Anything else to make the clutch easier to pull?

I went out and bought a raptor clutch bar/perch, and I put it on, everyone said it would make it easier. Maybe I installed that **** wrong? I dunno, I saw how on the perch, the part that holds the cable in, it can move forward and backwards, and that there was 3 slots to put the clutch cable in...I also bought the short handle one, not sure if there is a longer one.

Do those settings matter at all?


It did help a little bit compared to the old one, but not much, anything else I can do to make that **** pull easier? Still takes me 2 fingers, and I feel more comfortable learning standups with just 1 finger on the clutch.

So anything at all, I can do to make that **** easier for me?

Thanks.

make sure your cable is well lubricated if it's not a hydraulic clutch.
Mine was hard to pull, then I lubed that **** and it works smooth as hell

one other thing i just thought of, cut the factory zipties off the clutch cable and put it on the outside of the frame, play with dif mounting points for the zipties, it makes a big dif how straight ur cable is

Bottom meaning, closest to the front of the bike? Or closest one to me? Can go either way, when ya lookin at it.
