Clutch Responsiveness
Clutch Responsiveness
I just did the MSF Basic Rider Course 2 this weekend on my Breakout. Most of the course is low speed maneuvering and require you to be in the "friction zone" of the clutch. After doing this basically all day long my clutch response felt a little different.
Before, it seemed like the bike started pulling much sooner during the clutch release. Now it feels like I have to let it almost all the way out to get any pull. So my question is what caused this to happen and how do I get it back to like it was before!?

You probably wore the clutch plates a bit from all the slipping you were doing.
Do a complete clutch adjustment, which involves the screw and locknut under the clutch cover on the primary, and also the adjuster on the cable itself.
