the stiff rear is usually the spring being seized.
its common and often results in the fairing bracket breaking just below the instruments.( transmitted forces and cyclic loading)
remove the old rotary and check the movement of the rear.
A bitubo is the fix for this
or a S/H spring on a stick (SOAS) . soak this in a bucket of oil before installing it.
and a R1 shock or similar. I( I can supply a chinese shock the right length )
check the pivots and bearings too cos these can dry out and rust.
clutch
may have a welded centre ( good)
may have aftermarket springs (hmmmm!)
may have been shimmed by someone to cure slipping ( bad )
the lever can be a problem if its aftermarket ( heavy action)
the cable can be old ( heavy)
the worm can be rooted or missing balls ( heavy )
SO
strip it all out.
weld the centre ( exchange Sam or me )
replace the cable .
replace the worm ( cheap !)
install std springs and welded centre.
5 spring clutches do NOT slip when set up properly.
