clutch lever is stiff

[IOW vfr]

Hi just got my nc30 on the road and was riding it for a fair few hours yesterday and it felt like the clutch lever or cable was abit stiff as my hand started to really hurt.
Should i make sure the lever is moving smoothly? And could i need a new cable? Or could i just be weak and as i havent rode a bike for a couple of years i am just not used to it?

Mine was super heavy and that was because some PO had fitted 4 springs instead of 3. The old cable was shot so I got a new one, which helped but not much. Fixing the clutch was the solution, now it feels the same as my NC23 and other bikes I've ridden.

If you know someone else with a NC30 they can probably tell you whether it's anywhere near normal.

You need plenty of lube

Take cable off from lever and work in lots of oil

Okay thanks for the advice

I think ill check my cable and lube it up and see how that goes first :D
Just need to wait for some nice weather to pull it out and take a look but i'll let you know how it goes

Lubed the lever pivot point up and its much smoother now so all good for the moment :)
