Many people really don't know how to explain the powerband is and/or feel and you just did perfectly. It's not smooth, it's consistency and control at different stages of powerband that HITLIS OFFERS better than stock for woods riding.

I was chasing the same performance like you. I almost installed the Hitlis but decided to sell it for a new Beta 300 rr. Real hydraulic clutch is nice

I don't miss the hydraulic clutch. I had a Beta 300 Race Edition before this and the cable is just as good. I haven't really seen the need for the hydraulic clutch anywhere. With the Hitlis this is the best bike I've owned.

@@AdamCoffey828 I did some research and in 2021 yamaha changed the clutch lever and went to a 29mm clutch ratio. Making the clutch pull harder and a smaller friction zone. My 2016 came with a 27mm lever and I modified it down to 25.5mm. That lightens the clutch pull considerably and makes the friction zone bigger. If you had that generation this would explain your troubles. Just a drill bit and you could have had a sweet clutch.
