primary chain slap which was cured immediately after I watched Dans youtube vid's on how to sync' your carbs properly, information not available anywhere else on the net at the time, and perhaps to date. My point in all this is to say that I believe that the level of anticipation as to how you are going to mistreat your engine when pulling away, causes an equal and opposite reaction in concern when pulling the clutch in and therefore makes it difficult, and a stiff hand to boot, all I really know is that, it's really sweet now!
