    Clutch lever is hard to pull.

    Might be worth doing some maintenance first (if you've not already done so). After you have drained, flushed and bled the hydraulics, then make...

    Fork disassemble advice...

    I agree with OOTV on the above. If you are disassembling the fork for a refresh then replacing the bushings would make sense.

    VFR750 ( 1994-1997 ) Full front end upgrade... ?

    Overheating after 10minute of ride time

    Does sound like you really need a new thermostat to me. That should be opening at 78C and allowing hot coolant to the radiators. Maybe a dumb...

    Overheating after 10minute of ride time

    Overheating after 10minute of ride time

    Lint's suggestion about burping the cooling system is a good starting point. If that doesn't help then I think you've got a dodgy radiator cap...
