My 2000 1200 was so stiff it took both hands to pull in . I took it to my local dealer aand they installed a White Brothers clutch adjustor.( internal to transmission)It works beautifully and I can now hold the clutch in all day long. There is also an external clutch adjustor from a company called AMP Research that sellls for less than 100 that friends use on thier 883 and love.
