Hi everyone,
Odd question hope someone can help.

Problem I have is i can only work a clutch lever with my little finger (!) as I don't have the other three (sure they are round 'ere somewhere). Anyway been riding a 125 with an easy clutch from Demon Tweeks which is fine for cable systems.
Doing my DAS next week and so sure I'm going to pass I've gone out and bought a Triumph Tiger 900 that has a hydraulic clutch. Ive bought adjustable levers for it which brings it back a bit but its bleedin heavy!

So (finally) my question is:
Can you use lighter DOT fluid to lighten the action?
Fit a larger reservoir?
Fit shims to bring the lever back further?


Any suggestions would be helpful, why I bought such a big bike being a shortarse baffles even me, but Ive lifted the forks a bit through the yokes and dropped the rear so I can tipitoe at the lights!

Cheers
