Default Hydraulic clutch adjustment ?

I have a 13 SE ultra with a hyd clutch and 27,000 easy miles on it, it is now catching almost at the end of throw on clutch handle, the manual has nothing on adjusting it. Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

Harley Hydraulic clutches can not be adjusted all you can do is replace the plates or get an after market side cover and mechanical push rod set up.

I went with the Baker Hydraulic side cover. It allows you to adjust the clutch much the way you would with a cable clutch. I have a hydraulic and as Mark noted the only way to adjust it is to ensure that it is bled well. I could never get the HD hydraulic side cover to dial in to allow an accurate shift.
