Cool good to know thanks. Once I get a couple hundred miles with the new fluids I'll see how it feels. Does seem a little strange already that the clutch does not disengage till close to 3/4 travel but again it's not like it's at the end of the lever release. Any ballpark specs on when that should occur with clutch lever travel distance before disengagment.
I installed the AIM Variable Pressure Clutch and now can't use a box end wrench to tighten the locking nut. Do any of you know where I can get a deep socket with an open end so I can slide the Tee hex down and has slots on the side of the socket so I can tighten with a wrench, sort of like a spark plug socket but in 11/16??

Once the pressure plate is adjusted, grab the bolt to feel the play: you must feel the slack that will compensate thermal expansion of the clutch.

To flatten out two sides that I can use an open end
Wrench, if I remember correctly I made it to fit 3/4
