I have an Energy One clutch pack and upon their advice I adjusted the set screw out from seated only 1/4 turn. A darn good friction zone starting close to the handlebar but neutral is difficult (impossible) finding at a standstill. 09 six speed.

Extra plate and disc?

I was thinking of trying the procedure whereby you adjust the pack until the clutch lever just comes off the handlebar (do you know that trick?) but that point was a long way from the lightly seated point, if that makes any sense. Tryin to learn here as well.

But you still have the extra plate and disc. You just replaced the 1st energy one full width friction disc with the oem narrow friction and judder spring right? Those extra plate/disc clutches have 1 more disc and steel but your clutch lever/rod still has the same throw so the clutch will separate less between the friction discs and steels because there are more of them. Thats why you were told to go with 1/4 turn on the adjuster to try to get the most separation possible. Thats why neutral is hard to find, not enough separation, and too much drag.
