Only in the 88+ degree humid temps lately, I have noticed my clutch lever when pulled in and let go it creaks when squeezed and let go.  Anybody else notice this in the heat driving their bike and any remedies for it?  I don't recall it ever doing it say under 85 degrees out.  Boy, these humid temps approaching 90 degrees and dewpoints in the mid 60's certainly don't make it much fun riding with a helmet on and all that heat coming off the Valk's engine.  If it wasn't for shorts and front hwy. pegs to get my legs away from that engine, I couldn't bear the heat.   tongue tongue

Have you tried greasing the bushing in the lever?  Just remove it, and use a small amount of grease.  See if it has any slop too.

Replace if it does.
