Question Clutch Question...

I was wondering what can I do to stiff up my clutch a bit on a 84 GS? My clutch work fine but I feel is to soft for my taste.

The only "right" way to increase the clutch feedback would be to change the pressure plate. Stage 2 or 3 plates offer a higher clamping pressure which in turn results in a harder pedal. Its a lot of trouble for a stiffer pedal and they can also take some getting used to because they can change or even eliminate your abliity to "feather" the clutch.

I wish they offered a version for the SA 12A. They only list one for the 83-85 12A. Would that work on my 80 12A ? Sorry for the thread hijack.
