Which hand do you jack-off with...?? Just switch hit a few times... XD

Seriously - tendonitis is when the tendons are all knotted up & can't release so best thing is to see a Dr. or Phys Therapist. I've had it on/off for the past 15yrs (computer/typing) and a combo of wrist supports, physical therapy/exercise + ice massage have kept things loose. Gotta get treatment!!!

Default Update: 2 steps to a lighter clutch pull.

I decided to measure the amount of pressure required to pull the clutch. I used a digital fish scale and repeated each measurement 5 times.

As is: 11.5#

Then I lubed the clutch cable and re measured : 10.5#

Next I installed the Burley easy pull kit.

the final result is 6# of force needed to pull the clutch lever in.

The difference is noticable.

That sounds like a whopping improvement.
