ts185 difficult clutch
 

After a day off riding my 72 ts185 my left hand is throbbing. The clutch requires extreme strain to use. Is this normal for the ts? My only experience is with much newer bikes, 92 yz250 and it works much easier then the TS...

Any advice?

Thanks,
Gil

Hi guys. There was enough TS-specific posts on this website to make it worth starting a TS/TM/TC forum here:

There's a number of VERY experienced people turned up already.

Sounds like clutch cable to me too. Watch where it routes around the steering head, as it's very easy to crush the outer at full lock, on the steering stops. This will make the inner very hard to pull.
