Hi guys,
I'm hoping someone could give me a little guidance on a issue I'm having. Lately the feel on my clutch has been very resistant. By that I mean taking a lot of force to pull. I released the clutch cable on both ends and pulled it both ways through and back again. It's pretty fluid; the cable has less than 5,000 miles on it. This lead me to notice a bit of resistance in the axle pull lever on the clutch itself. When the lever is pulled inward towards the bike everything is fine, but when it is pushed and goes back the other way it gets hung up for just a second. It's like a little click and resistance as it passes. Could this be contributing to the rough clutch pull? Or is it the clutch itself? It doesn't make sense to me because it only catches on release. My clutch lever is well oiled, the cable is fine, what else could it be?
Here is a video of what I am talking about. Does anyone else have this little 'catch' or is it just me?
