I have R6C 14" apes and they came with the Burly cable kit. I have no crazy bends either and I found the clutch cable to require a little more effort after the install. It did go away and I did not lube anything. I would say now it's back to normal. Put the bars on last summer. It did not take a year to return to "normal" ( what I think was normal for my ride). But it should loosen up over time and become a little more like what you're used to.

I to have the R6C bars with the burly kit and my clutch was stiff also. I have heard this from a few people. Where your cables a little to long for the zbars?
