No, same old springs. I'm wondering if it's just because I'm trying to pull
the clutch while standing up. I haven't ridden it that much before so I
might be mistaken thinking it's MORE difficult to pull.
It is pretty difficult to pull just the same. Everything slides smoothly
though and engages okay and such. I think I'll put it back together and if
it's a problem I'll take it apart again.
Thanks for the suggestions.

Hi Ted,
Did you put new springs in? If so, perhaps the new springs are causing
the additional pressure required? (although I wouldn't think it would be
that noticeable) Be sure to check everywhere the cable goes (including
at the lever) to be sure it's not catching on anything. If you haven't
already, but sure to lube the cable and all the pivot points. Is the
clutch disengaging/engaging properly?

I recently took my '74 eldo clutch apart, cleaned it up, replaced the transmission input gear and put everything back together. I attached the cable and the clutch lever seems significantly harder to pull. I couldn't figure out why, the only thing I can think is that maybe some of my springs weren't completely seated. Any ideas on what might cause this? Ted Ward |
