Yeah as far as I know it hasn't in a while. I'm a new owner. But it's real rough , you can feel tightness kinda like a grinding noise.

my 250r clutch is super hard to pull in, got an asv lever and a new clutch cable and still its a beast to pull in. Iv gotten used to it my left arm can break bones by squeezing now.

mine was hard to pull as well and then I got a new cable and an asv lever. It's way better now but still stiff. I like it that way though.

you can get an ASV clutch lever on ebay from atv galaxy for about 80
some cable lube or wd 40 or s56 might help, pull the cable off so it can run down in an work it in . how is the pivot point bolt an bushing ? RTC makes some good levers that have different slots in theim for more leverage ratios where the cable end goes in the bottom of the lever. search neil's clutch mod too.

its quite easy, they come with instructions
i had the streamline billetanium hydraulic clutch, went back to cable clutch
it is smooth and is an easier pull but its problem prone
has alot of plastic pieces, its a pain to get bled, if anything breaks its expensive

Oh yeah I don't like the sound of that. I think I'll buy a new cable lube it up and get a set of asv's and see how that goes.

Try a new cable first. See how that works. Could be a cheap solution. Then go with an ASV lever. It made a dramatic difference when i got my lever and the lever is really comfortable to pull and like I said made it easier to pull.

yea when it works its great, much lighter pull and smooth
I still prefer the feel of a cable clutch, the streamline broke on me three different times (all of which i was miles in the woods with no clutch)
the actuator started bypassing (leaking internally), the lever snapped in half, the actuator unscrewed itself from the clutch arm
