New clutch for small hands

[boo68]

I have read in the posts that the FZ's clutch is harder than your average clutch.. I have small hands and have a hard time easing off the clutch because it just kind of snaps out of my hands.. if there are any suggestions on how to soften up the spring or if there is a clutch I can install I would love to hear about it...thanks

Option B. Stronger hands.
Grip Master Hand Strengthener from REI.com

I'm not kidding, my ex used one of these because she was rock climbing, and suddenly the clutch was no longer an issue.

I'd say that Pazzo's are just about the "cheapest" nice aftermarket levers on the market right now.
Why Yamaha didn't make the clutch lever adjustable like the brake lever is beyond me.
You could dial in more freeplay in the clutch cable to get it closer to the grip, but not too much or your clutch won't disengage properly.
Also, LUBE THE CABLE. It makes a huge difference to the effort required to pull in the lever. Get one of the aerosol can pressure lube kits, they work like a hot damn.

Like OneTrack said, lube cable! when I bought my bike is was about 9 months of sitting in a crate and the cable was stiff, the lube really helped.

+1 on the Pazzos
