The opinion of anyone else not riding the bike should be second to your comfort. If you feel like the current clutch is too hard to pull for you and distracts you from riding safely. CHANGE IT!
I did the same with my handlebars, they were distracting me from enjoying my bike and being in controle. Maybe I would have gotten used to it, but mabye I would have had an accident before that. Who knows?
All that matters is how you feel on your bike!
Take care and enjoy your brand new bike!!
