I can barely make sense of this post without puctuation, bad spelling, no caps. Raptor makes a short lever that has a setting to reduce clutch pull by 325%.

A KX is shorter too but you will need to dremel the pivot base to make it fit right. Magura makes a hydraulic clutch. Not sure what you mean when you say it's a bitch to pull it in. If you have trouble pulling in a long lever, you won't find a short one easier. In fact, if you are having trouble pulling in the clutch at all, either you have clutch problems, a cable binding or need a quad with automatic. KDX's are known as girls bikes. I wouldn't be too quick to announce that I couldn't handle the clutch.

From another Thread, someone was observing only seeing KTM's at races except the occasional KDX ridden by a female. Also, most KTM riders call KDX's girl bikes.

You can also change your clutch perch to any brand. So find a lever you like and by the entire clutch perch and lever assembly.

HUH?

The KDX clutch lever should not be any harder to pull than most bikes. You can cut the lever down to the length you like. If you want the ball on the end, you can weld it back on, or have somebody do it. It shouldn't cost much, maybe ten bucks.

If your hands are large and strong, you should be using only one finger to operate your clutch. That leaves the other three to hold on to the bars.
