02 Warrior clutch lever very very hard to pull!
 

The clutch lever on my 02 warrior is extremely hard to pull. It takes a lot of hand effort to pull that sucker. My dad's got a yamaha bike, a tt225 and it's a night and day difference. His feels smooth and linear almost like a hydraulic clutch, mine's so hard to pull, even a little pull, that it makes shifting during trail riding and uncomfortable chore.

I did notice the spring under the clutch lever on the outside of the transmission case is broken. Was this a helper spring to make the clutch easier to pull?

I also heard something about a mod to use a raptor clutch cable, I'll do anything to make this easier...

mine used to be hard and then i screwed in the little adjustment on the lever. i screwed it in, and it actually made my clutch work a little better which surprised and confused me at the same time.

yea the pull on warriors is pretty hard, it doesnt bother me that much, im used to riding older dirtbikes and there clutch pull is hard also, the raptor 350 clutch perch mod is well worth it, its wayyyy easier to pull and more comfortable.

I don't know what kind of bikes you've ridden, but I've ridden a 78 yammy 250 dirt bike which my dad bought new, a 84 honda 250 dirt bike, a 92 honda 225 dual purpose and a 99 kawi 125 2-stroke and they all had normal clutch lever pull compared to this.

Anyway, back to the matter at hand, can you tell me what's involved with this mod? Someone have a link to it? Am I changing the clutch lever itself or just the mount? The cable as well???

It could be your clutch basket is wore it make it hard to pull in the clutch leaver

Worn in what way? Isn't the clutch basket just a metal cup that holds the clutch discs? Forgive me, I'm a longtime car gearhead but a realitive noob to working on atv's.

Wow, I just did this mod this weekend and I am impressed. Week before last we got a little snow and I decided to go out and play in it. After about 5 donuts and a ride up the road and back my clutch cable busted up by the handle. I had read about this mod before but didn't really think much about it. Well I decided since I was going to have to replace the cable anyway I might as well try this mod off of the Raptor. I was pretty skeptical since it really isn't much different but I figured it was worth a try and other people talked like it really made a big difference. Well I was shocked when I finally got the parts and the opportunity to put it together. I don't know if my particular clutch cable was just that bad but it made a huge difference. I wish now that I would have done this earlier. 40 bucks shipped was well worth it.
