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 waytogo

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  waytogo

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 Grin
