    Hard Clutch??

    Hi,
    The Clutch on GS1000G Is really stiff,I have check and cleaned the cable and that is fine,made sure there are no tight bends any where.So oviously the problem lies within the clutch it self :? ,What causes a clutch to go hard,when it isnt the Cable What do I look for
    all and any advice is appreciated

    Have the friction plate springs been changed? I bought Barnett springs once to replace my old ones and they were way to friggin stiff.

      I will never make that mistake again!!!

      there is a bearing in the top of the clutch cover that the clutch actuation shaft goes through, if it has siezed it will make the clutch hard.
