Default Hard Clutch Pull

I have a 250EC that suddenly started having a much harder clutch pull. I changed the fluid a couple of times to try different fluids (currently 2.5 wt fork oil), but none of the fluids seemed to make any difference.

I tried some springs a friend had that were about the same thickness, but slightly shorter. Laying on the side with the cover off, if felt very easy and I thought I had solved the problem. However, when I stood it back up with the cover on, it was just as hard as before.

That being said, I did change the oil to 20-50 with hot weather coming and I did put a full quart in (as instructed). I'm thinking that either the thicker oil and/or the amount of oil is the key since the pull was super soft laying on its side with no oil in the clutches. I think I'll try 5-30 oil and maybe 750 ml.

Could the thicker oil and full quart actually cause a harder pull. I've never noticed it before, but it sure looks like that is the issue.

Comments? Thanks!

Forget about the oil issue for now, your problem is somewhere else

You probably have a master/slave cy.l issue. Rebuild the master, kit is cheap. Slave is just an o-ring.
