    stiff 1150 clutch

    I bought an 1150 from california. the previous owner told me the clutch needed to be changed. when i got the bike from the freight company, i noticed the cluitch was VERY stiff.

    we mic'd the clutch plates and put the new clutch in... and it is still stiff.

    what gives?


    I dont think its the springs. We changed springs and it didnt do aanything./

    Did you use OEM springs ??. Sometime a bad cable can do it too.

      Did you check the clutch basket?

      Some aftermarket clutches tend to wear grooves in the basket, making it hard for the clutch plates to slide

      Also, did you check the metal plates for flatness on a piece of glass?
