Need lighter pull on clutch, BIG DOG BIKE

My buddy has a Big Dog, and complains of a hard to pull clutch. I've lubed the pivots and cable. Is there anything available for this bike to reduce clutch pull? This unit runs a Baker 6 spd, right side drive. Thanks.

Get in touch w/Barnett, they have a reduced effort clutch cable (40%) less.. See if they make one for that bike..

Most all of the clutch manufactures offer different strength springs BDL,Rivera, ect,I don't know why the bike builders think it needs to be set up using that kind of pressure.Just see what brand clutch Big Dog used in that bike they change suppliers from time to time. Lighten up on the clutch spring

Big Dog sells an easy pull clutch upgrade, which definitely reduces the effort required to pull the clutch.

I guess a Big Dog can compensate for a small weaner, but can't compensate for small forearms, LOL. Tell him to try some hammer curls...
