Well most clutches are supposed to be much stiffer.

It's possible that you could have a problem with your hydraulics...but no one can tell you for sure over the internet with little information.

Is your clutch fluid low? Did you install a new throw out bearing with the clutch? Could also be in the fork

sorry about the little detail. it feels like my floor mats bound up under it , but the floor mats no where near it.

as far as fluid the fluids full, yes there is a new throw out bearing and the fork doesnt seem bad because ive drove a buddys M6 ws6 with a bad fork and it feels nothing like it...
