Default stock clutch=light clutch pedal?

i have an 01' gsr with about 20,000 miles on it...for some reason my clutch pedal seems really light...i was wondering if this was normal? i took it to the dealership and ask them about it and they said that it could be that my clutch was worn down and left it at that..dealerships suck ...thanks

Either your are very used to cable clutch, or your clutch disk has not worn very much. My clutch got heavier as it wore. After I replaced my clutch, my pedal was lighter than my gas pedal.

There is also a clutch assist spring that helps your foot push the pedal down--that makes it feel a little lighter. If you ever bleed your clutch you can tell since the pedal pulls itself to the floor. Maybe try taking it out if you want a stiffer-feeling pedal. it doesn't really bother me, I only have to move the pedal ~2 inches to shift...

my gsr is at 19.3K miles now and the clutch feel has been consistent since day one...which is a bit light IMO. i wouldn't mind a slightly heavier clutch pedal or one that gives a little more feedback.

on a side note, i drove an e46 bimmers a few months back and feel that the bimmer clutch was on par in terms of pressure required, but the e46 has hella long clutch pedal travel compared to the teg...at least 3 inches more of travel.
