ST SM clutch pull
When I was at the local dealership looking at a 2014 ST SM5, I noticed that the clutch pull was very stiff. Is this normal, or does it have a vacuum assisted clutch than would be noticeably lighter in pull with the engine running? (I didn't think to ask the question at the time.) I have seen a thread for the F3 SM where they've had to retrofit a kit to make the clutch pull lighter - if needed, is this kit also available for the ST?

They do....
They do have the clutch assist vaccum and once the engine is started it becomes lighter. As you ryde it is less but then I don't use the clutch to up-shift only on the down and stop and go traffic... you can also adjust the pull

Thanks for the clarification on the vacuum assist. I have arthritis in my hands, so a relatively light clutch pull is important. I'll see if I can get a test ride to see what it's like.
