Hi guys so I'm currently saving to have my clutch done as the release bearing is rattling on mine and I want it done asap.
Apart from the clutch kit itself, is there anything else I should be changing at the same time? Clutch cable maybe?
Thanks

I'd definitely say clutch cable, just make sure to put some sort of lube down the cable first, should keep it nice and free for a bit longer

I've heard of some kinda bushes that make the pedal lighter? I find it almost impossible move off without a lot of throttle

that'd be your clutch needing replacing then! lol!
grease up the clutch arm bushes and put a nice new light clutch in with a smooth new cable and it will be sorted!
