I've also seen some chatter of air bleed into the system. I've not bled mine so I'm not sure if this is an issue or not. Any comments other than "more self pleasure with the left hand" would be greatfully received

Fitted an Oberon to mine as standard too heavy for aging hands has obviously made the pull slightly easier but so far as I know nothing further can be done to make it lighter, unlike my MS1000 which has been running only 4 clutch springs for years with no problems!
