Sudden change in clutch action

[Jamieg285]

The clutch action is noticeably lighter today and I've no idea why.  It feels like I'd expect a clutch on a new bike to feel, I can operate it with one finger now.  The slack and bite points are the same as they were before and driveability/useability seem unaffected too.

Last week I rode home in the snow.  Yesterday I gave the bike a clean, but only a general wash down and didn't pay any particular attention to the clutch lever and haven't lubricated it.


Any ideas what's going on - it's unnerving.  I don't like it when things suddenly change what they are doing.
