I use the same sticky grease as I use for my clutch gears. Indeed it's synthetic bearing grease with my magic takifier. When I got my engine the cam/lever point didn't have any lube!

I think i solved the problem...and this was EASY.

I had bought the upgrade clutch lever from Dax - very nice, BTW, solid.

It is all about leverage and lever placement...I put it way too close to the hand grip. Moving about 2 inches away changed the entire game. I can pull it once again with 2 fingers, which frees up 2 other fingers for the front brakes.

I will still do the pulley mod, but I did want to mention what I did to help things out.
