Clunkiest clutch I've ever had......
New-ish to me 22 SGS........
Is this "Less than smooth" clutch action on this new style clutch cable set-up due to the cable connector/adjuster in the middle of the two piece cable the culprit here? Ridden a lot of bikes with cable, and hydraulic, clutches and I know that they're all a little different and it takes a minute to get use to it, just like cars and trucks, but after 13,000 miles, this thing still sucks *** off the line, especially in the hills and when it's cold. That being said, is the upgraded aftermarket metal adjuster the answer? Or is there a one piece cable replacement for this that does away with the whole contraption? Is the purpose for the adjuster just to more easily(?) adjust where your friction zone hits as you let out the clutch lever?
Honestly.......... I prefer the hydraulic on my 14 SGS and others that I've owned over this..........

You can convert with the AIM kit, if you ever want to go back.
Good luck, brother.
