Default Oberon Adjustable Clutch Lever Setting 1 Works

After changing grips to the HD ones shaped like a coke bottle, the Oberon Adjustable Clutch Lever works on 1 setting one. Like most of y0u before 3 was as low as I could go and still start in gear.

Interesting, I got the same grips on my RK and on setting 2 on the Oberon it won't start in gear. It doesn't matter as much for me, though, as I never start it in gear anyway

I have always preferred those type grips. While my front end was being swapped out I told them to put them on. I was not even thinking and how it would effect the lever.

I believe on the newer bikes you also have to have the brake applied to start the bike in gear with the clutch disengaged.

Ever notice how the throttle grip has side to side play in it kind of sloppy, installed this toilet downtube washer in front of the grip took all that play out so much better.
