Captmoto, I must admit that my hands are not that strong anymore after so many years of mouse driving in front of the computer. However, I am riding another bike which has a much lighter clutch. After the XT, I can tell you the other bike, which is a Honda, got even lighter which is an indication my hand growing stronger. Still I found the XT clutch intolerable. Besides there ara the hydraulic clutches on the market claiming a 20% increase in the force you apply to the lever so there must be a demand for this. My solution is offering a 50 % increase in the force you need to apply or 33 % less demand for force, ie instead of applying a 5kg force you only need 3.3 kgs.
