This bike is starting to be a lot of fun.  It starts up so quickly and doesn't even need the choke like the s2r.  But DAMNN the clutch lever is so much stiffer to pull back.  I heard that best thing to do is change the clutch slave??  Any thoughts?  Thanks

I definitely recommend an aftermarket slave. If you get one, I can help you install it.

Also, forget coring the pipes. Get yourself an Arrow full system [thumbsup]

I was going to go with a after market slave since I split lanes often and a hour doing that your hand gets cramped.

However...

If you remove 2 springs you reduce the pull by 33% and its a free mod  [thumbsup]

Not sure I'd want to do that...you might burn through clutch plates quicker.

Probably not, if you're just commuting. I, on the other hand, tend to burn them up ;D
