Default Clutch cable

Well, I did a handle bar install about a month ago and I thought my clutch lever tension was good until I tried my buddies clutch lever, I squeezed the lever and it felt real easy going in, I tried mine and dam it take more or it feels like its alittle harder. Anybody know what could be the problem or anybody encounter this after a bar install?

check the adjustment, check the route of the cable, make sure it's not binding.

Be Safe JIM

Did you replace the cable with a longer one? Maybe that's the way it works. If not, like was mentioned, check for tight bends. You don't want that. Good luck.
