    Exactly that. He said the teflon inside the outer cable will swell up. At the time I wanted to use cable lube. Especially for motorcycles. How did you get grease inside the cable?

    in all honesty an XB with the stock diaphragm clutch, amsoil in the trans/primary, a well lubed and properly adjusted clutch cable, and a factory perch/lever that is lubed and adjusted properly has a very light and nice clutch lever pull. no need for a muller IMO.

    So, I just replaced my cable with a new one, and put new OEM levers on my bike, running Formula +, and John is right, I can pretty much 2 finger this clutch lever. I guess all of that little bits of friction add up.

    I've had pretty good luck running Formula + in my bikes, and I may have to try out AMSOIL. Maybe one day I can prove John wrong (but probably not!)

    lunaticfringe = spot on.

    you summed it all up aaron. applicable to any cable operated cycle clutch. between the perch/lever....the cable...the actuating mechanism...and the pressure plate or spring....friction in ever increasing tiny increments all adds up. an XB with all the items checked/lubed/adjusted in the order that i mentioned always results when properly performed in a light lever pull with nice, smooth consistent engagement. a major player in the entire episode is the diaphragm clutch pressure spring. it's a very nice piece.

    Its funny, as I can swear I can actually feel the "wave" as the diaphragm spring flexes.

    Do you know if there is a suitable replacement bushing for the clutch lever pivot? It doesnt show one in the HD/Buell books, but I'd imagine that bushing may be available for some other brand who uses a lever from the same factory? My current bike had a set of CRG levers and the clutch pivot hole is all ovalled out. I think I may have found a nylon bushing to retrofit into alloy to steel pivot pin interface. If longevity of the nylon is poor, the upside is that they are inexpensive and easy to source, until I can find something else that could work.

    I ponied up and bought a set of OEM black levers from Lance for now.
