[QUOTE="wabill, post: 1416136, member: 20648"] When visiting dealerships I'm always on the lookout for bikes with a soft clutch pull. I've had to trade off too many great bikes because of the hand/clutch issue and my shrinking legs. My 2010 FJR was a problem with both issues. My current ride is a 2018 H-D Heritage which has a 10lb clutch pull. Seems to be close if not the same as the new FJRs. I've put after market levers on her which have a wider grip that spreads the load. I also have a Yamaha Bolt which a friend was nice enough to weld up a new clutch actuation lever for me. This brought the pull force down from 8 to 6.5 pounds. (Also used the fish scale method :) ) It seems that the lust for an FJR never leaves even when I owns some other great bikes. I've been eyeing a 2018, but the price will have to be right. Toyed with the idea of a GW with DCT but can't bring myself to do it after reading on the forums. It's all truth there, right? As for bikes with a light clutch pull the Kawa Z900's are much lighter than the 6.5 that I have on my Bolt. [/QUOTE]
