Default throttle adjustment

Is there anyway to adjust the hydraulic clutch lever on my 2015 FLHTK? the "friction" zone doesn't suit me very well and it seems I'm always dragging it in 1st gear or ready to pop the clutch.
TIA

You cannot adjust a hydraulic clutch. You adjust you.

It's not an adjustment at all, but make sure you keep your fluid changed in the clutch system, every 2 years at a minimum, just like brake system. Saturated fluid will be spongy and may not give you the correct feel. Otherwise, what he said, you have to adjust you.

They make adjustable levers that might help, or you could get a Muller 120-50 hydraulic clutch slave that changes the friction zone and the pull (lighter).
