Naa, not yet. Took things apart and lubed them up a little to see if that helps. The weather has sucked here so I have not been out on it much.

Well I have the DogVet Mod myself and it has served me well.
Speaking of the new changes that BD made on the clutch, if I read his response right, the newer models dropped from 12 plates/disc to 9!!! If that is so, is every thing basically the same for that was one of the BD selling points when I bought mine (higher disc for more capabilities, etc). Did the change anything else such as diameter, friction surface, contact area, material type (kelvar, sintered bronze, etc.).
Just curious but it would seem if they just decreased the amount of plates and disc they have actually lessen the capabilities of such.
Still doing good on the original 05 by the way.

Another round please
It may be just me, but its never been a issue with me pulling in the clutch. I don't see why its a big deal to need a easier clutch. Every time at a light, it goes in neutral. No big deal. Maybe a centrifugal clutch(or a hondamatic clutch) is in order for the guys with weak hands. :bang: :roll: :roll: :2thumbs: 
Just having fun here, nothing personal.

Ok, it's anytime between 3:30pm and 6:30pm on any weekday on Interstate 93 going north through Boston on my way home from work. Neutral is not an option.

Its cool man. I got mine because about 2 years ago I went to a rally/bike weekend. It took us about 2 1/2 hours to go 8 miles. Everytime we stopped we would only be stopped for about 5-10 seconds, its kinda hard for the arm to rest. In my opinion its a well spent $450. Feels just like a hydraulic clutch now.
Also...if your bike is an 07 you may already have the easy pull clutch. I'm pretty sure they started putting them in in 07 at some point.

When I went to Laconia in '06, i was getting rediculous forearm pump. I ended up shutting it off and managing to roll down small hills and whatnot.
I have an '06, not sure if it an "easy pull" or not.

I have no problem puling the clutch in, just sitting in stop and go traffic for long periods of time, which I do occassionally, definately gives you some serious forearm pump.

I just had a soft pull clutch installed on my bike at Strokers. They charged 381.00. It is very much easier to pull and so far so good otherwise. I sure hated to change out perfectly good plates but my aging wrist just can't hold up like they used to. I was riding until my wrist couldn't take it anymore and then going home. Now it feels like i could go until my ass gets sore

I don't think it's the stop light traffic, at least not for me. My issue came from spend 40 minutes trying to get back to my camp site and trying to get through shitty golf cart traffic. I had to constantly fuck with the clutch avoiding idiots and weave through 2 mph traffic.It may be just me, but its never been a issue with me pulling in the clutch.
