I just installed a clutchmasters stage 3 and lightened flywheel and my clutch pedal feels very soft. Is the pedal supposed to be stiffer, cause it is softer then my stock clutch. what do you guys think it is? should i bleed the clutch or replace the slave cylinder? thanks

Thanks man. I bleed the slave cylinder and the damper box but it still feels very soft. I even replaced the slave cylinder, do u think I have to wait for the clutch to be broken in?

Well the important thing is, does the clutch engage? Does it slip when engaged? Does the slave cylinder fully extend? Can you move the fork at all with your bare hands?

Information like that would be helpful in helping you.

you can remove the damper box. its very easy (do a quick search), that may help make it a little stiffer.

i just instaled a stage 3 6 puck clutch pressure plate and flywheel on mine, new slav and master bleed serveral times it is still soft and if you push the clutch in and rev it up it makes a slight rubbing grinding whine like it isnt fully disengaged. but fork is fully extended, adjustment is all the way out on master, cant find the problem
