[QUOTE="Martin Cole, post: 690062, member: 47387"] A new cable may be answer. I've spent hours oiling cables for little improvement - so it could just be that. Also, if the previous owner has lost the spacer that fits between the cltch and the actuator, it sets the arm further round than it should be and decreases the leverage - making it harder to pull. KX60 clutch baskets also tend to notch-up fairly quickly. The best course of action is to replace the basket and plates, maybe even the centre if that is notched too. If you don't mind a little tedious work, both the basket and the centre drum can be filed a bit to ease the action. Don't repeat this process too often though as it tends to create too much movement for the plates when the clutch is dropped home. The edges of the plate then slap the faces pretty hard and increase the wear rate substantially. A lot of harsh clutch use could then result in cracked plates. I've never seen this yet on a KX60, probably because the clutch runs in oil, but I have seen on TZ350 Yamahas when I raced on tarmac circuits back in the 70s/80s. These clutches were exposed and ran dry! [/QUOTE]
