    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Just had my 1100/1150 certified that I am giving to my dad and the bikes ready to go but the clutch pull is a bit hard for him. He won't be hard on it so what springs would be a direct fit and soften the pull?
 
Does it have aftermarket clutch springs? Aftermarket ones tend to be significantly stiffer. If you have those you can either swap out three of them (or all of them) for stock springs to soften the lever action somewhat.

Lube the cable? Get a new cable?

If it's harder to pull while running in gear than sitting still in neutral, it could be that the clutch basket or hub is worn.
 
A lot of the 1100's end up with stiffer springs to prevent clutch slipping, so be wary before replacing those springs. Start with the external parts like eil suggested. Good advice.
 
It's possible they are aftermarket springs. Guess I will pull the cover for a peek. Cable is reall good and lubed.
 
Gold springs? Put a set of stockers so she is nice and easy again
