    Clutch and brake lever have some wiggle?

    Hello, New rider and owner of a 05 FZ6. Things have been great so far but noticed some wiggle (mainly up and down) in my clutch and brake lever. I don't see anything I can tighten on the clutch side, the brake looks like it will fit an allen wrench up top but unsure. Any ideas?

    Clutch "Sproing" Noise

    I realize this isn't Fizzer related, but I'm trying to discern a quirk I noticed this morning on my 600F4i.

    Stiff clutch

    Just got my 04 fz6 a few weeks ago and the clutch lever is super stiff on it. I haven't had this issue with any of my other bikes so never needed to address it. Does anyone else have experience with this problem or have any advice on how to soften the pull on my clutch? Thanks.
