Sore wrist - Need hydraulic clutch help

**Macstar** · 28th May 2007, 15:30

Hey guys + girls

I recently added some handle bar risers to my Suzuki RF 900 and my left wrist is killing me on rides over an hour from pulling the clutch in and out (Persumably from a change in ergonomics). It's a hydraulic clutch but very firm and was bled about 4 months ago - can't tell if its stiffened up much since then...? Who knows whether there's any simple way of adjusting the clutch to make it easier to pull in? I saw these gadgets for sale in the USA, anyone tried one before?

As always: Cheers for your help!

Suggest you make sure that your levers have been reset to compensate for the changed bar position. They may need to be angled further down (or up).

Cheaper option than more kit if that's all that's needed.

Make sure the clutch lever is properly adjusted, that the pivot is well lubed, etc. Apart from that, you may be able to substitute a master cylinder from another bike that has a different diameter. (I can't remember, but I think a smaller diameter means more leverage).

Another option is don't use the clutch for changes.
