Any news on the clutch adjustment, ktp1598? I'm anxious to hear a solution because I have small hands.

I just got it adjusted the best I could so now I can find neutral fairly easily. I only have about 250 miles on it so I'm still breaking everything in. I'll get to the dealer soon though and see if they can do a better job of adjusting it. Might look for a set of adjustable levers. I'll let you know if I find something.

Find a solution to moving the friction zone closer to the bar?

I just had my 1000 mile service done, and not my clutch is horrible. Feels like it grabs and sticks. I'm giving it a chance to stretch somewhat before I take it back in.

What are the procedures for clutch adjustment?

I have been looking for that information. Looks like I am going to order a service manual for the Street.

The clutch adjustment is similar to most Japanese bikes. I looked it up for a Shadow 750 but it's similar for most other non Harley non hydraulic clutches. I think mine is about as good as its going to get. Although the engagement is still to far out, neutral seems easier to find now. I'd hate for the dealer to adjust it and make it worse. It's acceptable.
