Stiff clutch? Slipping or dragging? Check this bearing!

Located inside your sprocket cover and attached to the clutch cable.


Mine was beyond toast.


These belong elsewhere.

Hey Mike- been there and picked up the bearings 
Its a regular post by the gsxr4 guys and must be a weak point.

I find my clutch is stiff also. I had my transmission rebuilt over the winter and the tech said the clutch was new. I have no issues with the clutch slipping or dragging.

I wonder if this is causing my stiff clutch?

I'm going to try lubing my cable first

Questions:
When I remove the sprocket cover, will I see whats in pic#1?

How much is it to fix this (parts n labour)?

I think the bearing was $50-80 and it's 0.5-1 hour of labour.

If you take the cover off, you have to remove the clutch cable and a couple screws to get at the bearing. Not too difficult if the screws aren't stuck (I needed an impact driver for mine). And you'll have to readjust your clutch as per the manual.
