Hello! Recently purchased our 4th Sammy ! Just replaced the clutch as it started becoming very stiff & would only engage at the very end of the pedal. We tried to adjust with no luck. So replaced clutch & new cable. But still a very stiff pedal & still  releasing at the end of the pedal. Any input would really be appreciated! thanks Ronnie

 Was there any wear or groves on the shaft for the release bearing??

 I did mine twice for the same thing then noticed the slight grove that was causing the bearing to walk a little side ways causing some serious drag (really stiff pedal). A speedy sleeve and some of that lube that comes with the kit and it was good as new.

When this thing hits 88 MPH your gonna see some serious sh!t (hahaha)

Thanks a bunch for the reply! Not sure about a groove? Will check into that! It seems the clutch &  brakepedal all operate on a single line up above the pedals. Figure something has to be messed up there... thanks again!!
