Wayne; If your bike is used and you bought it that way it may have a
modified clutch which requires more preassure but offers a more positive
grip for racing or just horsing around activity. The most common of
these modifications are the double 'D' modification which uses an extra
diaphram spring on top of the stock one. The result is a substantial
increase in spring preassure. The other is the Barnett clutch kit. Both
these modifications can be reversed. This is easily checked. If it is a
Barnett clutch kit it will look like the one I have for sale on my web
site. If it is the double 'D' you will see two stacked diaphrams after
removing the clutch cover. If you have a new bike it's just a matter of
time before you build up your forearm muscles. At an excersize store get
one of thos grip excersizers. Cheers
