Default proper clutch lever pressure

My clutch lever seems a little tight ('97 cbr 600 F3). Doesn't bother me too much on short rides, but after a full day my forearm and hand are quite tired. I've tried a few other bikes (which usually have adustable lever kits) and they feel much 'softer' and easier to squeeze.

Any easy way to adjust this? or should I look into a kit?

cheers

Did you just get this bike? If so, It might have an aftermarket clutch setup with stiffer springs.

I know after putting in my dp clutch my lever is very very hard, but I like it. Its also a race bike to lol.

my clutch is seriously loose,
my fingers can reach the clutch fine, but with it tightened all the way up my hands got seriously tired of stretching out to reach it and let it go everytime.
call me lazy, but i threw in another nickel's distance and i don't have to move my fingers as much. it didn't make the clutch change all that much it just stopped my hands from cramping.
