clutch pull

ok, so i just hot a new clutch basket and inner hub and i also got a new clutch kit. but it is still hard to pull the clutch lever. i used to able to use 1 finger to pull it but now i have to use 2 and even then it is still hard. the cable is routed correctly and is only about 4 months old and with only about 2 months of riding since my bike was broken for 2 months. i dont know what the problem is and it is really starting to annoy me

Buy a cable luber, for $10 and purge it. I would suspect the cable.

+1 on the lube.
just get a can of white lithium grease and shoot it down the cable's black cover, aim it towards the inside, where it exits for the clutch lever.

The luber juice is good but 6 in 1 is very good as well.

maybe it will get better after its broke in ??? i usually just take off the little cover where the cable goes around and down to the tube, and spray some chain lube in there, for some reason that sometimes helps with bog too, i cant figure it out.

Have you seen a cable lubing unit TJ? They are the finest creation in the world. It seals to you cable and then you blast lubricant into it and it purges out the other end of the cable.
