My friend rides a ninja 650r and cant even pull my lever all the way back. Stiffer than my previous bikes as well.

SD does NOT have a EASY pull.
friend has a BMW 800 - he walked up to my bike when i got it to pull the clutch in and SCREAMED ROFLMAO --- whimp !!!
i don't have a problem with it ....

As you will know Pascal's principle underpins all of this stuff - this is where Physics becomes interesting
(that's a right sided stroke) or any number of factors ... Compare with somebody else's SD not with other brands.
Good luck.

I think the only time I pull my SD clutch all the way in is at stop.
I would not call my clutch a hard pull.
Maybe it time for others to change fluids and lube pivot points?

Mine is harder than other bikes.
I see it as yet another deterrent to keep the weak/wussy away from the Hooligan!

Try an old Norton or Harley, SD pull is easy

Could be dirty fluid or air in the line. After changing my fluid to the recommended Magura blood, clutch pull is lighter and it engages much earlier so that I don't have to pull it all the way in. I think clutch engagement was fixed by getting the air out of the line. It's much lighter than a BMW K1200r. My friend upgraded from Ninja 650 to K1200r and thought his clutch was broken because it was so hard to pull. I tried it as well, and it is heavier than the SD.

Limp wristed folk need only to mince down to their local HM Quickshifter retailer and half their problems will be solved.

Never noticed the clutch on mine so it must be ok.....
I would clean and grease the lever pivot and check the angle you have your levers set, having the lever too high will cause wrist pump,
If that dont help check your clutch pushrod is not bent or clogged up with chain lube and road cack

I`ll have some....... no difference at all apart from slightly increasing the fluid capacity of the system

Guess we don't have to worry about offending you RocketChick.
Got one for ya. I know a guy, who back in th 70's /80's lived with 2 gals. Some young smart ass guy asked the gals hows that working out and whats that all about.
One of the gals piped up with out missing a beat, "She's right handed, I am left handed". (pun intended)
