yes sir, new clutch cable, with graphite all over it... should make it way easier.. the clutch cables tend to kink up on gixxers.. they just get overly twisted sometimes..

waaa la

there's nothing to fix really, you just may have to make some changes with you clutch. graphite is a very big help, also lighter springs will make the pull easier, but I don't recommend that because your clutch could wear out faster. A good idea is go with the graphite lube, make sure your cable is adjusted right and an MSR raptor clutch lever and perch will help also, it has 3 adjustment levels giving you up to a 40 percent easier pull. that helps alot for one finger pulls. it has a rubber face on the lever which I just pull off. but that's up to you. good luck
