just bought my 09 raider S, and the clutch is super stiff. I don't have super strong forearm, but after 5 min rding in traffic my whole left hand and forearm is on fire. What could be the problem? Also my friction zone is less than 5mm travel. Should I change the clutch or should I look into master cylinder? TY

Hey there Farshi - i see this is an older post - have you learned anything about this? I have this issue too with my 2010, it’s always been difficult, but seems to be getting worse (and may have been part of my developing carpel tunnel on that hand - argh!). Since I’m also having an issue with the bike stopping when I let out the clutch, I think I’m having a relay issue too. I’m going to replace the relay, myself, then, hopefully I’ll be able to get the bike to the shop next week. I’ll ask them if there are ways of making it easier to pull and come back with any news.
