My new one (7803) is very tight compared to other models I have used. Is this typical? The shifter itself is fine pushing to the bigger ring. The right shifter works great!
Flush the shifter with a spray lube, ensure the inner wire is moving smoothly thru the housing and the under BB guide isclean. If all is OK, and the little lever makes he big lever 'travel', it may be a warranty issue-NOT uncommon.

I had this problem with a triple 105 lefts side shifter. I had just changed the cable and attached it to the wrong side of the fixing bolt on the derailer. This made the leverage of the mechanism weaker.
