+1, if your clutch is grabbing that far out on the travel of the lever, you are close to doing damage to your bike (once it gets bad enough that it never fully lets out, shifting can damage your trans).
The rule I have followed with all of my bikes is that I want the engagement to happen almost exactly in the middle of the travel of the movement of the clutch handle.

How much slack is in the cable right now?

btw there is no way a clutch does damage to tranny, only the rider can..
