Thanks for all the good advice on my stiff clutch. I bought a clutchlite ramp and installed it yesterday, it made the clutch quite a bit easier to pull. The online instructions were for the wrong bike though. Luckily, I have a shop manual.

How does it affect the clutch engagement?

I tried a Muller power clutch and it ruined my clutch and i had it adj. 2x by a professional shop and neither of them could get it to feel any better.

I ended up selling it to another badwebber. It was making the clutch slip under power.

the ramps are not as steep as stock, so the engagement is spread out over more of the handle travel. I adjusted it per the shop manual, and there is no drag or slip. I considered the Muller, or getting the lighter Ulysses spring, but the clutchlite was the cheapest way to go, and I am all about cheap.

I have one in my XB....it works great, I like how it spreads out the engagement instead of all at once at the end of the travel.

Ever try lubing the clutch cable?

Works wonders and the luber only cost about $10 bucks..........works on throttle cables to.

Both my tubers have 2 finger clutch pulls and I have arthritis.

Mine is the 30% one....I bought it after stop and going across downtown Orlando one busy night. My clutch has the higher pressure spring in it...it would eat your fingers and forearm after a few miles of stop and go...now it's smooth as butta : )
