1150 Clutch lever "heaviness"

[Sweaty Sock]

The clutch on my bike works fine. In fact the gear change is pretty good for a 1150.
Perhaps because I've got this persistent tennis/golfer's elbow I am finding the clutch a bit heavy. Compared with my old VFR it is heavy.
Wondering if this is common as a couple of folk have told me, and if there's something I can do to lighten it? Due a fluid change, not that it ought to make much difference. Should I venture into the actuating rod unit and grease it up?

Have you lubed the pivot bolt? I replaced the pivot due to wear and play but I don't recall it leading to heavier action.
I hope your problem isn't at the other end.

Will give it a go, you never want a problem at "the other end"
