Easier Pull Clutch? 2013 CB1100

[Jeeves_imp]

Thanks, I have my lever dial set to 5 already, so as far down as it will go. My impression is that adjusts the position, but not the tension. I'm also looking to lower the tension a bit.

Given the tension problem, I'm not certain an RLET would help either. My issue is that the lever rests and pulls right in the pivot point of my first knuckle on my index finger, and is aggravating nerve damage I have there.

I HAVE loosened the whole master cylinder assembly, and moved it along the handlebar closer to the center of the bike. This has improved my natural resting position, but some tension relief would also be welcome...

Jeeves that is what the 2017 cb1100 uses in it's clutch basket, it has 3 springs instead of six in the 2013 models.

So removing two or even three out of six sounds plausible to me just compare it with the 2013 below;

It has a different mechanical system to make up for the lack of spring pressure but unless you take it racing you should be alright i think.

Thanks Max, now I want to run to a dealer to see what the pull tension is on a 2017!

Glad to hear you think it plausible, will continue my research. I'm not a terribly hard rider, going on 63 this year, so my thrills are occasional cranks on the throttle to get a horsepower goosing, and some average riding thru central Texas hill country twisties!!
