it is if you have a dry clutch and weak hands.  ;D

Yes, it is very noticeable.  Not only is pull much easier it increases the friction zone of the clutch.  In stock trim all the modulation is in first 1/2 inch of lever pull.  The new slave increases the range of modulation.  Fanning the clutch in traffic is much easier because the pull is easier and the lever has a more workable range.

Or those tiny Burger King hands.  ;D

If it is still too heavy, remember you can always pull two springs, or put washers under the spring caps or do both!

Especially for you guys who don't have a leaky slave and aren't ready to spend the cashmoney yet.

How do the washers work? I'd think they increase the spring preload, thereby increasing the force required to pull the clutch?

Under the spring caps. Lessens spring preload. You put them under the spring cap, between the hub post and the cap - you don't want one with a diameter large enough to contact the spring itself.

Ah ok, got ya! No clearance issues with the clutch cover that way? (quick reaction by the way!)

No issues on my Rizoma cover, using rizoma spring caps and pressure plate

My results were marginal at best - it did make a difference but not one to write home about.

did you install it your self?

Yes, I did.  If you are at all mechanically inclined you won't have any trouble with it.  Probably one of the easiest mods to do.

would it be worthwhile to put on a wet clutch?  Like, say an s2r800?
