My wife could only press it down with two feet.
If you took out the assist spring as required with the Tick, it will make disengagement a lot stiffer. Our clutches only require an 8% increase in pedal effort, so it should not leave you walking in a circle.

Dman,

Was thinking about going to a Monster Stage 2. Do you think it's possible your installer had some grease contamination somewhere?
